This is a really good psychological thriller. It kept me guessing right till the end. Sienna came upon a murder victim when she was in college. The scene haunted her because she was wearing the same coat as the victim. Had she been the intended target? The authorities do not believe so and shortly after she was sent away to live with her grandmother for 10 years. The murder has not been solved. Sienna returns home having just heard that the case has been reopened . She is staying with her mother who suffers from a severe delusional disorder. Sienna becomes involved with the case and worries she is becoming like her mother, suffering delusions. There were many possibilities as to who the murderer was. This story kept me enthralled and it was hard to put down.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Another creepy, twisty, scary work of art by Erica Spindler.

This was one of those stories where I was genuinely creeped out the entire time I was reading the book (which to be fair was like four hours over two days - I devoured it) and then the answer was SO obvious the entire time that I didn't know how I missed it. That's one of the hallmarks to me though of an insanely good book - when the author is pulling you alongside the characters on this journey and you think you know, but you never actually figure it out, and then the big reveal happens and everything adds up.

A good thriller is one of my favorite reads, and I'm sure this is going to be one of those ones that shoots to the top of everybody's must read lists!

A mystery thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat! There are so many red herrings in this book, you don't know who to trust, who to believe, or who may be out to hurt Sienna and her family.

Sienna comes from a dysfunctional family (her father left another woman to be with her mother) and her mother suffers from mental illness. 10 years ago Sienna was on her way home from her college study group when she finds the body of a murdered girl in the snow. Her mother goes over the edge believing that it was supposed to be Sienna that was killed, which then makes Sienna paranoid that her mother is right. Her father sends her to live with her grandmother in London.

Ten years later, Sienna comes back and immediately begins to get creepy calls telling her she was supposed to be the one. Is someone tormenting Sienna? Why didn't the police ever catch anyone? Do the people around her have good intentions or not? This thriller will keep you guessing, and enjoying a fast, engrossing read!

Good solid mystery thriller. Kept me guessing which I like. I love Erica Spindler and look forward to her next book. Definitely recommend.

A fast paced read; good murder mystery. I actually pegged the killer, however the author did a great job of making me doubt many times with many twists and turns to keep me thinking that I might be wrong on this. Sienna makes a lot of stupid choices throughout the book; she tries to be fearless to not be like her mom who suffers from a delusional disorder. Definitely recommend! Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for the ARC

I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. This is my first time reading a book by Erica Spindler but it will not be my last! This thriller had me glued. The storyline was engaging and the characters were relatable, you couldn't help but feel for the protagonist throughout the story. This story will have you guessing and re-guessing until the final chapters. Thank you much for the opportunity to read The Look-Alike, I highly recommend to anyone who loves a good thriller.

Crazy neat thriller of who-did-it while accurately touching on the real effects of loving someone with a mental illness.

Sienna has come home after being away for ten years. Hoping to be able to help her brother take care of her mother. Hoping everyone doesn’t think she is as crazy as her mother. Ten years ago she was sent away to London after finding a murdered girl her father sent her away hoping that being Away from her mother would protect her from going insane. Now that she is back the police have reopened the unsolved murder of the girl Sienna found and strange things are happening is she going crazy like her mother are is something else going on.

This book is the story of a woman finally confronting her past and the terrible discovery which changed her life forever. Sienna Scott discovered a fellow student's body in college and subsequently was sent to live with her grandmother for ten years. She always had a feeling she was the one who was meant to die. Her family and the police dismissed her fears. When she returns to take care of her mother, she begins to put together pieces of the still unsolved murder which may prove she was right after all. A solid book by Erica Spindler.

A thoroughly enjoyable thriller. I'ver not read Erica Spindler's books for a few years and I've always enjoyed them and am pleased to say that I enjoyed this one as much as her previous ones.

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley.

Mental illness and a dysfunctional family have surrounded Sienna since her birth. As the title suggests, physical resemblance plays a large role in this story. Ten years ago, a woman wearing the same coat as Sienna was murdered...who was the intended victim?

Sienna bears an uncanny physical likeness to her mother...but did Sienna also inherit her mother's mental illness?

Who is the murderer? What secrets are hidden?

The book was exciting and kept the reader guessing until the satisfying conclusion.

This book was good, however, it was very obvious early in the story who the killer was. The author did a good job casting suspicion on many characters but it was no surprise at the end.

Sienna’s story was really good. Definitely keeps you guessing! At first I didn’t really like how she jumped into the relationship with her neighbor but after finishing it I understand.

This was the perfect suspense book for me, I loved going on this journey with Sienna. It had institutions that I wanted in a mystery novel and kept me glued to the edge of my seat.

Sienna has returned home after living abroad for 10-years- having been sent thereafter she discovers a body on her walk home on her college campus late one night. Wearing the same coat as the murder victim at the time, she was fearful that she was the intended victim. Her mentally ill mother only confirms her suspicions blurting out in rage her it should have been Sienna.
Years later, upon arriving back to Wisconsin, she finds out the unsolved murder case has been reopened recently and as hang-up phone calls and strange drive-bys begin, she once again fears the killer is back and this time she is the target for sure. Is this true? Or is she becoming paranoid like her mother?
I've read a few reviews where readers say they figure out the killer before finishing the book- but that was not the case for me! I thought I had things pieced together a few times but I was surprised by the ended. There were several twists throughout and a few "gotcha" moments that I never saw coming. This story was a fast and fun read. I would recommend it but don't read it alone at night!
Thank you to St. Martins Press and NetGalley for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I enjoyed it overall, but I got frustrated with Sienna, who made a lot of bad decisions in the course of the story. The romantic plot line happened quickly and wasn't explored in depth so the declarations of love felt silly and immature. That was the weakest part of the storyline, although I did figure out the villain very quickly. Overall, it was a good read, and it did have a couple of interesting turns.

Ten stars to this author! I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery. Unusual and riveting plot, excellent writing and terrific characters. I was sorry I finished it. Wish it were another hundred pages--absolutely loved it and highly recommend!

Perfect for fans of Riley Sager and Gillian Flynn, <i>The Look-Alike</i> will pull you in and keep you guessing till very end.

At times, the story seemed to twist around on itself a little too much and the protagonist wasn't super likable but nonetheless, I highly recommend this book.

Huge thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for allowing me to read to take this wild ride!

This one was enjoyable while I was reading it, even though I had to suspend disbelief more than a few times. But when I went to write my review, just a day after finishing the book, I already found that most of the story had left my mind or merged with other, similar, thrillers I've read in recent times. There's nothing wrong with this one - let me be clear about that. It's an engaging and easy read. There were twists and turns and red herrings, as in all such psychological thrillers, and while I saw some of them coming, on the whole they held my interest and were engaging enough. But there just wasn't anything about this one that stood out as unique or memorable for me. So if you're looking for an entertaining, quick, enjoyable read, this is that. If you're looking for something that makes a lasting impression, perhaps not as much...

Even though this book is predictable, it was so good. I really enjoyed the mystery and the characters. The mystery of this story is what keeps you reading. It was an interesting read and a little different from similar stories. Good book all around.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
