About this ebook

She was a dead ringer. Now she’s just dead. . . .

Blair Mallory lives the good life. She’s pretty, confident, and the owner of a thriving up-scale fitness center. But in the shadow of success, a troubled member of the club develops a strange fixation on Blair, imitating her style and dress. Matters take a darker turn when the look-alike is shot dead—and Blair witnesses the horror.

As the media speculates on the tawdry details of the homicide and pushes Blair into the harsh spotlight, she locks horns with police lieutenant Wyatt Bloodsworth. He wants to lead an investigation without interference, while Blair is determined to probe the dead woman’s life on her own. But when someone begins to menace Blair with mounting threats, Wyatt takes notice: Was this murder indeed a lethal case of mistaken identity–and was Blair the intended victim?

Ratings and reviews

This one is on my bookshelf and this is the third time I've read it. Trying forget all of my favorites on my tablet now so next will be Drop Dead Gorgeous. Linda Howard is another one of my favorite authors!

Loved the story of Blair and Wyatt, book 1. I've read this 3 or 4 times now. Someone's out to get Blair, but who? That's where Wyatt comes in. I'll be reading book 2, Drop Dead Gorgeous next.

Humorous Tripe. Actually somewhat well written but too much needless sex.
