Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Jeffery Deaver, “the grand master of the plot twist” (Booklist), is back with more diabolical tales of suspense.

Deaver, author of the Lincoln Rhyme series (The Bone Collector, etc.), crafted first-rate thrills in the story collection Twisted. Here he presents sixteen more tales—including an all-new Lincoln Rhyme entry—spawned from his darkly brilliant imagination. From a stressed-out commuter to a death-row inmate, Deaver’s characters are never what they seem—and every jaw-dropping curveball he delivers is nothing less than “ingeniously devious” (People).

From AudioFile:

Three great narrators add drama to these quirky and satisfying short stories. Intricately plotted, with gut-wrenching twists and bone-chilling turns, Deaver's stories are about everyday subjects like a Westchester commuter and a poker game. "A Dish Served Cold," for example, is about a man living in terror of being killed by a stalker. The narrators use a variety of vocal techniques to add dimension to the characters. Boyd Gaines's vocal interpretations, in particular, add intensity to the stories. Skipp Sudduth and Frederick Weller both bring strong portrayals to their performances. Thumbs-up for both plots and presentations. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
