Publisher's summary

On behalf of USA Today best-selling author Gretchen Archer, welcome aboard flight Double Up. Fasten your seat belts for non-stop action as stiff competition blows into town and the resulting turbulence threatens to take down the Bellissimo Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Super Secret Spy Davis Way Cole, who lives on the 29th floor of the hotel with her CEO husband and newborn twins, takes it hard. If the casino goes belly up, she won't be a stay-at-home mom because she won't have a home. Not to mention, her husband won't have a job.

Davis can't find a way to stop the inevitable end of the Bellissimo life she loves until her ex-mother-in-law shows up, unexpected and definitely uninvited. Davis makes the best of a bad Bea Crawford situation and recruits her for a little corporate espionage work, which would've been great, had Bea not turned out to be the world's worst spy. Ever. Seatbacks and tray tables in their upright positions as we prepare for a bumpy ride with babies, bankruptcies, besties, and shrimp. (Shrimp?) Enjoy your flight.

Each story is more engaging than the last

I love how easy it is to commiserate with Davis’s crazy escapades. The stories are well performed

Great story, annoying quirk with performer

I love this series. The characters are wonderful. And this book is no exception. The performer does a wonderful job with the characters, but she has one incredibly annoying quirk: she doesn't punctuate the ends of her sentences. Even at the very end of the book, it seems like the next thought will come any moment. Her voice never goes down to indicate finality. It bugged me throughout the whole book. But other than that, it's a terrific read.

Slow Build-Up

Great characters but storyline was really slow for the first half, but then the pieces started yo come together and the pace picked-up. The ending was satisfactory and I look forward to the next one.

Great addition to the series

Amber Beason is pretty for this series. Her voice adds to the story telling and brings it alive during long drives. Gretchen provides a great read, characters and plot. I wait impatiently for each new book and haven't been let down yet.

If you enjoy a mystery with humor, I recommend the Davis Way crime series.

Hilarious, suspenseful, love the characters!

This series is one of my new favorites! I can’t stop listening! The narrator is golden; perfect timing, voices and accents you can remember and skillful performance. And the story….! I don’t know where to start. It’s detailed and you still can’t figure out the end. It moves fast and is too much fun
Great great job G!!! 5 stars!

Absolutely Hilarious

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, this is by far the funniest of all of the Davis Way Crime Capers.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Bea Crawford!

Would you be willing to try another one of Amber Benson’s performances?

No

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Biloxi Blitz goes Boom

Any additional comments?

The book was awesome. The narration is bad! At times I was confused on which character dialogue. The first narrator was the best.

The best yet

Double Up takes listeners on a wild rollercoaster ride of intrigue, desperation, dumpster-diving, spying... and Bea, Davis's ex ex mother in law, who was a hoot and a half. She became a (semi) real person, actually likeable.
As always, Amber Benson is the wonderfully fantastic voice of Davis, the voice of everything Bellisimo.
Gretchen Archer, keep ' em coming. We're here, waiting for the next book.
...still waiting...

Most enjoyable so far!

The narrator is amazing and I can’t imagine reading the book would even be near as enjoyable as listening to it. Bea is my favorite character. The complexity of the behind the scenes computer knowledge is impressive. I don’t think you’ll find a smarter author that writes cozy mysteries.

1st book started slow but wham!! it took off!!

great series!! wanted to get to the next one immediately!! laughed so hard I had tears!!!!

Great!

My favorite in the series. It is hilarious (get ready to laugh out loud) and it has a good storyline.
