Double Dog Dare

In Gretchen Archer's Double Dog Dare, the 7th installment in the Davis Way Crime Caper cozy mystery series, this caper will make you curl your toes and sent you on a wild goose chase. For Davis Way-Cole, she lives in a semi-charmed life as a mother of twin daughters, a loving husband, and works in the casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. But when her sister Meredith turns up missing, she receives a mysterious ransom for 50 million dollars from a local pastor. While her husband's in Nashville for business, she teams up with her best friend Fantasy and her sister's best friend Vreeland to look for clues. From there, things aren't that simple to pull off a heist while running a casino, as a blind oil sheik took residence in the casino and is looking for his missing eye dog. Then she has to the body double of Bianca Sanders, a local celebrity, as a judge for a dog show. Things get stranger, when she learns more clues behind the ransom and how it's connected to what's happening inside of the casino. In the end, after they pull it off without a hitch, they would have to get down and dirty to return the money.....


This was a charming and compelling new mystery to enjoy and read for Henery Press. I instantly liked and cared for Davis and her twin daughters. I've found that Vreeland and Fantasy were interesting characters names, and both worked well with Davis to save this newest crime caper adventure in the south. I've found the casino background quite intriguing for the backdrop and how amusing it lights up the page for the Biloxi location with fascinating settings. I loved the dogs, Bubblegum and Princess and Harley, who were charmers of their own. This would make you smile and groan, shake your head and whistle, and enjoy this read with drama, non-stop action, suspense and a dollop of a humorous mystery from start to end.

Will you ready to pay for the double dog dare today?
