An exciting and realistic thriller
I love a novel with a strong, distinctive voice and Spook doesn’t disappoint. B.A. Morton’s anti-heroine in ‘Twisted’ is Elizabeth Salander with a wicked sense of humour or perhaps an adult, female Artemis Fowl. But ‘Twisted’ is not child’s play nor is it as bleak as ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.’ Caught somewhere in-between, it is an exciting and realistic thriller, enriched with a smidgen of humour and set in the crime-ridden underworld of Newcastle.
When Miller’s bank robbery goes horribly wrong, he ends up dependent upon the manipulating and twisted Spook with the entire police force and most of the Geordie mafia on his tail. But like Spook, the enigmatic Miller isn’t what he seems. The two of them race through a plot with more twists and turns than a staircase in an inner-city skyscraper. They make a disturbing but strangely attractive team and the novel is compelling reading. Thoroughly recommended.
