Thoughts

I’m not a short story reader normally, but I’ve been getting more and more into the format recently. I read the original Twisted book a long time ago, and have had this sequel sitting on my bookshelf since it first came out.

I adore Jeffery Deaver’s writing and have read most, if not all, the Lincoln Rhyme novels. The amount of detail and knowledge about crime, the police system, forensic evidence, it boggles my mind.

The short stories are just as good, with plenty of suspense and always a good twist. I only managed to guess one twist throughout the book, but I am not very good at that kind of thing.

Heartily recommended and I hope for Even More Twisted soon. That’ll be the next title, mark my words.
