What would it be like to be an identical twin? Identical twins Vicki and Liz look alike, but their lives are different. Vicki, who runs a B&B;, lost her husband to a car accident two years prior, and two eligible young men are waiting in the wings to date her. Liz, a successful lawyer, has a philandering husband who winds up murdered. Liz also has a sherriff's deputy who has been sweet on her since high school, and an impending murder rap, if the twins don't prove someone else hated Liz's almost-ex more than she did. Thewomen use their identical looks to their advantage/disadvantage as they race to keep Liz out of jail and off the top of the suspect list.Horrocks creates enjoyable, if quirky (this IS a cozy, after all!) characters. I hate to say it, but I was kind of glad that this was not a book where everything turned up impossible roses. Horrocks allows her characters to suffer consequences for their actions, something you don't often see in a cozy. Good, fun read. I DO hope the next book in the series is not such a long wait!!
