I've always loved the Sherlock and Savich series, but this one fell short of all the others. It has been my least favorite. I really couldn't get into it. This one is definitely worth skipping. Maybe next time Savich and Sherlock will be back and better!

This is the newest book of the FBI thrillers from Catherine Coulter. It is much better than her previous one. It appears there are two different plots but pay attention, things aren't what they seem to be. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and reading more about some of my favorite characters: Dillon and Sherlock, Sheriff Dix and his FBI friend, Ruth.

Not one of Catherine's best. psychics and mediums all around. Some pretty much off the wall.

Unbelievable...and by that, I mean literally unbelievable.
A rundown of the first chapter: An FBI agent sees an unknown woman get punched in the face, and then the assailant pulls a knife on her. When said FBI agent yells at the assailant, he runs away, after tossing the woman over the side of the pier into the bay. FBI agent, because he's not only an FBI agent but also an honorable man, rescues woman from the ocean, and revives her with CPR. Then, because she tells him to, he doesn't call the police. Instead, FBI agent carries (still) unknown woman to his personal vehicle, drives (still) unknown woman to her mansion home, takes (still) unknown woman upstairs to her bedroom and her master bath, then strips down (still) unknown woman and himself to their underwear and gets into a warm shower with her. Then, FBI agent puts on men's clothes that (still) unknown woman provides for him, and decides he will now call someone he knows in the local police department.
And then, finally, finds out who unknown woman is.
T-o-t-a-l-l-y unbelievable. Not to mention that the dialogue throughout the book is so stilted that I found myself groaning more often than grinning. Where I used to love the Dillon and Savich stories, Ms. Coulter's newer works have left me longing for the books of old.
If you must, check DOUBLE TAKE out from your local library. Or wait until it comes out in paperback. In my opinion, it's definitely not worth the hardcover price.
