Double Date

2-1/2 Stars out of 5
Authors:Barbara Taylor McCafferty & Beverly Taylor Herald

This book is part of an ongoing series which features Identical Twin sisters Nan & Bert Tatum.

Once again, Bert and Nan Tatum exchange identities and once again, they wind up in a mortally dangerous situation as a result.

Nan has had it with the singles scene. That's why she decides to join an online dating service. But all the men who respond to her ad are losers. So she decides to join the service again and pass herself off as her boring twin sister Bert.

Bullseye! Nan's new personal ad (as Bert) pulls in Derek Stanhope, a gorgeous, successful businessman.

Unfortunately right after Nan finally meets Derek, she finds him murdered in his own driveway. Nan goes to find help, but when the cops arrive the body has mysteriously vanished.

Since there is no body, Nan has a hard time convincing the police that Derek is really dead. So Nan and Bert decide they must solve the murder themselves. Soon Nan and Bert's lives are in jeopardy as the murderer tries to stop them from solving the crime.

Personally I found this book to be somewhat corny. I had a hard time identifying with Bert. She seems like such a stick-in-the-mud that I really did not like her. Nan on the other-hand is a fun character. I realize that the authors were trying to make the twins complete opposites but Bert just seemed to be too perfect and complain too much.

Although I did not particularly enjoy this book, do not let my review stop you from reading it. I read the reviews on
Amazon.com and everyone who read the book thought it was great. I guess everyone is entitled to a different opinion.

Until Next Time!
