THINK TWICE

Lisa Scottoline's thirteenth novel returns to the world of heroine Bennie Rosato, a woman successful in law and business. Once again, Bennie is pitted against her deadly adversary: her evil twin sister, Alice. Jennifer Van Dyck depicts Alice’s sinister narcissism and deftly portrays Bennie’s panic as she survives being buried alive only to discover that she must fight to prove her identity, recover her money, and reclaim her lover. Van Dyck moves smoothly between the viewpoints of the opposing siblings, juggles the quick pacing of their contest of wit and wills, and emphasizes the story's wry humor. An author interview reveals details of Scottoline's personal connection to her heroine, her creative process, and her belief in the "heard word" of audio.
