Publisher Description

“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.
