Twisted: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

It's full of gritty secrets, lies, deceit, hidden identity, red herrings, and just when you think you found the puzzle piece, think again! If this is the first book you have read by Steve Cavanagh and you weren't raving about it then my recommendation is to try a book from the Eddie Flynn series. They are amazing thrillers. If you loved this one then you are in for a real treat because his other books are even better. If you enjoy thrillers to keep you dangling for answers whilst ramping up the pace then you definitely need to read TWISTED! From here on in, don’t believe a single word you read.”, and it’s not until the author wraps up this mind bender of a book that you finally understand what sits behind this sound bite. Thank you to Tracy at Compulsive Readers Tours for this copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Outstanding. Totally absorbing and compelling. A masterpiece in thriller plotting– twists and turns at a ferocious pace, leading to a nail-biting conclusion.’ Mel Sherrat I am a huge fan of mind bending thrillers where most of the enjoyment comes from solving the riddle or puzzle before its revealed. However, this was a little bit too convoluted hence the 3/4 stars, or maybe it’s because I didn’t work it out. :) Not whatever it is I got with Twisted. Although, despite my criticism, I really must say I enjoyed the story in general. There were certainly some plot twists I didn't see coming, it was just not the sort of twist I expected/wanted. The storyline is somewhat predictable in some cases. Maybe people who are really easily freaked out might enjoy this.Cavanagh κατορθώνει να σε κάνει να αμφιβάλλεις κάθε στιγμή γι’ αυτό που διαβάζεις. Σε κάνει να ανατρέχεις στις προηγούμενες σελίδες για να σιγουρευτείς για αυτό που είναι γραμμένο εκεί, γιατί ανατρέπεται με τέτοιον τρόπο αργότερα που μοιάζει σαν επιτυχημένο, αλλά αλλόκοτο μαγικό τρικ. Χτίζει μια θεωρία και τη θρέφει για λίγο, απλά για να έρθει λίγο μετά και να την καταρρίψει πανηγυρικά, ορθώνοντας στη θέση της μια άλλη. Ξανά και ξανά… μέχρι το τέλος. Οπωσδήποτε ο αναγνώστης χρειάζεται πολλή υπομονή και προσήλωση στην αφήγηση, όπως και διάθεση γι�� ένταση και σκέψη, ώστε να τα βγάλει πέρα σ’ αυτό το επικίνδυνο και ιδιοφυές παιχνίδι της γάτας με το ποντίκι που παίζει μαζί του ο συγγραφέας, αλλά και οι ήρωες μεταξύ τους. Psychologically twisted so you question everything, mentally demanding because you have to concentrate on the plot to solve the riddle and wonderfully inviting because it is written by an author who knows how to write the ultimate killer thriller. The book started strong BUT the plot lost steam about halfway, and started to drag, dumping information to try and explain the complicated TWIST. The second positive is that my copy of “The Accomplice” (Eddie Flynn #7) is on its way to me from the U.K. So I am completely caught up and ready for what’s next! Can’t wait! Steve Cavanagh επιστρέφει με ένα ακόμα θρίλερ που ευελπιστεί να καθηλώσει με τον ίδιο τρόπο τους αναγνώστες.

I stumbled upon the work of Steve Cavanagh early this year and have not been able to get enough. While Eddie Flynn is a wonderful protagonist, I enjoyed this standalone that permitted me to see a new and exciting side to this thrill writer. Cavanagh creates a wonderful story with a handful of basic characters, turning a simple reveal into a masterful game of cat and mouse. With a story in which the reader knows all and watches things play out, Cavanagh develops his narrative and takes it in many needed tangents before returning things for the final reveal. Cavanagh uses his strong characters and dialogue to pull the reader in, mixing short and longer chapters to create sustained interest. Once caught in the trap, all the reader can do is ‘read a little more’ to get their fix. I’m now a firm believer that Steve Cavanagh is one of those versatile authors who can turn any plot into a masterful novel. If only I did not have to wait so long for more! Twisted is a compulsive psychological thriller that is completely enthralling, suspenseful and Taut.J T LeBeau, the author of Twisted, is a multi-million dollar best-selling author, hiding behind a veil of secrecy. Their publisher doesn’t even know his or her true identity and they will go to any lengths to keep it that way. When Sheriff Abraham Dole, and his Deputy of very few words, Melissa Bloch, are called in to a break in at the Coopers home, they can feel something is off, particularly when nothing is taken. This turns out to be the beginning of an investigation for them that is to test them to their limits as it spirals in completely unexpected directions, and begins to take in a long ago case that involved the murder of a woman who was never identified in Port Lonely, a case Dole has never forgotten. This is a story of a rising body count in murders, of characters that are nothing as they appear, unreliable memories, and two authors in the process of writing their latest books, one a murderous predator, the other trying merely to survive.
