Dead Ringer Reviews
-
I had to push myself to finish this book. It felt like a large amount of time was spent on explaining too much stuff that did not interest me. Government/political subjects are not my thing in books. If you happen to like the government/political scene then maybe this would be better suited for you.

started out great, good plot line, then it got really kind of ridiculous. turns out its a romancy thriller. was ok.

The first novel I've read by this author and I can't wait to explore more of her writing! The book has been on my "to read" shelves for a long time and now I can't understand what took me so long to explore the offering.
It's a page-turning thriller and with a copyright date of 2003 it seems even more creative to be written before the word "terrorist" was part of our nation's daily headlines and daily vocabulary. For anyone who has been deceived by the partner he/she married this captures the innermost feelings of betrayal, guilt, and the aftereffects to his/her self-confidence. Charlotte has been told by the FBI that the man she married and dearly loves is an international terrorist and at Christmas when emotions always seem closer to the surface. So begins twists and turns that I never saw coming on the next page or pages and I couldn't stop reading! -
This started out good, but then went downhill. There were long stretches of nothing but dialogue, about terrorists, fighting for Ireland, the political climate, etc. And the title totally did not fit the book. A dead ringer is someone who looks just like someone else. There was not a single character in this book who fit that description. Instead one of the main characters was someone who had completely changed his appearance so that even his own wife did not recognize him. I thought this would be a romantic suspense story (I mean, it says on the spine "Romantic Suspense"). Instead it was slow moving and slightly boring.

Charlotte's husband goes to put out the garbage and never returns. What has happened to him?
Has he been kidnapped or met with foul play. She calls the police who have no evidence to suggest anything but he just decided to leave.
This book is full of twists and turns as Charolotte tries to discover who her husband really is. Do we really know the people around us?
This is a good book. -
A great romantic suspense. Had me going til the end!

Way to predictable... Only read it cuz it was on the book shelf.. Would have to be a real page turner if I were to read another by her...
