Title: Textbook hackwork
Review: The only people who might gain from reading this book are those interested in the publishing industry and analysis of the minimal requirements for publishing thrillers. "Mistaken Identity" will show that those elements do not include the following:1. Correct English grammar2. Correct usage3. Interesting characters4. Believable situations5. Believable behavior6. Greater-than-one-dimensional characterization7. A grasp of non-standard or non-prestige English8. An ability to allow the reader to trust the author's depictions of professional behaviorThe only manifest requirements are (a) the ability to mix stereotypic characters in soap-operatic situations with (b) a "mystery" that simply operates by witholding explanation until the end of the book.
