“A humdinger”
—USA Today
“Ratcheting suspense, dynamic characters, and a master’s touch”
—David Baldacci, New York Times bestselling author of The Sixth Man
With the spellbinding crime fiction masterwork, Mistaken Identity, Lisa Scottoline rocketed onto the New York Times bestseller list—and she’s remained there ever since! A stunning tale of mystery and suspense, this classic from the beloved, Edgar® Award-winning author once again leads readers down the gritty streets of Philadelphia and into the offices of the law firm of Rosato & Associates. When a new client who’s been accused of murder—and who bears an astonishing resemblance to Bennie Rosato—asks the crusading criminal defense attorney to take her case, Bennie finds herself entangled in a sticky web of murder, corruption, and violence that threatens to reveal the shocking truth about her own past. If you haven’t read Lisa Scottoline before, Mistaken Identity will prove to you what her many fans already know: nobody does it better!

"I find if I sit down to read and three hours go by in an instant, it's a good book. I particularly enjoyed the trial. The dialogue was so engrossing to read that I felt like I was in the courtroom but also inside Bennie's head to understand what she was doing. Can't wait to read another one. "

Quotes
-
“Narrator Kate Burton grabs the listener by the throat and won’t let go…Burton is an old hand at narrating crime and legal thrillers, and her talent shows. She brings the characters to life, catching listeners up in the whirlwind of excitement involving corrupt Philadelphia cops, suspicious judges and prosecutors, and an evil client. Much of the enjoyment of the audiobook comes with the gruff Rosato’s realization that details of her own past have become questionable.

" Ambition, police corruption, danger, relationships - this book had it all! Really good read. The ending left me with a few questions; but, that was refreshing at the same time. "
— Vicki, 2/18/2014 -
" Interesting plot, but the execution was sub par. Still, I'd try another book from this author. "
— Julianne, 2/16/2014 -
" I liked the book--expected a different ending. "
— Tracy, 2/14/2014 -
" Always enjoy Lisa Scottoline, but thought this one was just OK. However, since it was a precursor to "Think Twice", which I had listened to recently, it helped flesh out the latter story. "
— Julie, 1/26/2014 -
" A good legal thriller. I really liked the ending. I didn't see it coming. "
— Lori, 1/23/2014 -
" If you are offended by colorful language this is not the book for you. Well developed story line with a enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. I'll read more Scottoline books. "

" read this before...not sure when. "
— Joanne, 8/15/2013 -
" This is another solid crime/mystery novel from Scottoline. It was pretty long but I never felt that way when I was reading. I felt like I had a couple of questions at the end of the novel, but definitely didn't see the ending coming. It kept me on my toes and entertained me. "

" Just another Lawyers and crime novel nothing special "
— Todd, 9/8/2011 -
" This was a fast moving book- it did not waste anytime setting up the story but the intrigue started right away. It was an easy read and the suspense kept me hooked. Beware, it's full of rough language, but an enjoyable, easy summer read. "
— Andrea, 7/4/2011 -
" While I enjoy the plot, characters, setting etc. of Scotteline's books, I feel most intrigued by her exploration of corruption in some Philly police officers, since I've seen the results of that corruption - truly 'A Thin Blue Line' . . . "
