She survived a murder plot and her attacker is dead--isn't he?

Detective James Cross has been honorably discharged from the Army's Criminal Investigation Division due to wounds sustained when an IED blew up near him. Now with the Lake City Police Department, he's rooming with his good buddy and partner, Cole, while he figures out his family dynamics.

Physician Assistant Lainie Jackson is eighteen months out from an attempted murder perpetrated by her ex, which ended when she managed to grab the weapon and shoot him. When he appears to have survived and is back to finish the job he started, Lainie insists it's not possible. But someone keeps trying to kill her, and she keeps seeing his face.

Together, Lainie and James must work together to find out who exactly is after her and why he wants her dead. And failure is not an option.

Double Take is a true page-turner from front to back. James Cross is a strong man who has experienced many misfortunes and served as an Army Criminal Investigation Division agent. He seems natural; it's almost like he stepped out of that paper before you. Cole has a part of lightness amity, which relieves the general tense atmosphere created by the plot.

The plot turns when Lainie Jackson, an energetic Physician Assistant with the ICU homecare team, appears. Her world is taken apart from her by attempts on her life that force her into hiding in fear of death. Lainie's character develops from victim to survivor, and she pleads that she knows that her ex is still alive.

As for the storyline, it seems that it succeeds overall in being well done. Yet the plot is labyrinthine in mystery and suspense as Lainie teams up with James to hunt down her attacker. Time is short, and the issues are critical--like watching an edge-of-your-seat thriller.

This is indeed one of the best books with suspense and mystery; readers will not regret it.
