★☆☆☆☆
Ridiculous premise and way too long
The story we are supposed to believe here (SPOILER) is that a woman can take the place of a nearly identical victim and fool her close friends and housemates of a few years. Even if Cassie were Lexie's biological identical twin (she's not) how would she fool Lexi's friends? My bigger problem with the book is the author's flowery prose style. French really needs to edit her work and eliminate the 'bits that readers skip.' Her style seems unsuited to the crime genre, which generally favors terse writing with a lot of action. You'll find neither here. I've read the first two books in the series, and I've had it with the author. Not my cup of tea.
