Tödliche Verwechslung

Synopsis of Tödliche Verwechslung

In this lively romantic thriller, Nancy Stern, a preschool teacher in Manhattan, receives flowers from a secret admirer. She soon discovers that the bouquet is not for her, nor are the calls from fascinating men or the invitations to film premieres and glamorous parties. Another Nancy Stern, a prominent journalist, has just moved into the penthouse in our heroine's building. This is enough to make the teacher, who hasn't had a date in months, accept one of the mistaken invitations. The man begins to steal her heart, and the longer she waits to tell him about the mix-up, the less she wants to. But when the other Nancy Stern is murdered and the murder makes headlines, the charade is over.

Or is it? It seems that even the murderer was confused - he wanted to get rid of the sweet Nancy, and it all has to do with a flashy brooch that one of her students gave her, a little boy who claims his father is a pirate and has a treasure chest full of loot. This is the perfect summer read - as foamy as an incoming wave, as refreshing as an ice cream on a hot day.
