Dialog from the teacher

Ridiculous storyline with implausible characters. Inconsistencies drove me crazy. One woman dies because she sleeps with a man she just met, yet her twin is a worthy substitute although she is obviously more promiscuous. One minute, the main character will stop at nothing to get answers, the next she is glad her sister's body was cremated so the police can't investigate further. But what made me cringe was when the characters spoke like teachers in case the reader wasn't following along. How often do you hear someone say "In summary..." in a normal conversation?

Confusing

It's hard to relate to the twins. Without giving away the ending, it's difficult to relate to them when they aren't who they are----well, you'll see what I mean when you get to the end.

Wonderful to have the unabridged version

I must have listened to the abridged version in the past, but I had only the barest memory of the plot. I prefer this unabridged version - couldn't stop listening.

It says the headline is optional

I only couldn't get into the narrator (woman) doing Chiefs voice. Made it not seem real. Hard to picture this big handsome guy. And audible?..to have to write so many words on a review is very annoying.

Ok - not great - a little predictable

This story started out pretty good - kept my attention but toward the end, nothing surprising.

it was interesting

I'm a big fan of Sandra Brown but I feel like maybe this was one of her earlier novels. It was good but not excellent like normal
