Here She Lies
Pepper's newest whodunit (following last year'sOne Cold Night) is a suspenseful, well-written yarn that will leave most readers guessing until the final (albeit derivative) twist. Narrator Annie Milliken, a young mother, having recently found evidence that her husband, Bobby, has been cheating, decides to leave him for a new life in New York State with her identical twin sister, Julie. The happy reunion is marred when a murdered woman—who bears a striking resemblance to the Milliken twins—is found on Julie's property, just as Annie and her infant daughter arrive. Uncertain whether the killer was targeting them, and unsettled by Bobby's presence at the scene, Annie finds things going from bad to worse when she herself becomes a suspect. Though the plot may be a little hard to swallow, and the villain's motivation is a little undercooked, those looking for a quick, distracting thrill will find it here.(May)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
