--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Book Description
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 plan 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 happy DiNunzio home is disrupted by the arrival of a sexy and mysterious cousin who claims to be a witch - and manages to put 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?

Luckily, I got my copy from the library or I would have been really disappointed! I've read some glowing reports about the book but really, I can't agree with James Patterson's assertion that this is possibly Lisa's best work (but then, I don't like his books so perhaps that tells me something?!)
The start of the story goes well enough but apart from the use of short, cliff-hanger chapters, Ms Scottoline appears to have been half-hearted in her writing. It never quite hits the spot - a lot of it is clumsy and predictable and, except perhaps for the beginning of the story, her action scenes are a bit of a let down.
The character of Mary D'Nunzio drove me mad!! And as for Mary's 'psychic' aunt, Floreala, well for goodness sake!! But at least I felt something, so that's a plus.
If the same story had been written by CJ Carver or Greg Hurwitz for instance, then I'm certain they'd have handled the action in a different and more believable way.
But as someone else said, the book was readable and as long as you don't expect Ms Scottoline's usual kind of story, then you may even enjoy this.
But I can't give it more than 2 stars. Sorry!

I really enjoy this series with the girls at the law firm and look forward to each new instalment. However I was a bit surprised at this latest book as it is quite different to the other books in this series up to now. Bennie Rosato is drugged by her `evil' identical twin sister Alice and then buried alive in a box, certainly doomed to die, however Bennie manages to escape only to find that Alice is impersonating her, even at work, and is so good at this that everyone thinks she is really Bennie and when Bennie shows up, tattered and bruised, everyone thinks she is crazy Alice. Meanwhile Alice is trying to get all of Bennie's money transferred into her account to escape from her old life.
This book is really action packed, if it was a movie it would be an action movie with guns, drugs, explosions etc., but I was struggling a bit with it. I was mostly taken aback by how different the style of this book is - usually the books are about court cases and this is what I was looking forward to here. I also found the plot just a little far-fetched. Having said that, full marks to the author for trying something a bit different and coming up with a new angle in the series, it's just not what I was looking for. I still give it four stars though as there are a few sub-plots involving Mary DiNunzio and her family, which kept me entertained.

Although I have enjoyed other books by Lisa Scottoline I found this one rather predictable in its outcome.However, it was a decent holiday read which didn't need too much attention spent on it and could be picked up or put down as necessary.
