Double Take by Catherine Coulter


My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This was a pretty good book, but not everything was thought out.
I have a few problems with the book in general, not the story so much:
In The Maze we meet Sherlock's parents. Mrs Sherlock is constantly accusing Mr Sherlock of trying to kill her, of having girlfriends, etc. She is completely delusional. Suddenly now she's alright, madly in love with her husband and normal? Also i would like to see Sean more, it seems Coulter uses him as a prop to make little family scenes that warm your heart, but you never get to know him, and it seems, neither do his parents. Taking a nanny along to visit the grandparents?
The sex scene leaves wanting for more (I never thought i would say that), compared to other books it was really nothing. They each go to their own bed at night, and in the morning they're together all of the sudden, with nothing leading up to it, which we find out from the housekeeper? Not Coulter's usual style.

That said the story was intriguing, even though the psychic business was weird. I do like how they were all quirky. Too bad we don't find out August Ransom's quirkiness, he sounds like a saint.
I am also happy Dix Noble found out what happened to Christie, the moment I read in point blank that the wife was missing (and they didn't find her at the end of the book) I knew there would be another book.
