I'm
afraid I came a little late to this party. I've just discovered I've read #5
and now #7 (this one) in a series. I hate doing that! Sometimes you never read
anything that'll give the game away. Sometimes it's the fault of the fault of
English translations (Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole's first case is much referenced in
later books, but was only available later). Anyway I digress.
Detective
Cassie Maddox agrees to go undercover to find the murderer of a woman who is
her doppelgänger. She has to seamlessly return, believed to have survived a
stabbing, back to her four housemates.
This
novel is basically a story of an undercover cop, who you don't actually know
will or wants to return to real life. She lost her parents at a young age and
identifies with her new housemates and their "no pasts" mantra. She
finds herself slipping into their closeness. I found the theory that someone
could fool others into believing they were someone known to them slightly
incredible, but then you worry she is going to get burned every day ... The
story is tense and a definite page turner. In fact I stayed in bed this whole
morning to finish it!
