On the eve of the biggest art event at Huckleberry Mountain Resort, potter Shandra Higheagle finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation. She’s ruled out as a suspect but now it’s up to her to prove the friend she witnessed fleeing the scene was just as innocent. With help from her recently deceased Nez Perce grandmother, Shandra becomes more confused than ever but just as determined to discover the truth. Detective Ryan Greer prides himself on solving crimes and refuses to ignore a single clue, including Shandra Higheagle’s visions. While Shandra is hesitant to trust her dreams, Ryan believes in them and believes in her. Can the pair uncover enough clues for Ryan to make an arrest before one of them becomes the next victim?

    Shandra receives a call from one of the Gallery owners wanting to speak with Shadra about her pottery pieces for the upcoming art event. When Shandra arrives at the Gallery she unexpectedly stumbles on a murder scene. She is found at the scene and immediately handcuffed by an eager rookie office. Once Detective Ryan arrives he knows that Shandra is not the murderer as she has no blood on her hands or clothes. Shandra keeps showing up in Ryans investigation so he decides to allow her to help him in a limited capacity. There is instant chemistry between these two.

    I really liked this book, I have read several other books in this series prior to reading this first book. I really enjoyed seeing how Shandra and Ryan originally met. I love the characters; my favorite being Shandra. She is a strong female lead who is very in touch with her artistic side and is learning to embrace her Native American Heritage. The descriptions of the setting are well done, you can really picture everything as if you are there. The mystery has a great pace with several twists and turns and suspects along the way. I was very surprised at the end who the actual killer is. There is something for everyone offered in this book… romance, paranormal, suspense, animals, female leads, small-town charm, and Native American Heritage. I recommend this book to all mystery lovers.

    Shandra Higheagle, a part-Nez Pierce Indian, becomes a suspect in a murder when an overeager cop finds her at the scene of a gallery owner’s murder. Shandra, a potter, had gone to the gallery to drop off a pot at the gallery owner’s request. She gets ruled out as a suspect, but a friend is next in line and Shandra can’t stop herself from helping the friend.

    This book has some mysticism to it – Shandra’s recently-deceased Nez Pierce grandmother keeps appearing to her in dreams, guiding her to help solve the crime. I was fascinated by Shandra trying to walk in two worlds. She struggles with accepting herself because her mother and stepfather made her hide her Indian heritage. The cop on the case, Ryan Greer, puts more faith in her visions than she does. When Shandra starts having dreams about Ryan, the tension ratchets up and the race is on to find the true killer.

    This started to fall a little more on the “romance-dressed-up-as-mystery” side for me, but the plot was interesting enough, and the characters likable and engaging, so I continued to read. I’m glad I did. This was an easy, entertaining read, and I’m glad to see I have at least three more books to go in this series.

    I found the story to be reasonably engaging, and the writing is better than the majority of books to be found on Amazon. That being said, it isn't a great book. It is refreshing to find a story of a slowly developing romance, rather than the trashy garbage most writers seem inclined to push off as romantic. One complaint I have is with the unrealistic portayal of the female character. She was annoying, not remotely likeable, foolishly stupid and careless, yet arrogant and bold. That seems to be how many women authors choose to portray women, these days. It is ridiculous. For that reason, I can't give more than three stars. I would have given two and a half, were that option given.

    I’ve been reading mysteries for so long, that it’s a rare thing when an author can confuse me so much that I don’t know who did it. But Paty Jager did in this one.

    The story line was well thought out and well written. And I just love the characters. Shandra Higheagle is an interesting, complex woman who is made a good life for herself. Ryan Greer also has a complex past and present. I really enjoyed the way they worked off of each other and get to know each other. Their chemistry is so great that I know the relationship between these two is going to work out well.

    I can highly recommend Double Duplicity. This is one of those books that kept me up all night reading to the very end. It’s definitely going on my list of books to save and reread, and few books make it to that list now days. I’m headed off to find the rest of the books in the series.

    Sandra is a potter . Her grandmother Ella once told her she had the sight. Sandra was raised by her mother and stepfather. Her father was a Native American rodeo participant with the barrel and other skills. Sandra being half Native American had grown up with the stigma fostered by her mother and stepfather. Grandmother Ella took her during her rebellious period and tried to be the voice she needed to guide her. After her death, Sandra used her artistic ability to fashion her pots, the inner vision she used to design the patterns seemed normal but her mother and others turned her away from whole history. An art dealer is murdered before a big show, Sandra caught on the scene as she made the discovery becomes one of several suspects. A drug agent helps confirm the fact that the art dealer had skeletons in her closet. How were the suspects connected and why. This was a free book to read and review. I have no connection to anything involved. This was an interesting cozy mystery to start the series.
