Twisted by name, twisted by nature! A writer writing about writers is a unique premise and just when you think you’ve figured it all out, there’s another twist. I enjoyed the character of Maria of how she developed throughout the story. The story took a while to get going, but once it did, it didn't let go until the end.

Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

A twisted murder mystery exactly as the title reads.

Highly entertaining with a good mystery running through

Would recommend

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy for an honest review

This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

Steve Cavanagh’s THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER is a gritty and thrilling novel that leaves readers on the edge of their seats! With tension building on every page, Steve Cavanagh will keep you hooked until the end. Cavanagh's intense writing captures the mood of the suspenseful plot perfectly.

The story follows an anonymous protagonist who's wanted by the police for murder. It's filled with mystery and drama as you race against time to discover the truth of who committed the crime. As the protagonist battles against law enforcement, they must uncover their identity while keeping themselves out of prison.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER will make you think, cry and stay up all night just to finish it. You will be enthralled from the beginning to the end, experiencing all of the plot twists, cliffhangers and cliff notes!

Steve Cavanagh is an exceptional storyteller who keeps you guessing and won’t give up any secrets until the very end. You will want to tell your friends about THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER as soon as you've read it! Lee Child is right – this guy is the real deal! Trust him.

I adore Steve Cavanagh's books and this one is no different. Once you starting reading this you won't want to stop. It's real addictive crime which will have you rapidly turning the page until it's over.

I was apprehensive about Twisted as I didn't particularly enjoy Thirteen but I'm really trying to clear my backlog of reviews so I went straight into it. This one is better. It's more interesting but there are a few moments where you really do get thrown out of the story because of something preposterous. I'm not sure if it's Cavanagh's style or if he and his editor just like the shock value. What I've realised, is I don't particularly like Cavanagh's way of writing so this will be my last from him.

This certainly lives up to its title, with twists and turns aplenty. At first it seemed fairly standard fare, but once a few big twists happened, I was hooked, and blitzed through it quite quickly. I think it would make an excellent film, too.

I nearly gave this a rare 5*, but I can’t quite put my finger on the little thing that’s making me hold off - so let’s say a solid 4.5* and a strong recommendation to others to read it.

I received a free ARC copy of this via NetGalley and the publishers in return for an unbiased review. This is very overdue, for which I’m very sorry - I hope the solidly good review hopes mitigate this a little.

Thanks very much to the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this title. Many thanks, Dave

Twisted by Steve Cavanagh - a fantastic thriller. Full of anticipation, gripping, fast-paced, this is definitely a book I will keep coming back to.

This was an excellent tense thriller. The storyline was brilliantly written and tense increased as the story progressed. With great characters the book was certainly a great read. I’ll be reading other novels by this author.

This book lived up to it's name that is for sure. The twists and turns in this book I did not expect and was blown away by this book I really enjoyed it.

Having read this author before and i thought this would be part of the eddie flynn series however it was re freshing that it wasn't.
I found this book quiet hard to read at times and have to say some one it was skimmed. Unfortunately.

Just not for me.

Wow what a book. Loved every minute of it and the twists and turns of the story keep you on the edge to the end! The characters developed over time and change the story. Would recommend this author and can’t wait to read more from this author.

After reading Thirteen I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book! I love everything about Steves writing and my word he did not disappoint.
I love how he can incorporate criminal proceedings in such an interesting way and really pull you in as a reader, every time I honestly can't get enough.
With the quick quirky chapters yet again and following Eddie Flynn's journey, he just keeps getting better and better. Highly recommend his books to everyone.

As always, Steve does not disappoint with this book. It's little surprise, as he seems to continuously set a high bar to reach, and simply pole vaults over it with ease every time. Another fabulous concept, great pace, and as twisty as any plate of spaghetti you will find in Italy. Steve is a master of this genre and I was already looking forward to his next book the moment I turned the final page of this one.

Well done - yet another corker!

Unfortunately I had to purchase a new Kindle device and could no longer access this book. I will come back and review if I read this in the future.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

J T LeBeau is a crime writer who is totally anonymous, not even his publisher’s have seen him. No pictures, no book tours, no book signings, just a new book each year delivered to the publishers. However, Maria Cooper thinks she’s discovered his identity and JT LeBeau is her husband Paul and he’s been keeping this secret from her , lying about who he is, what he does and more importantly, how much he earns.
To say anymore about this fabulous novel will spoil the absolute thrill of reading it. Once again Steve Cavanagh has written a truly ‘Twisted’ thriller.

This is a great standalone book from Steve Cavanagh, known for his Eddie Flynn legal series.

While I missed Cavanagh's fabulous Eddie Flynn, who is such a brilliant character, the characters here were fascinating in their own right. You don't really get to bond with any of them as there are so many "main" characters such as Maria, her husband Paul, her lover Daryl, the police officer sheriff Dole and his somewhat dysfunctional new partner.
The narrative is third person, unlike the Eddie Flynn books, so maybe that's why I didn't feel like I connected with the characters as much.

However, the plot is brilliant and one twist comes nice and early so you don't have too much time to anticipate and guess where it is going in advance of it actually happening.

Its a thoroughly enjoyable book with plenty to keep you engrossed. I did miss Eddie Flynn and his courtroom antics a little though.

Thanks to Orion and the author for this ARC.
