It's been more than six months since her husband's brutal death, and Julia Ransom is just beginning to breathe again. She loved her husband, renowned psychic August Ransom, but the media frenzy that followed his murder sapped what little strength she had left. Now, after dinner with friends, strolling along San Francisco's Pier 39, she realizes that she's happy. Standing at the railing, she savors the sounds around her-tourists, seals on a barge-and for a moment enjoys the sheer normalcy of it all. And then it comes to an end.
Out of nowhere she's approached by a respectable-looking man who distracts her with conversation before violently attacking her and throwing her the railing. If it hadn't been for Special Agent Cheney Stone, out to stretch his legs between courses at a local restaurant, Julia would have vanished into the bay's murky depths. Not only does he save her from a watery grave, but he senses a connection between her assault and her husband's death, and sets out to serve as her protector while reopening August Ransom's murder investigation.
Meanwhile, in Maestro, Virginia, Sheriff Dixon Noble-last seen in Point Blank-still mourns his wife, Christie, who vanished hree years earlier. His life, too, is just getting back to normal when he learns of a San Francisco woman named Charlotte Pallack, whose shocking resemblance to Christie sends Dix across the country. Though he knows in his heart that she can't possibly be his wife, Dix is compelled to see her with his own eyes. Once in San Francisco, Dix and Cheney's paths inevitably cross. With the help of agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock, whose San Francisco connections prove essential in unlocking the mystery behind Charlotte Pallack's identity as well as the forces behind Julia Ransom's attempted murder, Sheriff Noble and Agent Stone push deep into a complex world of psychics and poseurs. As the stakes and the body count rise, Savich, Sherlock, Dix, and Cheney fight for answers-and their lives.

Double Take FBI Series
| Customer Rating: | | I really enjoyed this story. I hadn't read Catherine Coulter in years. All I thought she wrote were cheesy Historical Romances. Double Take grabbed me from the first paragraph. Yes, there was the prerequisite romance, but it was also filled with suspence and mystery. It was a great read and I look forward to reading more of her FBI Series novels. |
Double Take

Formulaic-And Mediocre Formula at That
| Customer Rating: | This is the first book I've had from this author. It is basically a police thriller with little connection to police reality. FBI agents don't run all over the country with no coordination or supervision. The characters were stereotypical and excessively wordy. This would have been called a "woman's book" a couple of generations ago, but that isn't PC now. Far too much time is wasted with the characters muddling in their emotions. It's a shame the author didn't spend the effort instead on creating a cogent plot and a knowledge of police procedure.
I've been a mystery reader since the 60's and I'd call this 'mystery lite'. For those who prefer touchy-feely mysteries without a lot of realism, this would probably make a great read. For others, look elsewhere. |
Double Take
| Customer Rating: | | I really like the way the auther has you on the edge of your seat/ It is hard to put the book down after you get in to the story. |
