Imitation is the deadliest form of flattery. . .After a messy break-up, Allie Jones finds herself living alone in her New York City apartment, no one to share her bed with–and more urgently, no one to share her rent. The solution seems clear: she needs a roommate. And Hedra Carlson seems perfect–she’s shy, quiet. . .safe. But soon Hedra’s disturbing envy of Allie’s looks and social life … and social life becomes unsettling. She wears Allie’s clothes, even buys a wig in Allie’s color and style. Then the obscene phone calls begin, Allie’s credit cards vanish, and she discovers Hedra is living a dangerous double life. . .and far worse. For Hedra’s twisted admiration has no limits, the nightmare has just begun, and there will be a bloody price to pay.

John lutz writes gory stories but they kept my interest & I read the whole series
I am a big John Lutz fan. He did not let me down!!!
The book is much better!
I actually read this years ago, this was a re-visit. Great read.
Wow, what a book! I loved this story, so many unexpected twists and turns, a fantastic backstory, strong female characters, ….oh just do yourself a favor and read it!
What would you think if someone took over your life and caused you to struggle to get your identity back. Wow, to take over someones life like that which this book describes. Good read, I enjoyed it.
I really liked it–had seen the movie many years ago. The book was just slightly different but I actually liked the book’s storyline better. This one was hard to put down.
John Lutz always delivers a wild ride and this is no exception. It’s an edge of your seat mystery. I love all his books!
