Double Take

From: $12.13

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.

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 07, 2007 Type: User Review Double Take: FBI Thriller

Really dumb. FBI agents just going out on their own and solving crimes?? Would not recommend. Boring and dumb.

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 06, 2007 Type: User Review An engineering disaster (Applies ONLY to audio book)

I've always enjoyed Catherine Coulter's books and this one is no exception. Sandra Burr and Phil Gigante are fine readers on their own. In this reading, Mr. Gigante reads the book as well as all the men's parts, Ms. Burr handles all the female...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 05, 2007 Type: User Review I too, had trouble with this one

I actually gave up on it after 145 pages - just couldn't get into it. The writing was choppy, the characters just weren't interesting enough to hold my interest -- I felt almost like I was reading an intermediate reader's book, with very short...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 03, 2007 Type: User Review Hate to be a downer, but I think it's over for Catherine & Me

I started reading the FBI books back when The Cove first came out. I have read every one of them, but unlike most of my audio books, I didn't have this one set to ship the day it came out. I love the characters, but I don't like the narration....

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 02, 2007 Type: User Review Not a bad installment

I'm never quite sure about Catherine Coulter. I have at one point or another read all her books, starting way back when she just wrote historical romance. I enjoy her plots - I'm a person who loves series because I like to get to know characters,...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 24, 2007 Type: User Review Excellent Read!

What a great book! Loved it. The story doesn't have the same zing as her others but it kept you reading. Highly recommended. Try The Trigger Event if you like political thrillers.

Looking for a new author to try, I decided to give "Double Take" a try. What a mistake!! It's too bad Amazon doesn't allow a '0'rating. This book certainly deserved it. Even skimming the pages, I couldn't finish the book, and finally just put...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 11, 2007 Type: User Review Double Take

I just finished "Double Take" and read it mostly because I knew it continued Dix and Ruth's story and gave closure to what happened to Dix's wife. It didn't flow as smoothly as some of the others in the FBI Series and I didn't care for the whole...
