Resumen del Editor

Mirror Image, a complex, erotic novel of suspense, is the first in a series of mysteries featuring Dr. Daniel Rinaldi, a psychologist who consults with the Pittsburgh Police. His specialty is treating victims of violent crime, those who’ve survived an armed robbery or kidnapping but whose traumatic experience still haunts them.

Kevin Merrick, a college student and victim of an armed assault, is one of these people. A fragile, troubled kid desperate for a role model and a sense of identity, Kevin has begun dressing like Rinaldi, acting like him, mirroring his appearance. Before Daniel has a chance to work this through with his patient, he finds Kevin brutally murdered. Stunned, he and the police suspect that he, not Kevin, had been the intended target.

Feeling responsible, Rinaldi is determined to help find the killer, who’s begun leaving death threats for the psychologist. His journey takes him through a labyrinth of friends and colleagues, any one of whom may be the killer. It also includes an affair with a beautiful, free-spirited assistant district attorney with secrets of her own. And when Kevin’s identity as the estranged son of a Bill Gates-like biotech giant is revealed, the investigation of his murder turns into a national story, even as another person turns up dead.

A Poisoned Pen Press Mystery.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Palumbo infuses his fast-moving, suspenseful story with fascinating texture, interesting characters, and the twists, turns, and surprises of a mind-bending mystery. Very impressive.” (Stephen J. Cannell, New York Times bestselling author)

“A deviously plotted thriller with lots of shocks and surprises you won’t see coming.” (Thomas Perry, New York Times bestselling author)

Interesting Lead Character

Where does Mirror Image rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

A little better than average.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot had many twists, and the fact that the lead character was not a rock-em-sock-em heroic action figure made it more interesting.

What aspect of William Hughes’s performance would you have changed?

The voice was a bit too monotone.

Any additional comments?

There are few books set in Pittsburgh, so it was interesting to hear about the various neighborhoods.

Non Thriller

Like a soap opera, no real suspense. It's a who done what, where and how. oh well to the next one.
