Search - The Switch

I love mysteries and Sandra Brown does a good job "of keeping you on the edge of your seat." The characters seem like real people and they are people you want to me. On a scale of 1 to 5 (1, lowest; 5,highest):5.

From the #1 bestselling author of The Alibi comes a new blockbuster thriller about a woman investigating the murder of her identical twin sister.

What began as a lark turned into tragedy...leaving Gillian Lloyd dead, the victim of a brutal and seemingly unmotivated crime. Her twin Melina, along with astronaut Chief Hart-with whom Gillian had been involved-disagrees with police that the homicide is an open and shut case. She vows to stop at nothing to learn the truth and avenge her twin's death. But Gillian's murder has a far-reaching impact that no one suspected or could even fathom. Soon, Melina is on the run from police, the FBI, and the mastermind whose evil plot to engineer the perfect switch could result in disastrous consequences on a global scale.

It isn't the first time that identical twins Gillian and Melina Lloyd have switched identities. Yet it's the first time as adults that they've even considered the chldhood prank. Melina, the more impetuous twin, proposes that her identical circumspect sister take her place as a media escort to NASA astronaut and national hero Colonel Christopher "Chief" Hart.
Although it's an enticing offer, Gillian declines for a very personal reason-she's preoccupied with whether or not the artificial insemination she underwent that day will be successful. Besides, she warns Melina, such a switch could have unexpected consequences.
Media-savvy Chief turns out to be an easy assignment for Melina-in fact the evening with him is as much pleasure as business. But the followig morning police arrive at Melina's door with the worst possible news: her beloved twin has been burtally murdered in her own bed. And on the walls, scrawled in blood, are obscenities directed at Gillian, along with insults toward Native Americans that disputably link Chief to the crime.
Dissatisfied with the official police investigation, Chief and Melina form a grudging alliance, strike out on their own...and find themselves uncovering more questions than answers. Mistrusting even the authorities claiming to protect them, on the run with their lives in danger, the two are soon following a crooked and bloody trail that inexplicably leads to Gillian's attempt to conceive a child...and to the threshold of an inner sanctum, where a megalomaniac hatches horrific schemes and lies in wait for Gillian's replacement, her identical twin-Melina.

typical Sandra Brown, good read.

This was an awesome read. You just couldn't put the book down. A real page turner. I loved it. The plot was not easy to figure out at all. A must read.
