Dead Ringer

by Ken Douglas

Maggie Nesbitt is pregnant and depressed, because her husband isn't the father of her unborn child. She's thinking about abortion when she's attacked on the beach. She barely gets away, then gets the shock of her life the next morning when she sees that she has been killed on the news and that her nude body had been dumped in the trash behind a beachside bar. She finds out the body behind the bar is the twin sister she'd been told had died when she was two weeks old. She also learns her twin was divorced from a horrid man and that she had an eight-year-old daughter, Jasmine. Maggie, showing a bump on her head she got while getting away from her attackers, claims partial amnesia and steps into her dead twin's life. This way she can have her baby, give it a home, and save Jasmine from having to go and live with her father. But she doesn't know her twin saw someone do murder. And that someone thinks he killed the wrong woman.

this was a basic little mystery, nothing special!

[Samm Seals · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a fun book. Made me pay attention. The bad guys are screwy but plenty bad.
The end is quite satisfactory!
Read in one day.

I just discovered Ken Douglas and I have to be honest and say that I liked this book. It's light and fluffy and like junk food it's quite addicting. The action moves along briskly and you're instantly sucked into the story and while you know none of this could really happen you almost want to see Maggie succeede. By the end of the book you know the good guys win and the evil doers are dispensed of and every one lives happily ever after.

I became involved with the characters from the beginning and just kept reading. I recommend this book to all who enjoy fast caring action from the person's in their books.
