Here She Lies: Kate Pepper

Married for a little less than a year, Annie and Bobby Milliken seem to be the happily married couple with a baby daughter. But Annie’s life is turned upside down when she discovers evidence that Bobby’s been unfaithful. Bobby swears he’s innocent, but she doesn’t believe him. Packing up her stuff, and her baby daughter, Annie takes off to live with the one person she trusts the most, her twin sister, Julie.

It doesn’t take long for the two to settle back in to a childhood pattern…dressing the same, spending every waking minute with each other and most disturbingly, sharing Annie’s daughter. When Annie applies for a job, she finds out things aren’t exactly lining up. Her credit cards have been stolen, and she ends up in jail on a theft charge. A case of identity theft? Things get tangled up even more when a woman turns up dead – and she looks a whole lot like the twins. And then Julie disappears with Annie’s daughter…and Annie is arrested for murder…

The author has picked the timely topic of identity theft and adds a unique twist by weaving murder into the mix. Just who is trying to destroy Annie’s life is a mystery up until the end. Even though she's a strong character, Annie shows a realistically vulnerable side when it comes to her sister by turning a blind eye to the possibility of Julie’s guilt. And Bobby? In my opinion, not very likeable but then I expect alpha males in my storylines and not a man willing to submit to a…dominant?…woman. However, it plays perfectly into the story all the way to the end.

If you’re looking for an engaging, page-turning thriller, pick up Here She Lies. Don’t expect to put it down until the last page, though.
