The Switch

By: Sandra Brown

Narrated by: Jan Maxwell

It isn't the first time that identical twins Gillian and Melina Lloyd have switched identities. Melina, the more impetuous twin, proposes that her circumspect sister take her place as a media escort to NASA astronaut and national hero Colonel Christopher "Chief" Heart. Although it's an enticing offer, Gillian declines for a very personal reason. Besides, she warns Melina, such a switch could have unexpected consequences.

Media-savvy Chief turns out to be an easy assignment for Melina. But the following morning, police arrive at Melina's door with the worst possible news: her beloved twin has been murdered, and on the walls, scrawled in blood, are obscenities directed at Gillian, along with insults that indisputably link Chief to the crime.

Dissatisfied with the official police investigation, Chief and Melina form a grudging alliance. Striking out on their own, they uncover more questions than answers, and are eventually led to the threshold of an inner sanctum, where a megalomaniac lies in wait for Gillian's replacement, her identical twin: Melina.

A story that reveals the powerful, almost mystical bond between twins, a bond that compels a woman to go to impossible lengths to avenge her sister, The Switch defies every prediction.

Critic reviews

"A masterful storyteller, carefully crafting tales that keep readers on the edge of their seats." ( USA Today)
"Sandra Brown is back in rare form with a complex and exciting tale that plays straight to all her strengths. Romance, suspense and danger...dynamite reading." ( Romantic Times)

Story ok, naration snore

The narration on this story is half panicked and half emotionless. It’s very strange. It’s as though everything is a question or an emphatic statement. The story is ok but Im having a hard time following it. Not as great as Envy, which was fantastic, but ok.

Not Sandra Browns best work

This book was disappointing. Pretty unrealistic from start to finish. Narrator was tolerable but no voice changes for any of the characters. I won’t listen to it again.

Great book

Great book. Never lost interest. I did not figure it out till the end. I would listen to it again.

Great!

Such a great story, with a twist you never see coming. It grabs you right away and pulls you in.

This book need to be a movie...its oh so brilliant

Sandra you did a good job with this book I hasd it at home and one day I took it off the book shelf to read the very first time and to how the book grabbed me I took four day to read it
in my spare time...superb...

For fans of claptrap

I really enjoyed "Envy" so took a chance on this.
Cartoon characters and silly overblown improbable action of pure good vs pure evil for fans of this genre.

Not Sandra,s Best I was very disappointed. The plot was awful the story dull I do not recommend itthere is nothing more to say
