Reminiscent of a Janet Evanovich novel, the main character, Assistant State Attorney Meredith O'Brien can't go to her mailbox without danger as bad guys harrass and stalk her. She's got a new love interest with a shady past. Can she trust him? Who can she trust? The one she can trust is a former lover she'd like to keep in the past, but he's a police detective sworn to protect her. Co-workers and even family members can't be ruled out as people of suspicion. Bringing a serial rapist and killer to justice just might be the death of her.… (mer)

LOVED this book! I am a total sucker for a good mystery and add the slight paranormal twist to it and you have me hooked!

This book was definitely a character builder! At the beginning of the story, Doris is this boring woman who's life seems to be the same thing day to day...not really living, merely just functioning. And then it all changes with a quick moment of choice on a blind date. Who Doris is by the end of the book is far more fascinating than what I ever expected when starting this book! She turns out to be quick the bad ass!

It was a unique read-I almost felt like I was reading two stories as there were two different plots going on for most of the book (hence the double part of the title)...yet it was not confusing for me to read,it made it more exciting and it kept me wondering how it would all tie together in the end.

I loved the Della character and her sassy relationship with Doris...although I pictured her as a full figured black woman and not the petite one described in the book. On the other side of the story, I was also drawn to the quick love that you could feel between Doris and Linda, the sweet little girl quickly found someone to attach too during her troubled time and it was an instant connection.

The story was a good read, adding the intelligent engineering side to it all, helped to see who Doris really was and how her brain worked, which for her was often a life saver.

If you enjoy a good mystery/romance/paranormal this is a must read!… (mer)

A page turning crime solving mystery that truly keeps you guessing all the way through the book! Meredith is an Assistant Attorney General that in one crazy swoop ends up in the very public eye and with not just one person, but several who have scores to settle with her. In the midst of delving into some very dangerous and very public cases, she meets a dreamy Bo Perry-who just may or may not have ill intentions towards her. On top of all her chaotic cases she unintentionally ends up with the most lovable smart dog Happy. And this is just one day in the life of the Assistant Attorney General Meredith.

Along with Meredith a woman very passionate about her job and her relationships, you have her fun sidekick and fellow ADA Stacie, her meddling journalist cousin Maria, and her over protective ex-boyfriend cop and as always her lovable pup Happy and you have a great combination of characters that make a fantastic story!

I am a sucker for mysteries, add a little law into it and I am hooked! This book had everything one could ask for in a good mystery and with just enough of a love story to really bring the story all together. I truly could not guess the twists it was going to take all the way up until they were revealed.
