Are separated Siamese twins attached through a psychic connection? Do they think
and act alike? Is there a telepathic connection between them? Margaret LeNois
has boldly explored these possibilities in her novel "Deadly Duplicates." A
psychological thriller, "Deadly Duplicates" is riveting from the beginning to
the end.
The Price sisters, Doreen and Deborah, were conjoined twins who were separated
at birth. They are twenty-four years old, beautiful, and sensuous. From an
outsider's point of view, it looks as though they are leading happy, content
lives. Debbie is an expectant mother, married to a cop, and living in Florida.
Doreen is single and works as a nurse in a New Jersey hospital. However, all is
not well with Doreen. Behind her pretty facade lurks a violent murderer.
Doreen's actions have a direct and dangerous impact on Debbie.
In New Jersey, quite a few doctors from the Metropolitan Hospital are being
brutally murdered. Flagler County, Florida is witnessing a series of random
murders and cannot make any connections among the victims. Police officers, Dave
Selton and Joe Sterling, leave no stone unturned while searching for clues to
the baffling murders. As the body count rises, they are under pressure to bring
the perpetrator to justice before more lives are lost. Can the police connect
the murders to the Price twins, the most unlikely suspects?
LeNois has chillingly revealed the monster within the human self. The spate of
horrendous serial murders in the novel will leave the reader breathless, and the
police's attempts to solve the crimes will keep the reader turning pages until
the end.
