"""Slick and sophisticated, DOUBLE IDENTITY is an action-packed thriller that grabs the reader from the first page and doesn't let go until the last. A cracking start to Morton's new series!"" - E.M. Powell, International Thriller Writers Selected for BookBub's Best Reads of March 2021 ""This is one of those perfect thrillers that you just cannot put down and you keep turning the pages until you get to the end. Mel is a wonderful new protagonist who is as intelligent and tough as any of the male protagonists out there in other thriller series."" - Avonna Loves Genres ""The French feel of the book was brilliant and you can instantly tell the author is from France with just how perfectly written dialogue is (not that I know any French!) This gave the book such a refreshing feel, and this didn't seem to stop the more we get into the book. The way characters are questioned and the way the investigation played out was rather addictive to read, and the author's character creation continued to impress me....A stunningly well put together thriller with just the right balance of action, suspense and even emotion. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!"" - A Quintillion Words ""I don't often read thrillers, but when I do I wish they could all be like this one! I was completely hooked by this story and loved every minute. It's gripping and fast-paced, and once you start, you don't want to stop until the very end. I can't wait for the next book in the series!"" - Christina Courtenay"
