When a job opportunity pops up for Davis Way
to get out of Pine Apple, Alabama, she jumps at the chance to become plain
clothes security for Bellismo Hotel and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. Her
first job: to uncover a corruption regarding the slot machine: Double Whammy,
Deuces Wild. Everything is going great until her ex-ex husband, Eddie Crawford and
her employer’s wife, Bianca Sanders turn out to be in the heart of the problem.
To make matters worse, Davis is a double for Bianca and her immediate supervisor,
Natalie, seems to be behind it all. When a case of mistaken identity and an
attempted murder get pinned on her, Davis finds herself in the slammer with no
way to get help from her family. With no one else to turn to but her landlord
lawyer, Bradley Cole, Davis must figure out a way to clear her name or wind up
going to prison for something she didn’t do for a very long time. Will she
succeed?
Narrator, Dina Pearlman has an entertaining,
southern drawl that brings a unique dimension to Archer’s characters. The plot
is well-developed and draws the reader into Davis Way’s world easily. Although
the story drags in a few places, the book moves at a steady pace. The narrative
style is clear with smooth transitions. Although
it’s hard to believe that a former cop would touch a suspicious gun without
gloves on is hard to believe, but the humor and light-hearted nature of the book
makes up for this oversight. Overall, I give it 4 out of 5 stars. The story had
a few holes and part that weren’t very believable, but the plot was easy to
follow and entertaining.
4 stars, ADULT
