DOUBLE TAKE
Book Two in the series!
When a young journalist goes missing in sunny San Diego, P.I. Madison Kelly learns the price of knowing too much.
It’s a perfect San Diego fall—cool and crisp with bright blue skies. But not everything is right in the sunny idyll dubbed “America’s Finest City.” Young journalist Barrett Brown has been missing for a week, and her boyfriend hires private investigator Madison Kelly to find her. Right away, Barrett reminds Madison of a younger version of herself: smart, ambitious, and a loner.
As she launches her investigation, Madison realizes that Barrett’s disappearance is connected to a big story she was chasing–and she sets out to walk in Barrett’s footsteps to trace her whereabouts.
As the trail gets warmer, Barrett's boyfriend warms up to Madison—a little too much. He doesn't seem to be telling everything he knows. Madison then gets the feeling that her every move is being watched. What deadly secrets lie at the heart of Barrett's big lead? And will Madison survive the discovery of them?
If Madison can’t get to the bottom of the case in time, she could be in line to become the next victim.
Edgar nominee!
So fitting that Double Take was nominated for the Sue Grafton Memorial Award at the 76th Annual Edgar Awards.
Elizabeth Breck is a licensed Private Investigator, specializing in Insurance Fraud, making her the real-life incarnation of Kinsey Millhone, Sue Grafton's famous heroine.
What an honor!

“In the deftly crafted Double Take, Elizabeth Breck creates not only a gripping, layered mystery that pulls you in from page one, but also an endlessly fascinating character in Madison Kelly.

And the cherry on the top is a gorgeous setting that makes you want to read this book on a La Jolla beach as surfers catch waves in the distance. Readers will be eager to see more of Madison in the future.”
