Synopsis (Goodreads):
A visit to an open house brings Stormy Day into the center of a troubling murder.

The local police aren’t lacking for suspects. The victim, Realtor Michael Sweet, was a bully who made countless enemies over his years in Misty Falls.

The problem for Stormy is that the most likely suspects are friends of hers. A couple of them couldn’t look more guilty if they tried. Helping the police to crack this case may break Stormy’s heart.

Worse, if she trusts the wrong person, Stormy’s heart may have bigger problems. Like getting stabbed a whole bunch of times!
Thoughts on Death of a Double Dipper: Stormy certainly has a knack for falling into deadly investigations. And by that, I mean the investigations both involve the death of someone and potentially her own death as she uncovers who the killer is.

Fortunately, she inherited the good investigating gene from her pops and knows how to follow clues until she reaches the end of the line. Also fortunately, she has a knack for slithering out of trouble (due in large part to her close ties to the local PD, perhaps?) and getting people to reveal things they might not have otherwise revealed.

This time around, Stormy's trying to figure out who killed someone she knew from high school and which of her long-time acquaintances might be capable of ending someone the way he was ended. To be fair, she does (at least nominally) try to stay out of the investigation, but she just kept getting pulled in.

That's what happens when you have a reputation from sleuthing (or just being nosy) and the drive to see justice being served.

A solid ending to Stormy's adventures. Although, I personally believe she's still inserting her investigating skills anywhere and everywhere they're needed. Because that's just the type of person Stormy is. *thumbs up*
