Book Review By Marjaree Stapperfenne
Deadly Duplicates by Margaret LeNois

The Price sisters, Doreen and Deborah, were conjoined twins who were separated at birth. They are twenty-four years old, beautiful, and sensuous. From an outsider's point of view, it looks as though they are leading happy, content lives. Debbie is an expectant mother, married to a cop, and living in Florida. Doreen is single and works as a nurse in a New Jersey hospital. However, all is not well with Doreen. Behind her pretty facade lurks a violent murderer. Doreen's actions have a direct and dangerous impact on Debbie.

In New Jersey, quite a few doctors from the Metropolitan Hospital are being brutally murdered. Flagler County, Florida is witnessing a series of random murders and cannot make any connections among the victims. Police officers, Dave Selton and Joe Sterling, leave no stone unturned while searching for clues to the baffling murders. As the body count rises, they are under pressure to bring the perpetrator to justice before more lives are lost. Can the police connect the murders to the Price twins, the most unlikely suspects?
