I am delighted to be sharing my review for Twisted by Steve Cavanagh. Steve’s previous book Th1rt33n was an absolute corker of a read, and I will say that if you think Twisted will follow the same path you will be mistaken, instead Twisted is a very different animal indeed!


BEFORE YOU READ THIS BOOK
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THREE THINGS:
1. The police are looking to charge me with murder.
2. No one knows who I am. Or how I did it.
3. If you think you’ve found me. I’m coming for you next.
After you’ve read this book, you’ll know: the truth is far more twisted…

Well how to even start a review of this book… the title… Twisted, yes it certainly suits the book. It is Twisted and full of twists from the synopsis and the 3 things you should know right through until the end. There is a murder, yes the police will charge the murderer even though they haven’t got him yet, they don’t know who it is, and the real twist is that if you discover who the murderer is then you are the next victim… Right keeping up so far?!!!! Good!
Open the cover of the book and the title page reads Twisted by Steve Cavanagh, the next title page…What! Wait a minute! Two Title Pages! haha yes there are two of them and it reads… Twisted by J. T LeBeau who the flaming hell is J.T LeBeau? The next page I came across was an Author’s Note that was very intriguing and signed by the author LeBeau. This is the start of a deceptively clever book that me turning pages as it gradually pulled me further into it’s plot.
What to tell you about the story! Well, I am going to use a line from the authors note at the beginning of the book “From here on in, don’t believe a single word you read.”, as I write this I am sniggering because as I read the line at the beginning it wasn’t till the end that I realised how prophetic it would actually turn out to be!
This is supposed to be my review or my thoughts about a book I have read, but it has left me at a bit of a loss for words. I wont tell you anything about the plot or the characters for fear of spoiling the story. So instead I am keeping this very simple…
This is a ‘twisted’ murder, mystery, crime, thriller read with a ‘twisted’ psychological kick to it. It is deceptive, clever at times bloody and at others times jaw-dropping when you you come across the twists. It blind sided me on occasions and now I have read the book I can see the whole picture a little more clear… which means maybe I now know the identity of J.T LeBeau 😱 or do I?😉
This gets a highly recommended from Me! 🙂
Many thanks for reading my post, a like or share would be great 🙂 xx

Oooh this sounds good! Your review makes me think of Iain Reid’s books – I didn’t know I enjoyed psychological thrillers until I read them.
