review 1: Another electrifying read from my new favourite author. Weird things are happening to Annie first she finds her husband has been having an affair charging romantic gestures to their joint credit cards and receiving lust fuelled emails from the mysterious LovyLuv when he fails to own upto it Annie leaves him and goes to live with her twin sister Julie whist she sorts out a new job and place to live of her own. Disaster strikes when Annie arrives to find the local cleaning lady murdered outside Julie's home. Julie and Annie have always been close and Annie is enjoying spending some quality time with her twin even if she is a little bossy! Julie who can't have children of her own dotes on Annie's baby Lexy even convincing Annie to change her from breast milk to formula. Thing... mores get even weirder though when there is a break in at the house and the only thing stolen is Annie's wallet. Julie manages to convince her sister it was a malfunctioning alarm and that she must have left her purse somewhere she then encourages Annie to go to her job interview in New York using her car, driving licence and credit card and Julie will stay behind and look after Lexie using Annie's hire car and new licence when it comes. Everything seems fine until Annie is arrested for grand larceny and finds out her identity has been stolen even worse her baby has disappeared along with her sister and nobody knows where they could have gone. Eager for a reconciliation estranged husband bobby rushed to her putting their house up as the collateral for her bail bond. After a furious search Julie and the baby are located and everything seems ok until Annie is arrested again this time for the murder of the cleaner outside Julie's house knowing now that it was Julie who stole her identity Annie, Bobby and the lawyer fight to prove that Julie also committed the murder finally Annie is cleared of the charges and released. Julie is captured in Italy and brought back to the USA to face the charges. Settling back into life Annie is pregnant again and feeling like everything has fallen back into place until she makes a terrible discovery...
review 2: I need to read another before I formulate an opinion about her as an author for def but this one was a perfectly enjoyable little mystery. You know by like page 40 who the murderer is but the piecing together of elements is engaging enough that you're not like OH FOR HEAVENS SAKES I KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS AND IT'S ONLY PAGE GD 40. I am super judgy about books when I feel like the author feels like a sniffy snoot and super generous about them when I feel like the author is just like "oh hey check it out I am writin a book! I like books do you!" which obviously is not based on anything more than my own sniffy snooty particular judgyness and has nothing to do with the actual authors, whom actually I obviously know jack about, but this lady feels like a oh-hey-look-i-like-books kind of lady, so I am down. less

A good read with the suspense I have come to expect from this author.

Smooth to read. But the plot, which started nice, ends up weak.

I didn't enjoy this as much as her other novels.
