A review by jacque18
Doubleback by Libby Fischer Hellmann
3.0
(Note: I received a free Kindle copy of this book in exchange for my review.)
In Doubleback, private investigator Georgia Davis and video producer Ellie Foreman work together to unravel the mystery of a kidnapped child, several seemingly accidental deaths and the theft of $3 million dollars from a local bank.
The story was compelling and kept me turning pages (or clicking buttons in this case) to find out whodunit. I also enjoyed the sprinkling of some political food for thought in the form of a foray into the ethanol industry as Ellie produces a video, and a perspective on illegal immigration as Georgia pursues the investigation to an Arizona border town.
Some of Georgia and Ellie’s investigation seems a little clumsy, and it strains credulity that they could question people so obviously without the person more quickly figuring out that they were after more than just casual conversation. That’s a small quibble, however. Overall the book is a fun read and is well written.
