Publisher's summary

Returning home from a trip to Paris, Boston medical examiner Maura Isles confronts a nightmarish scene. Police cruisers line her street and slumped in a car at the end of Maura's driveway is a dead woman, her head bloodied by a gunshot wound. Cops and neighbors gape at her as she approaches. Only when Maura looks at the victim does she understand why everyone is so shocked by her arrival. The dead woman looks exactly like Maura. Within a week, the DNA lab delivers a stunning verdict: the dead woman is Maura's twin. A twin she never knew she had. Detective Jane Rizzoli, now eight months pregnant, tackles the case as chief investigator. But for Maura, this murder is far more personal and frightening.

Critic reviews

• Romantic Times Award Winner - Best Contemporary Mystery, 2004

"An electric series of startling twists, the revelation of ghoulishly practical motives and a nail-biting finale make this Gerritsen's best to date. (Publishers Weekly)

Another great book

What made the experience of listening to Body Double the most enjoyable?

The suspence right off the bat.. wow. The story line was great.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. It was that good

bad narration

Narration on this book, and the previous books are sub-par at best. Change narrators,

awesome

I loved the twrilling circles suspense my only complaint if your not from Boston u can't talk like one. I talk boston and cringed every time Rizzoli spoke.

Narrator

I didn’t like the narration of this book. Her accent for Rizzoli was off. It sounded to me,She kept pronouncing Rizzoli wrong. Dr. Isles sounded like a twenty something not a forty year old. Also there weren’t any emotions in her voice during reading at points where you’ll expect it.

RIT-ZOLI

It was really difficult for me to get through this book because of the narrator. I don't recall seeing the letter T in Rizzoli. Everytime she said RIT-ZOLI I wanted to scream. The overall story was good. I was entertained during my 90 minute commute.

Confounding Mystery

Dr. Maura Isles is a staple of Tess Gerritsen's writing, and in this tale, a body is found outside Maura's house, murdered. It is Maura. Except when Maura comes home, and the truth comes out: this isn't Maura, it's a twin sister she never knew she had.

But was Maura the target? And why was her sister trying to find her?

Dark and well paced, this book explores Maura's mostly unknown past up to this point, and has a well written delve into a very disturbed psychology or two. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers, this one definitely delivers, as Gerritsen usually does.

Great book!

This is the 3rd book I've listened to of hers and this one was the best. It kept me on edge and looking over my shoulder.

Intriguing

I truly enjoyed this audiobook. I finished it in two days. I found it interesting and well written. The characters were woven together skillfully. I will definitely be reading more from this author!

Loved it

Riveting and thrilling story. Excellent, easy to listen to narration. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.
