David Anderson is a mild-mannered English professor until he walks into the classroom one day and discovers the corpse of one of his colleagues. She has been murdered. With all eyes on him, another woman, this time a former student of his, is also found murdered. In both cases, the killer has done the same thing: taken photos of the body and posted them anonymously online. Because of this, the media has dubbed him the Voyeur Killer.
When it happens a third time, Detective Grimm, the cold and ruthless woman leading the investigation, narrows her sights on the English professor and begins to close in. Yet David, who has exhausted himself convincing others that he isn’t guilty, begins to question his own sanity. Is he the one committing these murders? Has he been doing it without his own knowledge? Desperate to clear his own name and discover what is happening, he begins to unravel the secrets of a twisted and depraved mind. The only question: is it his own?
About the Author:
William Michael Davidson lives in Long Beach, California. A believer that “good living produces good writing,” Davidson writes early in the morning so he can get outside, exercise, spend time with people, and experience as much as possible. He is a writer of suspense and speculative fiction. If he’s not writing, he’s probably at the beach.
Doppelganger Review:
“Doppelganger” turned out to be an intense psychological thriller mixed with murder and intrigue, and I enjoyed reading this book.
The author added many twists and turns and took the story in a direction that I did not expect. I also enjoyed the way the author dwelled into David’s life, and it keeps you guessing if David is behind the murders as people suspect him. David is a complex character who keeps getting blackouts and finds himself in places like the cemetery. Hence, you wonder if he is the reason behind some characters like Marissa and Leslie.
I also liked how the author balanced David’s personal life with his complex relationship with daughter Scarlet. However, the highlight of the story was David’s interactions with Detective Grimm. I found Detective Grimm to be fascinating and thought the character brought the story to life. Moreover, I liked how the author changed the perspective from David to the killer, where we see how he would attack the next victim. This part was intriguing as this person also has a similar history to David.
However, there were times where I felt like the book was lengthy, and the author paced the mystery a bit slow. The author could have trimmed a few areas to shorten the tale, mainly when he follows a typical workday as a professor.
But, overall, “Doppelganger” was an exciting, psychological thriller that keeps you guessing as to how is behind the murders and has a thrilling climax. I enjoyed reading this one.
