About this ebook

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of You Betrayed Me delivers a twisty, page-turning novel of twin sisters and a dark family history . . .
 
Sisters share a bond—twins especially. For Maggie McCrae and Mary Theresa, that link once allowed them to communicate no matter how much distance separated them. But there were differences between them too.
 
Maggie has always been the paler, quieter version of her wild and glamorous sister. Mary Theresa, adopting the name Marquise, has become a TV star, while Maggie is building a new life in small-town Idaho after her husband’s death, and wrangling a resentful teenage daughter. But when Mary Theresa disappears, their connection reignites, and Maggie knows with certainty that her twin is in real danger.
 
Thane Walker, the man Maggie loved until Mary Theresa lured him away, is her best hope of learning the truth—if Maggie can bring herself to trust him. But the deeper she digs, unraveling the layers of her sister’s life, the more she discovers about her own complicated past. A legacy of deceit and betrayal has brought Maggie within a hair’s breadth of a killer—one intent on revenge at any price . . .

Ratings and reviews

Maggie and Mary are twin sisters ... seemingly they are nothing at all alike. Mary (Marquise) is not a nice person ... starting when she lured her sister's boyfriend away by saying she was pregnant. Turns out she was pregnant, but it wasn't Thane's child. She has gone on and become a TV star. Mary has disappeared and the link that has always allowed them to communicate no matter the distance is telling Maggie that Mary is really in danger. She has no choice but to turn to Thane ... if Maggie can trust him. The deeper she digs into her sister's life, she more she discovers things she's never known. And now Maggie may be the next person to disappear ... This is not the author's best work. I have read many of her books and not been disappointed .. until now. The characters are not deeply drawn ... and hard to feel much of anything for either of the sisters. Thane seems to think that everything between him and Maggie was complicated by Mary saying she was pregnant with his baby. He tried to do the right thing by marrying her .. but evidently he had already cheated on Maggie . So what does that make him. The plot was okay, although it's been done many times. Here's hoping her next book will be more on par with what I know she can accomplish. For fans of this author, this is not her normal Romantic Suspense. It's more of a Psychological Drama. Many thanks to the author / Kensington Books / Netgalley for the digital copy of this psychological drama. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

The descriptions of Thane were really overdone. As ridiculous as Mary Theresa was I found Maggie even more annoying.

Great Book...
