Maria leads a quiet life with her semi-secretive husband Paul. She feels unfulfilled in all the ways that matter and thus as an affair with Daryl, with whom she discovers paperwork that leads them to believe her husband Paul is actually an author worth millions. Instead of being upfront about the whole matter they take the low road and get semi-aggressive. To say the least, things get out of hand. Because there is another player in their game they know nothing of.

Then there came a major medical flaw. There were 2 of them but I let go of the first one because miracles happen in the medical field, the second I couldn't let go. This book is for you if… you're easily scared and freaked out by the idea of trusting anyone. Or are naive enough to think you could actually ever truly know someone. Read this. It’ll maybe make it worse. I suggest looking elsewhere for a more intense thriller, though. The book opens with the memorial service for author, J.T. LeBeau, finally identified. LeBeau has been a cipher for years, turning out just one thriller a year. His fame and prestige soaring as his mystique grew. No one knew who he was, at least no one who was still alive. Oddly, his books bore more than a passing resemblance to a number of actual murders.

This will be my last book. I won’t write another. The reason should be clear by the time you come to the end of the story. That’s an interesting word-story. Is this a true story? Is it a memoir? Or fiction? I can’t say… There are only two things you need to know: One POSITIVE however is that we are introduced to a young deputy Melissa Bloch, and we learned about the case that motivated her to move into Private Investigation work, eventually leading her to a job with Eddie Flynn- If you enjoy thrillers to keep you dangling for answers whilst ramping up the pace then you definitely need to read TWISTED!

It's full of gritty secrets, lies, deceit, hidden identity, red herrings, and just when you think you found the puzzle piece, think again! The other thing great twists have in common is that you don’t see them coming. You’re so wrapped up in the story that they hit you without warning. Because ‘Twisted’ sells itself on its twists I found myself constantly looking for them, so that when they did come, they weren’t that unexpected. Often, I’d spent so much time thinking about them that I’d already figured out what they were going to be. On my specific instructions my publisher have not edited this text. There have been no editorial notes, structural edits or other outside interference.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. :) Maria asked for cream and sugar, and it came a lot later than it should have. No tip for Sandy, thought Maria. A fantastic read. Guaranteed to be one of the big books of 2019. You won’t be able to put this down. It’s about time we found out the truth about JT LeBeau…’ Luca Veste

The truth can be far too brutal.Maria has been married to Paul Cooper for almost two years, but not very happily. Paul travels a lot, and he’s emotionally distant even when he’s home. So Maria has been having an affair with Daryl for almost five months. But just as she’s preparing to leave Paul, she finds some papers that show he’s been hiding his identity from her this whole time, that Paul is really the secretive, best-selling author J.T. LeBeau. Angry at his deception, Maria decides to stage her discovery as a burglary to try to pressure Paul into telling her the truth. But Paul has more he’s hiding than than just his secret life as an author, and Maria has started a chain reaction that threatens them both …. King, ή μάλλον για να μιλήσω πιο σωστά, μου θύμισε τα συναισθήματα που μου δημιουργούνταν όταν νεότερη (προ εικοσαετίας) διάβαζα τα βιβλία του King. Η ατμόσφαιρα είναι εξαιρετική και οι χαρακτήρες αναλύονται στον βαθμό που πρέπει, χωρίς να γίνει η παραμικρή προσπάθεια να γίνουν συμπαθείς (παίρνουν όλοι ανεξαιρέτως από εμένα το βραβείο των πιο αντιπαθητικών μυθιστορηματικών ηρώων του 2020). Η πλοκή εξελίσσεται με τεράστια μαεστρία, οι σκέψεις των πρωταγωνιστών και τα όσα διαδραματίζονται περιγράφονται με μεγάλη προσοχή, ενώ οι αποκαλύψεις του παρελθόντος δίνονται ακριβώς τη χρονική στιγμή που πρέπει. Πραγματικά, πολλές φορές αναρωτήθηκα πώς θα καταφέρει να κλείσει αυτήν την ιστορία, αλλά τελικά όλα μπήκαν στη θέση τους χωρίς να μου μείνουν κενά.I was excited to read this ENTICING stand-alone from Steve Cavanagh, who is one of my favorite “legal thriller” writers, but unfortunately it wasn’t quite as good as the Eddie Flynn series.
