The Mirror Man by Jane Gilmartin

 Wow, what an thrilling science fiction read! It was interesting to see how the author differentiated Jeremiah from his clone and Jeremiah's reaction to being part of the experiment. The action really ramps up in the second half of the novel. I loved the twists. I can't wait to read more books by this excellent author!

 I loved this wonderful book!  I liked the intimacy of it being set in a small fishing town.  The characters are wonderfully complex.  The events on that fateful winter's day has far ranging repercussions for all of the characters. I was shocked when I found out what had actually happened. The ending was a nice  bookend to the story.

 What an excellent gothic thriller!  The supernatural elements as well as the Nordic setting really helped infuse the book with a creepy atmosphere.  I felt great sympathy for Lexi, the main character.  The chapters which focused on the past really helped to better understand Aurelia and Tom's marriage.  I loved the ending! I would greatly enjoy reading further novels by this author.
