From the blockbuster New York Times bestselling author of Look Again comes a novel that makes you question the nature of evil: is it born in us or is it bred? Bennie Rosato looks exactly like her identical twin, Alice Connolly, but the darkness in Alice's soul makes them two very different women. Or at least that's what Bennie believes, until she finds herself buried alive at the hands of her twin. Meanwhile, Alice takes over Bennie's life, impersonating her at work and even seducing her boyfriend in order to escape the deadly mess she has made of her own life. But Alice underestimates Bennie and the evil she has unleashed in her twin's psyche, as well as Bennie's determination to stay alive long enough to exact revenge. Bennie must face the twisted truth that she is more like her sister Alice than she could have ever imagined, and by the novel's shocking conclusion, Bennie finds herself engaged in a war she cannot win—with herself.

"I really liked Look Again and was excited to see this book come out. I was not a big fan of the ending. I also was not happy with how it all ended with Alice. I really like the characters and the writing in the book."
— Joyce (4 out of 5 stars)
“Van Dyck moves smoothly between the viewpoints of the opposing siblings, juggles the quick pacing of their contest of wit and wills, and emphasizes the story's wry humor.
— AudioFileReader Jennifer Van Dyck makes Alice come alive in all her nastiness, and we're glad the plot leaves room for a sequel.
— Winston Salem Journal" Writing was mediocre, story predictable. Only saving grace about this book was the heroine's conclusion at the end of the book that had people known her better they wouldn't have mistaken her twin for herself. Hmmmm... OK, so get out there and make friends. "
— Jan, 2/17/2014" Tense! Starts off fast! "
— Kathy, 2/10/2014" right up there with the best of scottoline. I kept thinking Grady was smarter tho... "

— Mary, 1/24/2014" A fast moving book that I read quickly. Very enjoyable. "
— Kay, 1/23/2014" This is the type of book that was perfect for me today. I needed a little story that doesn't need a lot of thinking. I got a winner. The plot isn't always perfect but it doesn't need to be. It has action in it. And if I get a bit fuzzy from my meds, it doesn't matter. All in all, Scottoline rarely disappoints me. "
— Lori, 1/22/2014" So ridiculous! "
— Bethany, 1/21/2014" I absolutely loved "Look Again" by Lisa Scottoline, so I wanted to try out some of her other books. With this one, I felt like I was reading a completely different author! It was way too far-fetched and unrealistic. I do not recommend! "

— Faith, 12/16/2013" Another good story for a long drive. I know it's fiction, but there were just too many things that happened that really could not happen. That bothers me! "
— Avary, 12/12/2013" I really enjoy the author's writing style and loved the concept of this novel, but it feel short towards the end. Overall a great read! "

— Claudia, 4/7/2011" This story didn't really add much to the main book, having read that first. Finished it on the train ride into the city. "
