Synopsis:
"Lila Bennett’s bad choices have finally caught up with her. And one of those decisions has split her life in two. Literally.
In one life, she’s taken hostage by someone who appears to be a stranger but knows too much. As she’s trapped in a concrete cell, her kidnapper forces her to face what she’s done or be killed. In an alternate life, she eludes her captor but is hunted by someone who is dismantling her happiness, exposing one secret at a time.
Lila’s decorated career as a criminal defense attorney, her marriage, and her life are on the line. She must make a list of those she’s wronged—both in and out of the courtroom—to determine who is out to get her before it’s too late. But even if she can pinpoint her assailant, will she survive? And if she does, which parts of her life are worth saving, and which parts must die? Because one thing’s for certain—life as Lila Bennett knew it is over." Amazon.com
Review:
I FLEW through The Two Lila Bennetts. Fleeeeeew through it. My heart was pounding. The pages were turning quickly. And I could not get to the end fast enough. This was another Sliding Doors type with two parallel realities side by side. Lila, the power hungry defense attorney, is dealing with her past of representing clients who she felt were guilty but did everything in her power to get them cleared of their sentencing. The story splits off when Lila is faced with the choice to have dinner at home with her husband, or having dinner with her coworker (who she is also sleeping with!). One of the storylines ultimately leads to her being captured.
I don’t want to give anything else away, so I won’t say anything more!
This was a face paced, brilliantly written, suspenseful thriller with lots of twists and turns. I’ve read books in the past with 2 authors, and you can tell. There is often times some disconnect within chapters. NOT HERE. Liz and Lisa write with a finesse that is so fluid. They have one voice. I applaud their talent!
What are you waiting for??
