   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   ) LaneyLegz | Jul 29, 2023 |  The biggest issue I had was so many unbelievable situations and skills. Definitely need to set aside some reality knowledge to fall into the story line. And, ummm... GLOCKS DON'T HAVE A 'THUMB SAFETY.' Sheesh. That whole scene kind of sat wrong for an experienced former law enforcement professional. But I won't say more because I don't want to do any spoilers. I might read more in the series, mostly because the writer did a pretty good job at developing characters and editing for spelling, grammar etc and offered a fun ride. (  ) ker95tx | May 27, 2020 | There were a lot of interesting characters in this story. George Morgan or mayber Morgan George, was a cabbie that seemed to know more about what was going on than Davis did. The two security guys she was supposed to work with, Teeth and No Hair as Davis called them, thought she was a bumbling fool, but usually did what she asked. The two older women who played the slots beside Davis were also pretty funny. There was a lot of action, some unexpected twists and a totally surprising romance angle that will have you turning pages quickly to get to the satisfying conclusion. I am ready for Double Dip. (  ) Carlathelibrarian | Feb 5, 2019 | We wondered throughout how the events in this story would be brought together. We give this book three stars due to profanity and adult situations. Although it isn’t particularly graphic, it is obvious what is happening. Infidelity and violence are also included in this story. Negative aspects aside, it was an interesting story and one couldn’t help but share in Davis’s frustrations. If you’re into crime capers, you will find Double Whammy very entertaining. We were provided a free copy of this book in order to review it. celticmama36 | May 5, 2017 | Once I hunkered down and started really reading, I didn't want to put it down; a lot of the story is far-fetched, but it's marketed as a "caper" so expectations are set from the cover, and the writing, the mystery solving, the delightfully flawed-character are all so well done and entertaining. Foreshadowing or not, I enjoyed the bejeezus out of this book. To anyone who might want to check it out and they read the summary, I'd just like to point out that while accurate enough it sort of gives readers the wrong impression about what to expect: "doppelgänger" would have been a better word choice than "twin", and the ex-ex-husband's role was... atypical. In spite of the story definitely being a caper - an almost mad-cap one - the MC has hidden depths, and I adore her adoration of her daddy; there were a lot of parallels between her father-daughter relationship and the one I had with my daddy (yes, "daddy" - it's a Southern thing). Those scenes probably account for that 1/2 star, because they no doubt upped my enjoyment of the whole book. Some might take exception to the insta-love, but I lumped it in under the caper thing and just rolled with it. I'll read the next one, but even at 4.5 stars, I don't feel like I have to rush out to get it right away. This story ended really nicely with all the questions answered. Highly recommended if you're looking for a caper that isn't silly or slapstick. (  ) murderbydeath | Nov 13, 2016 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
