She mother has issues with paranoia and Sienna has been a witness to her meltdowns for years. After her father's death she decided to return home, help with her mother and put the ghosts of the past to rest, if possible. 
When she arrives she is greeted by her brother. Her mother seems on edge, living in her home in darkness. All the drapes and shades are closed. She is determined to prove people are passing in front of her home. And that she was pushed down the stairs by an unknown assailant. Even though she told everyone she tripped and fell. Of everything her one challenge is to keep her daughter safe, no matter what. 
The girl that died 10 years before was a look a like of her daughter. She is sure that Sienna was the one meant to die.
A story where no one can be trusted. Not family, friends or lovers.

Sienna returns to her home town ten years after leaving it following her discovering the body of a fellow college student who had been brutally murdered in the snow.  Her mother, a woman suffering from paranoia, recently fell down the steps of their home.  According to her mother, she was pushed but everyone believes that is just another symptom of her illness.  Sienna learns from her brother that the police have reopened the investigation into the ten year old unsolved murder.  She is reluctantly dragged into the investigation and begins to suspect everyone around her including her new across the street neighbor.  I won’t go any further into the plot because of spoilers but did find it to be fast and entertaining reading.  Thanks to Net Galley and St. Martin’s Press for an ARC for an honest review.

An entertaining psychological thriller although a bit of a slow burner.

Sienna grew up with her mentally troubled mother who made her life miserable.
Now she is back in her hometown trying to solve a murder mystery.
However, the deeper she digs into this murder mystery, the more danger looms around her.
It's either she is the killer's next target, or paranoia is getting the best of her.

Thanks Netgalley, St. Martin's Press, and Erica Spindler for a digital ARC in exchange for an honest and unedited opinion.

I had never read one of Ms. Spindler’s books before and probably won’t after reading this one. I do understand the good Press for her writing, but I found it overly long, too wordy and too many things going on. The basic story is that a girl dressed like the main character was killed on campus  many years ago. Now that the main character is back in town, she is getting anonymous calls claiming she was the one meant to die. Five thousand pages later, you find the answer. Not for me....

You Should've Died!!
In this case Sienna's mother suffers from mental illness specifically paranoia and a terrible past which has troubled Sienna over the years as it threatens to reveal an unsolved murder. 
Could Sienna have been the target all along ?
Could she be suffering from the same illness that her mother possesses?
What if the killer has returned to finish the job?
This is an edge of your seat thriller that's not to be missed...

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review 

This book is less of a psychological thriller than a airport purchase suspense novel. The heroine is very passive and the mystery seems to happen around her, which doesn’t necessarily take away from the plot, but it is kind of distracting if you’re the kinda lady that prefers the company of more ballsy females. 3.5.

Erica Spindler is the master of writing thrilling psychologically books
The Look Alike Is ho different

It is about a woman who thinks she escaped from a murderous attack, many years ago.
Does this represent reality or is it just a delusion?

Now, the past seems to be creeping back into her life..
Is she the potential victim?
I am not giving away any spoilers
Just read this book, but make sure the doors are locked

This is a stand alone mystery.  I love when authors write books in a series but sometimes you just want to sit down and read a good stand alone and not have to worry about sequels.  This book really shows how mental illness can disrupt the lives of a whole family and how this family deals with the fallout.  A very good mystery with lots of twists and turns and lots of suspects to choose from
