- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really like the way Lisa Jackson writes her stories, and I have enjoyed the partnership of Alvarez & Pescoli. By not reading any reviews beforehand, I preserved the fun of guessing the "who", "what', & "why." The H/H were likable and their attraction to each other was allowed to progress realistically (considering the high-suspense, plot-moving storyline). I do wish that Alvarez & Pescoli played bigger parts, but sense a 'build up' towards a bigger storyline for Alvarez in future books. Keeping that in mind, this book is a consistent entrant to the series, but I'm hoping the next story goes ka-boom!
In relation to the audio presentation, I admit to being a bit disappointed. There were numerous "voice overs" in the production, and the narrator's voice was so different, these became particularly noticeable. Not enough care was taken to match the reader's pitch, cadence, and volume of his re-do to his original recording. Not typical for a Recorded Books production. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In born to die, a serial killer up's the anty at christmas time by going after his female half siblings that his father's donations to a sperm bank during his college years created as well as a daughter created by a mistress 35 years before. The daughter A doctor, seeks out the truth after relizing she might be in the sights of the serial killer because she looks just like other victims who all have earily similiar features! det. Alvarez and Pescoli are not far behind the doctor in tracking the killer but while Trace a cowboy that falls for the doctor, who looks like his ex wife and the ex-GF as well, trys to protect his newfound love from the serial killer hellbent on killing off the female lineage from his fathers side.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A "look-alike" killer targeting women who share the same characteristics. The detectives are essentially tangential to the main plot, as they do not initially believe the reporting. It's the woman who looks like the victims who essentially solves the case.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed the story line. Although I had some difficulty following it at first, once I got further into it, I started getting the idea. I felt that the ending was sudden. I would have liked a little more detail and closure.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The first portion of this book is a struggle to get through; it is choppy and confusing. The confusion eases a bit once you get into the middle of the novel and then returns in the last few chapters. The story is a great concept but wasn't implemented in the best fashion. I think that Lisa Jackson had an idea and just got too swept up with details, losing track of what was truly important.
When an actress dies, Kacey's world is forever changed. Suddenly she realizes that she looks a lot like women that are suddenly dying. She becomes determined in figuring out the mystery of what connects her to these women and what is happening.
