The review of this Book prepared by Tracey Ray




Identical twins switch places for an evening, as a prank. Later that evening, one of them is murdered - Gillian. The story is about the search for her killer by her twin, Melina, and the man Gillian had just met and spent the evening with. Interesting plot twists (some obvious and others not).
