With one solved case under her belt, PJ Sugar is ready to
dive into her career as a private investigator. Or at least a PI’s
assistant until she can prove herself to Jeremy Kane, her new boss.
Suddenly PJ’s seeing crime everywhere. But is it just in her head, or can she
trust her instincts? When she takes on her first official case—house-sitting for
a witness in protective custody—Jeremy assures her there’s no danger involved.
But it soon becomes clear that there is someone after the witness . . . and now
they’re after PJ, too.

I flew through this book yesterday... so good! PJ is endearing and it is one adventure after another with her. With sparks flying, humor, grace and more you are sure to be delighted as PJ stumbles, flies and finds her footing in this book. I am so eager to start book 3, but at the same time sad too, because I know it will mean the end of this series... unless Warren has a continuance up her sleeve I am not aware of!
At the end of the book, in the Author's Notes, Warren wrote this and I think it beautifully portrays PJ and what the heart of this novel is about:
"...I hate my own mistakes, my own tendencies to get in over my head. I hate looking backward with a wince.
I brought this frustration to the page in Double Trouble - in PJ's desire to be the Greatest PI on the Earth and her tendency to both over commit and see trouble wherever she turns. I wanted her to fall, to scrub her chin on the ground, and to taste failure. Because only then could I tell her what I long to hear myself - that God doesn't expect us to be perfect or not to make mistakes. He longs to forgive us... and then empower us.
"Draw with confidence to the throne of grace, because I promise you'll find mercy." I love that message, because it's when I am most distraught that I must remember God is the best friend I can have. He is not going to love me less after He saves me than before! He longs to reach out and pull me close, despite my perceived ugliness, because He is crazy about me, as hard as that is for me to believe sometimes."
Okay, get ready, get set... to open this book and be completely glued to it for the next several hours! Adventure, mystery, romance & grace await you on the pages!
Delighted!
