Separated at birth, thirty-three year old identical twins Ann Livingston and Veronica Westbrook couldn’t be more different: Ann, a loving wife and mother battling depression over the stillborn death of a daughter and infertility from a hysterectomy; Veronica, a heartless sociopath who would commit any crime—and any sin—to make her next big score. When Veronica learns that Ann has married into a wealthy family, she hatches a plan to become Ann. Identical Misfortune chronicles the thoughts and actions of Veronica, a cold-blooded killer as she schemes, lies and murders her way in and out of families on both sides of the Atlantic. The story also follows her pursuer, homicide detective Jo Crowder, whose investigation uncovers one shocking revelation after another. But can she stop Veronica without turning her back on the law she’s sworn to uphold?
