Product Description
This book is sassy, smart, and full of suspense from the “New York Times” bestselling leader of “Look Again”. Unbeknownst to her identical twin Bennie Rosato, Alice Connelly is on the run from her drug-dealing confederates who are trying to kill her. Alice sees only one way out – to become Bennie. She slips a drug into her drink, and usurps her life. Not only does she sleep with her boyfriend, impersonate her at work – and steal her money, but she also warns the police that her evil twin is out to get her. Her plot works perfectly, because when Bennie emerges to fight back, everyone thinks she’s Alice – including the police. Meanwhile, Mary DiNunzio, distracted by personal problems is also duped by Alice. The pleased DiNunzio home is disrupted by the arrival of a sexy and mysterious cousin who claims to be a witch – and manages to place Mary’s father under her spell! Bennie, with everything at stake, is fighting for her life – on all levels. She’s reached breaking point. But when the chips are finally down, what will she do? Is blood thicker than water, and can an ordinary, law-abiding woman be driven to evil?

Very convoluted tale but appealing and entertaining. I was just glad there was a name who “just knew” something was incorrect. Bennie has never been a people person and it was nice to see a few baby steps in the additional direction.

In yet another thriller from Lisa Scottoline, the tension mounts as attorney Bennie Rosato finds herself drugged and left to die by her evil twin sister Alice Connolly, who has assumed Bennie’s identity in an attempt to empty Bennie’s bank accounts and flee the country before a certain drug dealer she crossed can find her. The twists and turns in the plot, as Bennie is forced to act more and more like Alice in an attempt to regain her own identity, will keep you at the edge of your seat, unable to place down this book until you’ve finished it. Lisa Scottoline fans will applaud this latest heart-pounding mystery, watching their heroine extricate herself from danger after danger.

Reviewer: Mark Lamendola, leader of over 6,000 articles.
Normally, I listen to Lisa Scottoline novels in audio format. The narrators do a fantastic job with persons Italian accents. I grew up with Italian accents, capice? This was my first time with one of these novels in paper format.
It’s hard to judge the leader of this book is the leader of the others. There are two glaring reasons why:
1. The plot strains credulity at many points. It’s just not believable. A reader can overlook one, maybe two instances of implausible plot twist. But this book seemed to answer on persons, and that’s just not levelheaded writing. This book is not at Lisa Scottoline’s previous level of writing.
2. The character Bennie Rosato that I’ve come to know is not the Bennie Rosato in this book. It’s not that the character grew or changed in response to a challenge, which we readers can find believable or even desirable. She’s a different character, and not one that seems to have a lot of sense. She appears to have been written for the convenience of the plot. I’d rather this relationship were the additional way around.
The plot isn’t plausible, but what is plausible is the leader was aware of how weak (or farcical) this novel was, so she used some gimmicks as a replacement for of relying on levelheaded writing.
For example, many chapters were only two pages long. There are 128 chapters in 371 pages. You read the first page of one chapter, and flip the page–you are looking at the next chapter. Pacing by chopping up the scenes into micro chunks strikes me as an act of desperation. It would have been better to focus on the actual writing. Fix the plot, and use the characters we have come to know so well. I’m not adage a character can’t ever change, but what we’re questioned to judge in this novel just isn’t believable.
A major implausibility is that Bennie’s twin sister could impersonate her and fool Bennie’s employees. These people are lawyers. They are highly educated people. They make their livings sorting through evidence and applying logic. Sure, one of the attorneys “thinks” there’s something incorrect but she can’t convince her coworkers to even provide a basic test. It’s hard to judge “whether to learn the facts” is even an issue. Especially considering the circumstances.
As a reader, I establish myself wincing but still wanting to go on. What saved this book wasn’t the use of micro-scenes. What saved it was the use of a few MacGuffins. I wanted to see how (or if) persons were resolved. So, while this book is not at the quality we’ve come to expect from a Lisa Scottoline novel, it’s still honestly entertaining.
And I do like a few things about the ending. These, the leader made plausible. It is the getting to that point that really needs to be rethought and re-done in a revised version that meets the standards Lisa Scottoline has previously written to.
If you’ve not read a Lisa Scottoline novel yet, don’t start with this one. It’s not her best work. Start with Moment of Truth, or maybe Lady Killer. After you gain an appreciation for this outstanding leader who usually does brilliant work, then you may want to pick up this book.
