When Alice Humphrey lands her dream job managing a new art gallery, it turns into a nightmare. She arrives at the gallery one morning to meet her boss, Drew Campbell, only to find the place cleaned out, save for Drew's corpse. She is bewildered when Drew's ID doesn't check out, nor does the background of the gallery or the primary artist it represents. But when the police show up with a photograph of her doppelganger that suggests she and Drew had more than a business relationship, Alice realizes she has been placed at the center of a nefarious plan. But whose? And why? Beginning to dig, Alice finds herself circling ever closer to home, her discoveries threatening everything she's ever known about family and identity. She is framed for murder and left scrambling to find answers, some of which may have to do with long hidden secrets involving her own family.… (more)

I thought this was a pretty serviceable thriller. I enjoy most of Alafair Burke's books, but some more than others. This probably fit in more with the okay reads and not as high as others I've read of hers. Still good enough to keep her on my go-to list for a fun thriller. ( )

This would be a good four-star mystery, but the last third of the book helps raise it to five-stars. However what brings Alafair Burke's book to high ratings is her character development. By the end of the book I wanted to know what happened next and there was no more book. I can give her no high praise than that. ( )

This is the second book by Burke that I read, and it didn't disappoint me. I liked it better than "The Ex", even! I adore her writing style, so simple and fluid, and I like the fact that the action is less than the mystery. Until the end the story revealed some surprises (and most of my theories were rubbish, which is not usually the case), so I was very happy about that. ( )

This was a pretty good book. I actually thought it was more of a newer release. I was definitely kept guessing up until the end and I loved all the surprises that popped up unexpectedly. ( )
