Publisher Description

Boston medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles literally meets her match–and must face a savage serial killer and shattering personal revelations–in the brilliant new novel of suspense by the New York Times bestselling author of The Surgeon and The Sinner. Dr. Maura Isles makes her living dealing with death. As a pathologist in a major metropolitan city, she has seen more than her share of corpses every day–many of them victims of violent murder. But never before has her blood run cold, and never has the grim expression “dead ringer” rung so terrifyingly true. Because never before has the lifeless body on the medical examiner’s table been her own. Yet there can be no denying the mind-reeling evidence before her shocked eyes and those of her colleagues, including Detective Jane Rizzoli: the woman found shot to death outside Maura’s home is the mirror image of Maura, down to the most intimate physical nuances. Even more chilling is the discovery that they share the same birth date and blood type. For the stunned Maura, an only child, there can be just one explanation. And when a DNA test confirms that Maura’s mysterious doppelgänger is in fact her twin sister, an already bizarre murder investigation becomes a disturbing and dangerous excursion into a past full of dark secrets. Searching for answers, Maura is drawn to a seaside town in Maine where other horrifying surprises await. But perhaps more frightening, an unknown murderer is at large on a cross-country killing spree. To stop the massacre and uncover the twisted truth about her own roots, Maura must probe her first living subject: the mother that she never knew . . . an icy and cunning woman who could be responsible for giving Maura life–and who just may have a plan to take it away.

"I thoroughly enjoy the momentum of Gerritsen's writing. Dr Maura Isles returns from Paris to find a dead woman in a car outside her house. The event is not surreal, but the woman seems to be a mirror image of Dr Isles. What follows this amazing coincidence is Maura's discovery of a twin sister, and a path to their biological mother. Gerritsen presents two stories running in tandem, with little connecting the narratives. A heavily pregnant Jane Rizzoli attempts to protect Maura from the villains and the awful truth. Maura 's mind wanders to thought of love, but with unattainable men. The story ends with that infamous discussion of nature versus nurture."

    " This is more like 3.5 stars. This is definitely the best book so far! I really liked getting to know about Maura and her family. The storyline was pretty creepy. I still saw parts of that coming but I definitely enjoyed watching the story unfold. And these are great audiobooks! I will definitely be continuing this series! "

    " This fast-paced novel if full of mystery and suspense. Maura takes on a leading role in this novel when a woman is found shot to death outside of her home. The real shocker is that the dead woman looks exactly like her. Follow Maura through her family history and try to figure out how this happened. One more novel from Tess to keep you on the edge of your seat! "

    " I think this was the best one yet. Improbable scenarios, but so well done. I just feel that Maura is so lonely she falls for every guy that gives her any atention. Sad, but it happens so offen, we see it a lot and sometime even I find myself almost letting that happen. Sad but truthfull. "

    " My favorite so far. Maura is front and center in this story. She discovers LOTS about her backgroud. She knew she was adopted but it was fun finding out about her evil family at the same time she did. Rizzoli is so cute as a very preggers detective. I'm loving these series. "

    " This was probably 3.5 star book. Absolutely kept my attention, although it was somewhat predictable at points. I did not guess the murderer though. Not too gory for a murder mystery either. Great change of pace from lots of science fiction! "
