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.
