Crime, Mysteries & Thrillers discussion

Just ordered a paperback copy of the book..as soon as it arrives I will read and post, hopefully the thread will be up and running by then,

Well got the book yesterday and about 1/4 way through and am really enjoying so will start posting some observations very soon

Twisted has been a real revelation to me, I thought it might be ok but I am really enjoying now just over 50% through and I am not going to discuss in detail until I finish...but please anyone who has read do post..anyone thinking of choosing a book for this month to read and discuss please give Twisted a go! If you would like to read a book/author that is in my opinion a cut above for example Patricia Cornwell (no offence to Mz Cornwell) then give Andrea Kane and the excellent Twisted a go...

Great Jenni...this book has really surprised me and I hope to post some really positive reviews/threads later in the week

almost ready to review has anyone else read Twisted? you will be delightfully surprised I shall fully review in a few days..

I have this on my list at the library, really hoping that my copy will be ready soon!

Loved the book loved the characters and could not put down until I had finished...let's hope we have a few join in the conversation/debate..here's a link to my review..

I am about 100 pages into Twisted.I am caught by the premise and the characters. There is enough mystery to keep me reading. My only less than positive reaction is to the "gang" thread. I'll keep reading and see how it all ties up.

Don't let the "gang" thread worry you..it's secondary to the main plot...which I felt was very balanced and hugely enjoyable! (love that word hugely:))

Just finished this novel. It was disappointing. The author created a weak villain and also a weak lead in Sloane Burbank. I also felt the author didn't push herself enough to challenge the protagonist. It was all easy in the end. My rating 3/5.

Perhaps I have read too many of these type of books - but half way through, I knew who the killer was. That is always a disappointment for me as I love to be surprised. I like the Sloane character, but I found her relationship with Derek to be perfunctory, no real passion even though they said the right words. I would give the next Sloane book a read because I feel she has potential.

I did guess the killer as well Vicki...but I thought the way he was described and the horror and murder he was trying to inflict due to his twisted mind..was top notch!

I thought this was pretty good. I had a pretty good idea who the killer was...or so I thought until about 3/4 through the book. The story reminded me a little of an early Patterson book. I liked it overall. It's been so great to be part of this group and to read new authors!

I will have to get this one soon. Took a break and am reading Impulse by Steven Gould. Sci Fi first book was Jumper. Ill have to grab this one next!
