I picked this up on a pile of discounted books, and it turned out to
be reasonably good. It's quite reminiscent of "Death of a Blue Movie
Star", and it does in fact have a review by Jeffery Deaver on the
cover.
The story, written in the first person, is of a woman photo-journalist
who stumbles on evidence for a serial killer when she realises that
the latest painting in a series by a mysterious artist is of her
identical twin sister who disappeared a year ago. She manages to
involve herself with the investigation and works with the FBI to track
down the clues to her sister's murderer.
The structure of the story is quite formulaic, with a fiesty woman
protagonist, the slightly unconventional FBI agent that she teams up
with (believe it or not they fall for each other), the over-confident
psychological profiler and the murderer with the peculiar fetish
(painting his victims and then selling the pictures). But it was a
good read, and - until the end where we get laboured explanations for
everyone's odd behaviour throughout the book - quite gripping.
