Publisher Description
A serial killer sets his sights on a beautiful Montana doctor in this romantic thriller of by the #1 New York Timesbestselling author.
When two women turn up dead, both bearing an uncanny resemblance to Dr. Kacey Lambert, it appears to be a sad, strange coincidence. It's not like there was any connection between Kacey and the B-movie actress or the elementary school teacher. But Detective Selena Alvarez suspects the “coincidence” is all part of a sinister design.
One of the bodies contained traces of poison at the time of death. Selena and her partner, Detective Regan Pescoli, can find no motive for murder. But Kacey has started to notice ties between herself and the dead women—all close in age, born within miles of each other. And all have links to Montana rancher Trace O'Halleran, the man Kacey just started dating.
The deeper Kacey digs, the more reason she has to fear. More look-alikes are dying, and the killer is getting bolder and more brutal. Now Kacey knows it's only a matter of time before hers is the next name on a list of those who were born to die.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller Jackson's exciting third thriller to feature Det. Selena Alvarez and Det. Regan Pescoli (after Chosen to Die), the two Grizzly Falls, Mont., cops look into the suspicious fall of schoolteacher Jocelyn Wallis onto a rocky ledge. Jocelyn, who later dies in the hospital of her injuries, turns out to bear an uncanny resemblance to Hollywood actress Shelly Bonaventure, whose recent death from a pill overdose was officially ruled a suicide, though the police suspect foul play. When Kacey Lambert, a doctor who coincidentally resembles Jocelyn and Shelly, reports that her home has been bugged, Alvarez and Pescoli step up their investigation before Kacey becomes the next victim. Jackson skillfully interweaves the suspense surrounding the look-alike women with the romance that develops between Kacey and local rancher Trace O'Halleran. Deft characterizations, in particular the strong female leads, and a well-crafted plot compensate for some seriously clich d prose ("Evil glinted in the eyes she'd found so intriguing just hours before").

Confusing conclusion
Too many lose ends
Born to die
Was a very good story but she usually has u sitting on the edge of your seat this one didn't get intense till the end but still good
Born to die
A very good book, well structured and a good climax, couldn't put it down. You never know who the killer is until, you read the last page. Good book, made her one of my favorites
