BOOK REVIEW: Double Mint by Gretchen Archer




by Gretchen Archer (Goodreads Author)
Paperback, 267 pages
Published July 21st 2015 by Henery Press (first published July 1st 2015)

Goodreads synopsis: It’s convention season at the Bellissimo Resort and Casino and Davis Way Cole barely notices. It’s hard to pay attention when you live in a Jambalaya Junkyard. But when Special Events Coordinator Holder Darby walks off the job just as five hundred Alabama bankers pour in the front door, Davis steps up.
   Or would that be in? Definitely in. Davis steps in.
   It.
   Not only has the convention director vanished, but a certain Bellissimo guest is missing. One who forgot to pack the million dollars he left in the bathtub. It looks like our redhead newlywed Super Secret Spy’s lazy summer is over when the Bellissimo vault is robbed. Can Davis connect the dots before it’s too late? Can she get her Taser gun back from Bianca Sanders? Will she be stuck with Eddie Crawford’s 1962 Cadillac forever? What Davis needs is a little faith. And a lot of luck.
   New money. Old sins. Back to jail. And a cat.
   (A cat?)
   Break the Bank

Davis Way is back! I just love her. She cracks me up. Davis looks exactly like the owner of the casino's wife (but the wife is ten years older). Casino wifey is on an exercise kick and wants Davis to buff up a bit (okay, a lot). And when she isn't getting the third degree from Bianca, she is trying to convince everyone that Magnolia has something to do with all this bathtub of cash that is all funny money. But no one is listening to her. No one wants to believe the impossible.... no one except Davis Way. And Davis goes to the ends of the earth to prove herself right... okay, she went all the way to New Orleans. Same difference.

This is the fourth book in the Davis Way Crime Caper series and it is definitely a hoot just like the rest of them. I don't want to give too much away because uncovering all the clues is the fun part of reading a book like this. I extremely enjoyed this title. It was fun, refreshing and, like I said, a definite hoot and a half. If you love yourself a little cozy mystery or a crime caper, this book is for you.

4 Stars.

Anxiously awaiting book number 5. 

I received this book as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) from Net Galley in return for an honest review. I thank Net Galley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
