About the Book
From Erica Spindler, the New York Times bestselling author of The Other Girl and Justice for Sara comes The Look-Alike, a thrilling psychological drama about a woman who believes she escaped a brutal murder years ago—but does anyone else believe her?
Sienna Scott grew up in the dark shadow of her mother’s paranoid delusions. Now, she’s returned home to confront her past and the unsolved murder that altered the course of her life.
In her mother’s shuttered house, an old fear that has haunted Sienna for years rears its ugly head—that it was she who had been the killer’s target that night. And now, with it, a new fear—that the killer not only intended to remedy his past mistake—he’s already begun. But are these fears any different from the ones that torment her mother?
As the walls close in, the line between truth and lie, reality and delusion disintegrate. Has Sienna’s worst nightmare come true? Or will she unmask a killer and finally prove she may be her mother’s look-alike, but she’s not her clone?
My Review
I have read from Erica Spindler in the past, and I assumed I would be in for a worthy read with The Look-Alike – and I wasn’t wrong. This is a psychological thriller that gives us plenty of bait, questionable characters and what-if moments along the way, and I was captured following Sienna as she returns home – and confronts an unsolved murder that she still believes she was meant to be the victim of. I read this one quickly, and while it was full of twists and turns, I never got lost in all the action. My only downfall was the ending wrapped up fairly quick and I felt like I snapped my fingers and it was over. Because we got so much from beginning to almost the end, I wished there was just a bit more to give us to wrap everything up, but still a really fantastic read. If you are a fan of the genre, I would recommend!
