| The irrepressible twins are back, as Bert and Nan find a dark double meaning in "a killer day at work". The intrepid pair are tracking a culprit who killed Bert's boss.

| Industry reviews | |
| Identical twins Bertrice "Bert" and Nan find double trouble when Nan "fills in" for Bert at work on Saturday. Nan glimpses an apparent robber, but police naturally ask Bert to identify the man in a line-up. When both twins investigate the subsequent murder of Bert's duplicitous boss, a successful female divorce attorney, they receive vicious threats. The use of twins as alternating narrators, the humorous differences in their attitudes, and the police detective boyfriend they seem to have in common should keep reader interest high. From the twin authors of Double Exposure (Kensington, 1997). Kakutani Twin authors McCafferty and Taylor are clearly not worried that the well of their well-worn trick will run dry. The third installment in their breezy series (after Double Exposure and Double Murder) featuring the twin amateur detecting duo of Nan and Bert Tatum leaves no opportunity for doubletalk unexploited. Named for the Bobbsey twins, the Tatum sisters once again use their identical looks to solve murder. Bert, secretary to overbearing attorney Stephanie Whitman, asks Nan, a radio deejay, to fill in so she can attend a job interview. The reluctant Nan literally runs into a man fleeing after he has apparently broken into the law office. When Stephanie is later found murdered, police suspect the two incidents are related. Knowing that Stephanie had been a successful divorce attorney who extracted huge settlements from adulterous husbands, Nan and Bert are surprised to discover taped conversations in which Stephanie propositions these same men, clearly a set-up that provides an apparent motive for murder. McCafferty and Herald alternate using Nan and Bert as first-person narrators, which can be a bit confusing, but the prose is airy and entertaining. A subplot in which Bert agonizes over her relationship with Detective Hank Goetzmann, formerly Nan's boyfriend, further tightens the sisters' bonds of intimacy and heaps on another helping of cuteness.
