Max and Alissa have a fairy tale life—newlywed, madly in love and enviously rich. Then Max is brutally stabbed to death at their home and Alissa, miraculously, escapes with her life. But why was she spared?
Love Sibel Hodge books. Am never disappointed. And this one was thrilling. What could be better than a love story….but then all goes wrong and at first you know who you want to accuse but as the story goes on there is a twist in there that makes you believe otherwise. Until…..you realize there is another side to this story.
Unable to put down.
WHOA…wait!
What the hell just happened???
Thank you to my GR friend Nadia for getting me excited about this stabby book!
**I have not really trademarked “stabby”.
With a cover like Duplicity by Sibel Hodge, I just know there is some good stuff inside. I read Untouchable by Sibel Hodge and loved it, so I was eager to begin Duplicity.
Duplicity starts out ugly, making me think of Clarise in Hannibal…but severely damaged, twisted.
A terrible, abhorrent childhood with an abusive father, neglectful mother, screaming, yelling, isolation…I want to have sympathy…
I love this kind of book. I love to read about serial killers, psychopaths and sociopaths. To delve into their fictional, or true, mind fascinates me. No matter how much I understand it is not their fault they are what they are, they still make choices.
Psychopaths have no feelings, but are they all killers? They are smart, having to learn to fake all the emotions that ‘normal’ people have. Sometimes one pivotal moment can take someone down a path they never saw coming.
How do so many incompetents get high paying jobs that require knowledge and tact…which they don’t have? Does he have the skills to solve the case, to bring down a murderer? We shall see.
Twists! Turns! Surprises! I LOVE IT! OMG. Sure didn’t see that coming.
The writing and pacing, creativity, twists and turns, suspense and AHA moments kept me on the edge, glued to the pages, unable to stop reading, waiting for the next shoe to drop and who would drop with it. I don’t think there will be a happy ever after here.
As I flip through my notes, on paper and in my Kindle, I am even more upset with myself that I didn’t review this immediately. It is hard to express my emotions since it has been so long, but this is everything I love in a thrilling, chilling, creepalicious psychopath, and of course all the other characters. Sibel Hodge is definitely an author that will be at the top of my reading list.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Duplicity by Sibel Hodge.

Romance, greed, lust, wealth, and … What could go wrong? This book starts out pretty slow, but once the POV changes a couple times back and forth, I was hooked. Trying to solve the ‘who dunnit’ became a challenge to me. I did have a problem with the evidence and how it got where it did; however, it was all ‘tidied’ up at the end. Pretty clever. This was set in the UK and since I’ve visited there, it was easy for me to picture the places (even those made-up). I enjoy visiting places in my books that I’ve been to in real life. Thanks
An excellent psychological thriller that keeps you on your toes as you read.
One of the best psychological thrillers I’ve read. Kept me up until 2:00 am and I wasn’t in the least bit sorry when I was tired the next day. A twisted, diabolical and suspenseful story of jealousy, deceit, greed and lust. The killer twist at the end was the cherry on top. Ms. Hodge is a brilliant storyteller.
The book will hook you until the final pages with the fast-paced action. This thriller will mesmerize suspense fans keeping you guessing the culprit. I recommend this book for mystery fans.
A woman with an abusive childhood discovers she has an identical twin who is very wealthy. From there, murder and secrets unfold. The story is told from two viewpoints plus that of a detective. This wasn’t original, engaging, suspenseful or satisfying for me, and the ending came out of left field.
Loved it.
