It was supposed to be a simple case. A simple body guard case that somehow went terribly wrong.

When Nancy Gilbert's sister, Tanya Stowell is murdered, the person she turns to for help is former Company agent Tom Casey. Afraid for herself and her family, Nancy hires Tom to protect her from her ex-husband who's just gotten out of prison. Believing Drew Harland, the ex, killed her sister, she panics when he suddenly turns up in town.

What Nancy, Tom, and his associates don't realize is that someone else is in the background with murder on the mind. When some of the main players, including the main suspect, start turning up dead themselves, Tom realizes that they could all be victims if this silent killer isn't caught, and soon! The question is are they too close to the forest to see the trees?

This is the stand-alone sequel to Ms LaPierre's THE ENEMY STALKS, and is every bit as good and then some. It takes place several years after TES and it was great to have a little update on how everyone is doing now.

DOUBLE TROUBLE is the perfect title for this story. It's exactly what Tom Casey, his wife Jennifer, and his associates have on their hands. For a while it's kind of hard to tell the warden from the inmates so-to-speak because at one time or another everyone seems to be a suspect to Tom.

Ms LaPierre does a terrific job of slowly revealing what she wants you to know. The plot is tightly woven, and the characters realistic enough to keep me turning pages as fast as I could read. I was as much in the dark as the characters about who was doing all the killing until the author finally gave enough clues for me to 'get it'.

If you're into suspenseful stories without a lot of graphic blood and guts you'll really enjoy this one from Ms LaPierre. I can highly recommend it

Double Trouble  Jan 29, 2001

Double Trouble is the 2nd book of a series by Betty Sullivan LaPierre. The author's first book, The Enemy Stalks, was so exciting and fast paced, I was reluctant to think the sequel could measure up. Well, put those thoughts aside and enjoy! The author's amazing ability to make the characters live on the page creates intricate drama of murder, betrayal, love, greed and hate. The pace moves quickly with suspenseful twists and turns. I found myself rushing to the end to see how all the pieces and characters would fall into place. This book offers exciting entertainment and "double trouble" putting it down once you begin.

Double Trouble review  Jan 28, 2001
By Jennifer L. Oliver "ollie1976"
This book, the second of the Hawkman series, was great. I enjoyed the plot twists and not knowing who murdered a sister until near the end of the story. The author did an excellent job when she wrote this e-book!

Excellent Reading  Jan 02, 2001
By Shadoe Simmons
The Hawkman and Jennifer come together once again in a novel you won't be able to put down until you've finished the very last page. Double Trouble has blended suspense and the human element into an intricately woven plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you watch this murder mystery unravel. Secrets, hidden hatreds, and betrayal come together to create a story that keeps you right in the middle of the emotions, and events portrayed. The intricate plot will keep guessing all through the novel, and will keep you turning each page with anticipation. Another excellent Hawkman novel.
