Review: Body Double by Tess Gerritsen

lBody Double
First line:

"That boy was watching her again."

I'm late in catching up to Tess Gerritsen's excellent string of bestselling thrillers, and I'm delighted to discover Body Double. (I'll soon post a review of Ice Cold: A Rizzoli & Isles Novel. For some fun insider dish by the author herself, check out Tess's post over at Murderati).  In this tale, Boston medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles is disturbed to discover that a murdered woman looks exactly like her. A DNA test confirms that the victim is, in fact, her twin sister. This discovery is the opening of a gripping, fast-paced story that will keep your interest every step of the way. One of the things I love about this story is that there's a pregnant woman in the story who could have been a standard damsel in distress, but she turns out to have unexpected reserves of strength and ingenuity that helps her turn the tables on her attacker. I highly recommend this book.   

Rating: You gotta read this one!
