Mystery

Davis is a former cop who now works undercover for a big casino in Mississippi. As much as she likes this gig, she is not happy when she ordered to work a big slot machine tournament.

Davis has just come off of a job and all she wants to do is go back to her condo and sleep all weekend. But when the boss orders you to work, you work. But news flash, not only does she have to work the tournament, she has to impersonate her boss' wife. People have always said that they look a lot a like. Davis feels like she is being double dipped.

Gretchen Archer's writing had me laughing out loud. DOUBLE DIP has some pretty comical scenes in which the characters are involved. I have never been to a casino, but after reading this book, I felt like I was right there gambling. The description of the casinos seem spot on. Not sure if Gretchen Arthur researched this by hanging out in a casino or she did a lot of research on line. No matter which way, see hit the nail on the head with DOUBLE DIP.

SUMMARY

It's Davis Way's first slot-tournament season. And it may be her last. Things are dicey at work. A personal assistant goes missing, a little old lady goes on a suspicious winning streak, and a Bellissimo executive goes gaga for Davis. She follows a disappearing slot-tournament player trail to the So Help Me God Pentecostal Church in Beehive, Alabama, then jumps headlong into a high stakes holy scandal.

She's on a losing streak at home, too. Her days, nights, and dinners run together, as Davis juggles a revolving door of uninvited guests, namely her rotten ex-ex-husband, Eddie Crawford. And Bradley Cole thinks three's a crowd.

The worst? Davis doesn't feel so hot. Maybe it's the banana pudding, or maybe it's a little bundle of something else.

DOUBLE DIP. A reckless ride in the fast lane, and Davis Way can't find the brakes.
