"Funny & wonderful & human. It gets the Stephanie Plum seal of approval." (Janet Evanovich)

Davis Way thinks she's hit the jackpot when she lands a job as the fifth wheel on an elite security team at the fabulous Bellissimo Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. But once there, she runs straight into her ex-ex-husband, a rigged slot machine, her evil twin, and a trail of dead bodies. Davis learns the truth, and it does not set her free - in fact, it lands her in the pokey.

Buried under a mistaken identity, her hot streak runs cold until her landlord, Bradley Cole, steps in. Make that her landlord, lawyer, and love interest. With his help, Davis must win this high-stakes game before her luck runs out.

My new favorite series. Not only is the story hilarious, the narrator is excellent, will definitely be listening to the rest of the series.

Great, funny story

It was OK, but the narrator may have added to some of the confusion. I enjoyed the voice but it was difficult to figure out sometimes if we were in the past or present. I also think there were some bad edits especially late in the book. Good story but I can't decide if I will listen to the next one.

Double Whammy is an enjoyable listen. It's a fun mystery and I'll be purchasing the next one in the series. I love the use of descriptive names of people, like "no hair" and "teeth". The narrator did an excellent job. I would recommend.

The whole story rests upon one improbable coincidence after another. But it's still loads of fun.

I enjoyed this story! This may seem strange since the main character is seriously bent. She has trouble controlling her temper, makes poor decisions, and has a strange moral code. She, as one of her colleagues observes, thinks like a criminal. It is no surprise that she ends up in prison for a while, it is a surprise that she got out. Still I couldn't help rooting for her, and I've got to read the next one. I am hooked.

Davis Way has serious mental problems

This is a very enjoyable cozy mystery with very entertaining characters and some great humor sprinkled in here and there along with an interesting mystery. I really enjoyed this performance. It was very good and fit the characters.

Very entertaining cozy mystery, performance

I'm in the middle of reading a classic (Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky), a well-known book (Watership Down) and a horror book (Doctor Sleep by Stephen King). They are all on hold because, although I really have a great desire to read them and them getting a good experience (well, Watership Down has come into question because, it REALLY appears to be more of a children's story and less gripping), I needed something that was just FUN for a while! Davis Way Crime Capers to the rescue! Cozy mysteries, in general, when their well done provide mentally and emotionally light atmosphere which I required, and Davis Way fit perfectly!
_Double Whammy_had me laughing and, although I was concerned about individual characters and situations, I can truly say that I really enjoyed the breathing room and the cast of people with which I was provided! And although it was "lighthearted", it was NOT obvious. I didn't come off thinking "well I just wasted some time!" Instead, I thought "what a delightful way to address, "questionable" circumstances and conditions." And the good people were good, the evil people were evil, and the unknowns were definitely mixed!

Totally enjoyable cozy mystery

This book is engaging from the onset. The writing has lots of dry funny one liners. The story is easy to follow and keeps you interested.

Engaging and entertaining

I really liked everything about this book. Not too graphic on murders, which is good. Not heavy on love scenes (a plus for me at well). Just a good cozy mystery. And I hadn't figured out "whodunnit" in advance so that was also good. Very well written. I wasn't sure if I liked the narration, but I do find that sometimes I have to stick with it to get used to the narrator. And, yes, I ended up liking this narrator very much, and I am happy now that she is the voice of Davis Way (and she's not a narrator on any other books I listen to; so, I like that). I definitely recommend! I'm looking forward to getting all of these Davis Way Crime Caper books.

Really like this one

Turned into a good suspenseful story, but I struggled with the writing style. Scenes end abruptly, jumping to something else and making the timeline awkward. Details - for example, all about Bradley - came long after he entered the story. The bouncing around various assignments that Davis did at the beginning didn’t make sense. A lot happened that made me think the author had details and backstories in her head, but she didn't share with the reader. But will try book two!

Still a bit torn...
