TWO HEADS ARE DEADER THAN ONE (The Eddie Shoes Mysteries) by Elena Hartwell
Book Two in the Eddie Shoes Mystery Series
Private Investigator Eddie Shoes is enjoying a rare period of calm. She’s less lonely now that Chava, her card-counting mom from Vegas, is sharing her home. She also has a new companion, Franklin, a giant dog of curious ancestry.
Hoping for a lucrative new case, Eddie instead finds herself taking on a less promising client: her best friend from her childhood in Spokane. Dakota has turned up in Bellingham, in jail, where she is being held on a weapons charge. Eddie reluctantly agrees not only to lend her friend money for bail but to also investigate who is stalking her.
Soon after Dakota is freed, she disappears again, leaving Eddie to answer to the local cops, including her ex-boyfriend Chance Parker. Has Dakota been kidnapped? If not, why did she jump bail? What are Eddie’s business cards doing on the bodies of two murder victims?
The key to these mysteries lies in Dakota and Eddie’s shared history, which ended when Eddie left home after high school. As a person of interest in both murder cases, Eddie is forced to go in search of the truth, digging into the past and facing her own demons.

MY THOUGHTS -
Another score for Elena Hartwell! This one was just as good as the first. Definitely left me wanting to read book three.
Continuing on with great characters (Eddie, Chava, and chance especially) and introducing a few new ones. Dakota, new character, old friend. Good news or bad news??? Read the book to find out!
This book got real intense the last third and I could not put it down. Not crazy unbelievable... crazy - lots of action. And, of course - a great ending that will blow your mind!
Eddie is becoming one of my favorite characters ever. I love her snarky sarcastic nature... so much like myself! Maybe that's why I connect with her. But most of all, Eddie is real! As not a hardcore mystery fan, I appreciate Eddie's humor and personality to keep me going. I also loved all the drama in this story. and there is a lot of drama! I am really enjoying the development of the mother/daughter relationship between Eddie and her mom - Chava, who just recently reappeared in Eddie's life.
To me, books should be enjoyable, fun to read. And that's exactly what this series is - fun!
OK, on to book three - Three Strikes, You're Dead!
- Thank You!!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed book 2.
