It is said that everyone has an exact lookalike or a double
somewhere in the world. Most people do not find theirs, but
what would you do if you found yours?
That is the big question in this case of two young women who
suddenly are alerted to the existence of each other. Gia
Russo is a well-known wedding planner working in New York
City who happens to run into a woman who clearly believes
that Gia is someone named Danielle Murano. This woman is so
convinced that Gia is just playing games with her that she
shows Gia a photo on her phone of Danielle or Dani. Gia is
stunned. Except for a few cosmetic differences, Dani looks
exactly like Gia.
She convinces the woman that she is not Dani, but she gets
enough information to discover Dani's Facebook page. Dani
lives in Minneapolis where she works as a veterinarian. Gia
decides to message her, and the women make plans to meet
each other in person.
When it becomes clear that the women are in danger once Dani
travels to New York City, Gia turns to the team at Forensic
Instincts for help. She had only recently been the wedding
planner for one of the team members and she reaches out to him.
Even though they are in the middle of a stalking case, they
decide that Gia and Dani also truly need their help. As they
start digging deeper into the events surrounding the women,
it becomes even clearer that, for whatever reason, danger
does surround them.
There is one more huge twist, though, that no one sees
coming, making this one of the team's most challenging cases
ever.
Andrea Kane has been a long time favorite author for me as
she draws in her readers and makes them feel as if they are
a part of the story she is telling. A FACE TO DIE FOR is no
different. She does not waste time when diving right into
her plot, hooking me from the very first page.
Forensic Instincts is a team of private investigators that
Ms. Kane has created in this series of books. There are many
members of the team, therefore, there are many interesting
characters to meet. I found myself wanting to go to New York
City just to meet these highly specialized people.
You will find a few short romantic scenes in A FACE TO DIE
FOR, but this is not a "bodice ripper" as the plot focuses
more on the mysterious events that begin happening around
Gia and Dani. That did not take away from the book for me
because I tend to enjoy plots that offer plenty of suspense,
which this one does. In fact, A FACE TO DIE FOR is a rather
"clean" book so if you prefer that in your plots, those
romantic scenes will not get in the way while the mystery
will continue to hold you as a captive audience.
A FACE TO DIE FOR seems to have "movie" or "television
series" all over it as it is part of a standalone series.
You do not have to read each book in the Forensic Instincts
series to understand what is happening. On the other hand,
once you start reading A FACE TO DIE FOR, you are going to
want more.
Packed with plenty of mystery and suspense, A FACE TO DIE
FOR is the perfect book to curl up with by the fire on a
dark, fall day, but you will probably want to keep the
lights on!
ACCORDING TO URBAN LEGEND, EVERYONE HAS A DOUBLE, OR EXACT
LOOK-ALIKE. WOULD YOU SEARCH FOR YOURS? AND IF YOU FOUND
THEM, WOULD YOU RISK YOUR LIFE FOR THEIRS?
When a case of mistaken identity in Manhattan results in Gia
Russo seeing a photo of a Minneapolis woman who looks
exactly like her, she can’t resist reaching out to the
mysterious stranger. Their Facebook private message exchange
blossoms into a budding, long-distance friendship, and the
two women agree to meet in New York and gauge the truth with
their own eyes.
Shocked at the sight of one another, Gia and Danielle
quickly bond over drinks, childhood pictures, and an uncanny
feeling that they share more than just a visual resemblance.
But when they decide to end the speculation and undergo DNA
testing, the test’s confirmation that they’re identical
twins raises more questions than answers.
And with good reason. The same mysterious forces that
separated the sisters years ago are still at large,
desperate to keep the two women apart. When the danger
surrounding their reunion escalates and the sisters fear for
their lives, Gia turns to an investigator whose wedding she
just planned, Marc Devereraux of Forensic Instincts.
Despite being embroiled in another case, Forensic Instincts
can’t turn the panicked twins away and agrees to help. But
as the team digs up skeletons long since buried, they
unearth the shocking truth about who is willing to destroy
the sisters and the families they have grown to love in
order to save themselves.
