More Twisted: Collected Stories, Vol. II

Alcuni racconti geniali, altri meno interessanti, ma nel complesso molto gradito, anche a me che di base amo molto di più i romanzi, magari lunghissimi ;)

More Twisted is a volume of sixteen tales of suspense by Jeffrey Deaver, including a previously unpublished Lincoln Rhyme story. Each of these tales, as the title suggests, has a twist. Most are set in modern times, but one is set in Victorian England and features Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. All are enjoyable, some are spine-chilling. An excellent read!

This book was great fun. Knowing that there was a twist to each story keeps you guessing. Some endings were predictable and others were definitely twisted.

Collects 16 short stories, each featuring a clever twist reminiscent of classic Hitchcock. In these stories, listeners are treated to a cadre of memorable characters, including a philandering husband whose wife fears that he'll be the victim of a knife-wielding maniac; a cop who finally catches his man, but is still troubled by the case ; and a salesman with something to hide.

I loved it! All the short stories were different, but also the same, since they all had that surprise twists. Makes me crave for more Jeffery Deaver books! :)

Some stories were totally predictable, but some were pretty fun and surprised me!

I absolutely loved this collection of short stories. So many twists! As usual, I put a review below with each story:

Chapter and Verse - Murder mystery. Really good one didn't see it coming and couldn't guess the killer. Wicked ending.

The Commuter - Serial Killer story. Again excellent story where the serial killer goes after a jerk of a man and makes his life a living heck. Superb ending.

The Westphalian Ring - Okay story about a robbery. Pretty interesting how things were calculated and the ending where the ring really was.

Surveillance - Excellent story about a thief who is put on surveillance. But the thief turns it around and does surveillance on the cops. Good ending.

Born Bad - Omg what a twist! Here I thought the daughter was bad show more the whole time.... Loved the story and the ending!!

Interrogation - Awesome story about a cop who got a murderer behind bars and talks to him about why he killed the women. The killer turned the tables on the cop and omg what an ending! I did not see that coming!

Afraid - At first you think it's a creepy story but it's not. A girl goes on a weekend trip with her new boyfriend. He isn't what she thinks he is. Great twist at the end. Who did she call? We will never know...

Double Jeopardy - Wow what a story! I did not guess it at all. A man is on trial for murder and the lawyer does everything he can to get him acquitted. Great twist at the end.

The Tunnel Girl - All I can say is, what a twist I did not see coming! It's a story about a girl stuck in rubble after a building collapses on her. There are people trying to save her with each agenda all of their own.
Awesome story.

Locard's Principle - Yay! A Lincoln Rhyme short story!!! Loved it from beginning to end. Was completely shocked by the killer and did not figure it out. As usual, the chemistry between Lincoln and Sachs was awesome.

A Dish Served Cold - Hilarious story about a man who thinks someone is out to get him and makes him paranoid. Or is he? Great story and awesome ending.

Copycat - Yup guessed the killer on this one. He did a lot of twists to throw me off track but I stuck with my gut and was right. Good Story/ending.

The Voyeur - Wow, did not expect the ending! Story about a neighbor who is worried about an attractive woman who has a peeping Tom. Things go awry and crazy and the truth is unbelievable.

The Poker Lesson - Story about an expert poker player gets swindled by a kid. Of course, there's a lot of swindling going around to keep it interesting.

Ninety-Eight Point Six - Great story of a salesman who happens upon a weird family situation when his car breaks down. A lot of accusing each other goes around and big surprise at the end.

A Nice Place to Visit - Lastly, a story about a detective who gets set up to kill the people he works with and to pay bribe money. Probably the least favorite of the stories in the book. show less
