Sapphyria 's Reviews > Double Twist

Mia Murphy is a former petty thief who also got tangled up with a drug lord. After turning on him, getting him convicted, and surviving an assassination attempt, all Mia wants is to lie low and live an ordinary life. Buying a marina in a small Maine town seemed like the perfect plan. Yeah, about that plan...Mia soon finds herself on opposing sides of jet skiing moose, avoiding incompetent Chiefs of Police, drooling over a certain cop, and aiding and abetting her new friends, Hattie an Lucy, in a homicide investigation. So much for lying low and trying out the ordinary lifestyle.

Poor Mia leaves her old life behind to start fresh and new but the town of Derby Bass has other ideas. She gets tangled up with Hattie and Lucy and when they discover a dead body, one her new friends is immediately considered a suspect. Now it looks like Mia might have to rely her previous like to help catch a killer.

Double Twist is a humorous mystery with great characters. Mia is snarky and hilarious. Hattie is a really bad influence, and I love her. Lucy is low-key but as enjoyable as Mia and Hattie. The story is fast-paced and I was engaged from the synopsis. The book, characters, and setting are all captivating and I enjoyed the romp through Derby Bass, Maine.
