The twists in this story (And there are a number) make a pretty dry novel successful.Mr. Prescott gives us Erin & Annie, a pair of twins, as the protagonists who face-off against Harold, the antagonist, serial killer. Erin is a psychologist; Annie owns a floral shop.The book is nowhere near a classic. Actually much of the dialogue is very simple and can be skimmed through. It actually started to become wearisome. Around 2/3 the way through, the author begins putting some nice little surprises and twists into the story. A dry novel re-invents itself and becomes entertaining.The ending seems it will be predictable. Somewhat true, but there are a few surprises there as well. One part a bit hard to swallow has to do with familiarity. Not wanting to spoil anything I'll not go further on that. You'll know when you get there. It's not Mr. Prescott's best work. But, it's a fast read which is saved by the author's imagination.
