Review


Everybody has a double, so the saying goes. When Samantha Smith discovers hers in the form of Jayne Roberts at Chicago's O'Hare Airport, she sees more than an mirror image, she sees opportunity. Dreading her connector flight to Los Angeles and an eventual meeting with a divorce lawyer, Samantha proposes to Jayne a plan to switch places. Jayne will fly to Los Angeles and sign Samantha's divorce papers, a simple task considering the ex-husband to be is in absentia, and Samantha will take on the responsibility of sorting through Jayne's grandmother's enormous house full of belongings before "Grandnanny" is shipped off to a nursing home.
A simple plan, Samantha reasons...what could go wrong? The possibilities are endless, particularly when Samantha - posing as Jayne - takes more than sisterly interest in Jayne's half-brother, and Jayne discovers Samantha's husband...in Samantha's bed. These aren't the only factors complicating their given tasks, for it appears somebody is out to cause some bodily harm. Question is, why, and which twin is the target?
Spittin' Image, the first installment of Brownley and Duran's Doubletake Series, is a wild and amusing tale ala The Prince and the Pauper. Wise-cracking Samantha is practically the polar opposite of Presidential trivia expert Jayne, and therefore a good complement to her character as far as the story is concerned. Thrown together by chance, the two bicker like sisters as their respective predicaments escalate into danger, drawing the reader into an adventure that is definitely one of a kind.
