Delaneyâs hapless victimâs name is Mary, and the two women canât help but notice that they bear an uncanny resemblance to one another.

But when Maryâs husband dies in a car explosionâand Delaney learns he was the very member of city council who proposed that the city take a closer look at the bookshopâs constructionâshe starts to wonder if her meeting with Mary wasnât an accident.
