Twisted by Steve Cavanagh

aceed18's review

Just couldn't get into this one at the time that i was reading it. I'm a big fan of the eddie flynn series so i thought this would be similar so thats maybe why i didn't connect with it as much. I may give it another go some other time.

Phew!
This was quite a ride, and i loved every twist and turn along the way. The title 'Twised' or in Dutch 'Verdraaid' says it all. The story of this book is great and how everything fits together is just amazing to think about. Steve did great with coming up with this.
Where i complained about a bit predictable books in the past this one took me totaly off guard and I kept being surprised with every achtion that took place.
Towards the end, there were some small things I found a bit annoying or easy, but overall I still rate it 5 stars. Honestly, a great book!

Another throughly enjoyable read by Steve Cavanagh. I felt the middle was a bit longer than it could’ve been, but the amount of twists was more than I’ve ever experienced before. I think my feelings for each character changed about 5 times throughout the book, and that’s the sign that it was fun to read!

I like the twist and the plot it was really great to read but personally I didn't like the detective parts where they would do the investigation.I found it quite boring and basic.It was the only part the was difficult to read through for me.
I liked the short quick chapter and diffrent perspectives.
If you would like to read this book definitely ho ahead and see what you think.It was definitely a twisted story

Maria is married to Paul and they live in a prosperous seaside town. Both are from New York and Maria, starting to get a little bored with small-town life, embarks on an affair with Daryl. Whilst Paul is away on business she discovers a statement that implies that Paul is a multi-millionaire elusive author. At this point Maria decides that she's had enough but not everything is at seems.
I have really enjoyed the Eddie Flynn novels by Cavanagh and he certainly knows how to write a twisty populist thriller. However I found this book rather irritating, it is almost as if Cavanagh decided to take the title as the theme and insert a twist of plot every couple of chapters, just as an exercise to see if he could do it. The book is the sort that would really entertain me if on holiday and wanting something not too demanding - an airport blockbuster!

Steve Cavanagh is a master of the twisty-turny, and it doesn't get any more twisty-turny than Twisted (as you might expect from the title). My goodness!
