But as Claire Barrow sat at her computer, outlining a plot about identity theft, fiction was becoming reality. She is still beset with grief over the death of her policeman husband and struggling to raise her increasingly truculent stepdaughter. Now Claire must face the frightening truth that someone is appropriating her own identity, piece by piece. And, in a hideous twist of criminal injustice, she could become the ultimate victim. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Twisted into a knot!Kelman writes well. Too bad she wasted her talent on absurd plot twists, annoying psychotic characters and a ridiculous ending. I started speedreading halfway through just to see how it ended, and even that was a waste of my time. Rating:  - A great book!This is a thriller in the grand tradition.

And people keep getting murdered but no one mentions it afterwards! "Oh,theres money missing from my account? Oh well its the weekend I'll take care of it later!" Everyone assumes the bad guy is the cause of all evil, no exploration of who else may be at fault,or who or why. I don't know about anyone else but I personally like suspense/murder/mystery books that actually ...

She is constantly battling with her stepdaughter and trying to stem the theft of her credit accounts while learning to live with the grief of being a new widow whose husband suicided. All a good premise for a gripping novel... Lots of potentially fascinating characters appear and just as quickly disappear, never to be heard of again. The villain of the piece is so evil and deranged that NO ... Read More
