Case of the Deadly Doppleganger

by Lucy Banks

When you work at an establishment for an extended period, your fellow employees become to feel like a family to you.  For Kester Lanner his fellow employees at the supernatural agency are the closest to family he has, not to mention his boss is his newly discovered father, Dr. Ribero.  And, like many families, they bicker and pick on one another relentlessly but will defend each other if an outsider decides to pick on one of their own.  As it happens, when several elderly citizens of Lyme Regis die under questionable circumstances, they must partner with their rival supernatural agency run by Dr. Ribero’s nemesis, Larry Higgins, and their patience and fortitude will be tested.

This is the second installment of Dr. Ribero’s Supernatural Agency and can stand on its own.  The series is unusual and stands out from other mysteries with its paranormal storylines.  Banks characters are completely human, flawed and could be anyone you bump into on the street. The stories are interesting and engaging and the characters compliment the story.  The descriptions of the surrounding locale are well defined, and you feel the damp and smell the musty air.  I would give this to older teens looking for something different as they will be able to relate to the insecurities felt by Kester and his eagerness to please his peers.

I wish to thank the generosity of the publisher and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader’s Copy for my honest review.
