Twisted is a quick read, easily consumed in a few short sessions. The book also moves along at a fast pace, bringing the main characters on board quickly and efficiently. The premise is interesting: quiet Midwestern town, the shock of a pastor’s suspicious death, and the unraveling of secrets in a small community. The novel’s pacing and suspense are strong points, and the finale is appropriately shocking and “twisted”. While the plot unwinds and the bodies pile up, the writing is heavy on storyline, but light on character development, emotional depth, or any descriptive background which would build out the narrative.
