Our second mystery for today takes us to our lovely Gulf Coast,
and the 8th book in this series!
Synopsis:
THIS JUST IN-
On the weather front, Category Four Hurricane Kevin took a last-minute left and is headed straight for the Bellissimo Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.
In breaking news, Undercover Casino Operative Davis Way has one foot out the evacuation door when fifty million dollars disappear, and in its place, a dead body.
In other news, if forced to ride out the storm on the hotel's thirteenth-floor fortress, Davis won't be alone. Her husband, Bradley, her best friend, Fantasy, and a crew of highly trained first responders will be hurricane hostages too, along with Mississippi State Gaming Agents, a FEMA agent, an insurance agent, a State Special Agent, and an Emergency Response Agent-at least one of them a double agent.
The good news is her high school reunion is cancelled.
The bad news is everything else.
The fake news features a castaway pig named Bacon.
The hurricane heist headlines will be sensational. If Davis survives to see them. Grab your rain slicker and galoshes for DOUBLE AGENT, A Davis Way Crime Caper, and prepare yourself for a perfect storm of humor, hi-jinks, and heart.
Review:
For those who know the Biloxi area, there's no guessing which hotel is the basis for the Bellissimo! Once again, Gretchen gives the read a light mystery that is such a page turner, you may find yourself not able to put it down! In this book, it's very easy for us Gulf Coasters to see the correlations to Hurricane Katrina, especially when we pass by reminds all the time! So for us, we may read this book with a bit more of a critical eye, but I have to say she nailed the nuances! And really, if you're gonna survive a Hurricane, why not with your ex and a pig? LOL there's plenty of laugh out loud moments that will have you snorting while trying not to laugh and have to explain it why to people sitting next to you! If you haven't read any books from this series, this is a great one to start with, then go back and read them all!
