I usually love Scottoline's books but this one fell flat. I just could not buy into the "evil twin" plot - one is an accused murderer (she's murdered before, but is unjustly accused this time) and the other a highly renown lawyer. Of course, up until the evil twin contacting her, Rosato never knew she was a twin.

Another brilliant effort by one of my favorite authors. This story has plot twists, suspense, murder, drama and even a little humor. It's fast paced and exciting to read. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it to others.

I kind of read this out of order - did not realize it until I was half way into the book and caught in the turmoil.
Awesome book!

Mistaken Identity is the first book I've read by Lisa Scottoline. My parents bought three books by Scottoline at the local used book store, so I had three to choose from. I chose Mistaken Identity because the whole might-be-twins thing intrigues me. After reading one of Beverly Barton's books about twins I've been very interested in reading others that may be somewhat similar.

I really liked this book, partly because it wasn't like the typical plot lines that I usually read. This one was slightly different, it wasn't all about the murders. It's not from the detective's point of view as they search for the murderer, it's from the lawyer's point of view as they try to get the person whose been convicted off the hook. I liked this, although in ways I felt the book was lacking in the aspect of not seeing how the murder was solved, and generally not reading about the goings on of the detectives.. You just ended up finding out the story as you went along, not being sure if it's the truth or just some lie to get the supposed murderer convicted. It almost felt like the lawyer was a wannabe detective, trying to solve the murder. Anyways, this book was about lawyer Bennie Rosato taking on the case of her supposed-twin, Alice Connolly, who is being tried for the murder of Detective Anthony Della Porta. Throughout the book it's detailing the trial, and what goes on surrounding the trial.

I really enjoyed this book, just because it was a fresh perspective for me.

Book #49 read in 2009

Not the best in this series so far, but good.

(3.5) Awesome in the begginning, but I kind of lost focus during the end...

This book grabbed me right from the start. It was fast paced and full of intrigue! Didn't see that ending coming either.

I listened to the audiobook and I hated how the narrator read Mary's voice, sounded to nasally. And hated how docile Scottoline made her. I've read some of the later books already, and I much prefer her in those over this one.

You have to listen to the audio book by Kate Harper. Start at Disc 10, about 36:00 in. There is some of the best courtroom dialogue I've seen in a long time. Reading it can't really do it justice.

So, I knew about Connelly going into this book. I haven't read all of Lisa's books in order. We get to see her again, and she's just as dastardly as this time.

I must say that there was something at the end that I didn't expect. Quite the shocker.
