Fatal Identity by Joanne Fluke MYS Flu


I have listened to all of Fluke's books and this one was a bit different.  In fact I stopped listening after about fifteen minutes to double check what I was listening to!  Most of her books are really cozy, cozy murder mysteries.  This one was a bit darker and I loved it.

Mercedes and Marcie are identical twins but their lives have gone in totally different directions.   Marcie is still back in Minnesota, single, rather shy and an art teacher.  Mercedes is living a glamorous life in Hollywood as a successful actress.   She has two children and a handsome husband who seems to get along well with his stepchildren.

Someone has been watching Mercedes at times when she thinks she is alone.  One day she goes swimming in her pool as she does everyday - except this time she is found dead.

Marcie flies out immediately to be with her niece and nephew and to support the widower.  Since Mercedes was just finishing up a movie the studio is very upset - until they meet Marcie and realize that with some Hollywood magic Marcie can finish it.  So Marcie is brought into her sister's life - acting in her sister's place, mothering her sister's children and becoming more and more attached to her sister's husband.
