Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
With her sequence of novels about the Philadelphia law firm headed by defence lawyer Bennie Rosato, Lisa Scottoline has distinguished herself with suspenseful, violent action and sharp, intelligent courtroom scenes. Mistaken Idenitity sets the seal on that reputation. Bennie has always known that there was some mystery about her father--of whom she knows nothing but his name--and her dying mother is unable to tell her anything. That is until she takes the case of her life.
Summoned to prison by a woman on a capital charge of murder, Bennie discovers that she has a twin sister, Alice Connolly. Unless she can outwit a powerful conspiracy among police and prosecution, her sister will be found guilty and executed. What's more, Bennie isn't entirely convinced that she's her sister or that she's innocent of (among other things) murdering her policeman lover. If that isn't enough, killers draw in on both sisters. Scottoline evokes the moral dilemmas of the defence lawyer, the hothouse violence of a women's prison and the intellectual excitement of putting together a defence from scratch. --Roz Kaveney --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Having only discovered Lisa Scottoline in 2000, this book was one of many to to be grabbed from the shelves this year.
As with other series, it is satisfying to get to know in greater depth a set of characters, Bennie, Judy and Mary in particular. As ever, the books are full of strong female roles, further emphasised by Mary's fears and worries about underachiveing (see also 'Everywhere that Mary Went').
The theme of the book is around family secrets and twins separated at birth. The 'is she, isn't she my twin?' question that Bennie suffers builds very well to the shocking climax. The courtroom scenes are also well-paced and credible, dealing with legal corruption at the same time as fighting to save an alleged murderer.
