Although Nessa was afraid of heights, she climbed a tower and fell off, leaving her near death. Now her twin has taken her place at her employer's estate to investigate what really happened, faking amnesia to hide his (yes, his) lack of knowledge. Only Nessa's cat realizes that he is an imposter.
Not one of Babson's better books, but not bad.

Pretty good mystery. It had me guessing. Quite a bit of it was far-fetched, though, and not enough kitty to suit my taste.
Really cute cozy mystery. Loved it. She has changed her focus from the American B actresses to another character but I liked the change. A nice lite read.
