Step back in time

This is a well crafted mystery that takes the reader into the deep south in late 1969. This a period when the United States was going through the turmoil of the Civil Rights movement as well as the early stages of the Vietnam War. But the story goes back even earlier to the time we entered WW II after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The small town of Addison, Georgia has something to hide and they are willing to over look a murder to keep its secret. It all comes together through the eyes of Ramona, a young woman in an abusive relationship, a girl trapped in the middle of a mystery she doesn't seem to understand. She decides to do something about it and we are soon discovering the secrets of nearly everyone in Addison. Kind of a Southern Payton Place, but the characters have more to hide than who they are sleeping with. The characters are so well developed, I felt like I was living with them as the story unfolded. Double Shock is a fast-paced step back in time and an enjoyable read.

good read

This was a free read from Amazon. I like this author. Her mechanics of good writing are fine. There is no lag time and no verbosity. The book`s climax came first. She killed her husband by electrocution plain as day yet the a

uthorities deemed it an accident. Why? Did she do the town a favor? Or was there something more sinister going on? Was there another shock about to unfold?

Thank you, Ms. Holloway, for sharing your talent.

Decent, but not quite good read.

I don't know...it had real potential. I think the characters could have been a bit more developed. And the "romance"...well, it was rather rushed. Now I can't remember if I'm talking about the book, or my life.

Poorly written.

The book started out with great promise. There is a murder, and you know who did it, so now you want to read on to find out if she got away with it. Unfortunately, the author stopped dead in the narrative to give every character's back story! While this information MIGHT have been necessary, it should have been worked in much later in the book. I'm not sure where all these good reviews came from because this read like an unedited first attempt by an untrained writer in creating a mystery novel.

Not Same Old Plots

I don't usually write book reviews I would rather read them and since I usually read at least one a day they get pretty predictable. But this book wasn't.
