This is a story of two families in crisis who decide that a family holiday will be the answer to their problems. Instead, Oscar finds the bloodied body of a woman in the trunk of his host’s car. The home-exchange holiday becomes anything but a perfect vacation.
I could not put this book down and devoured it in one day.
The plot is evidently designed to twist and turn. This psychological thriller covers love-affairs, deadly revenge and family secrets.
Secrets are gradually revealed as the author takes us chapter by chapter through the lives of the four main characters, building up a story that will both intrigue and horrify the reader.
The pace of the book steadily increases and I became completely immersed in their lives and those who surrounded them.
Overall, definitely recommend for fans of psychological thrillers.

probably 3.5 stars. compelling enough that I read it in a day but I found the back a little misleading in that I was expecting an unknown victim.

Hmmm...I'd almost give this one a 2.5 star rating. Something that was building up steam all along, and marketed to be like "Girl on the Train, like Before I Go To Sleep", sure did fizzle out and come to a dull and pretty abrupt ending. There wasn't so much a shock to the end but more of a That was it? After all of that? That's the end? It certainly left a whole lot of loose plot points left unraveling and spinning out in the air. Not a bad read, but one filled to the brim with the stereotypical abusive, cheating, controlling and jealous men and the pathetic and desperate wives that love them. I don't know...I think it's time to put an end to the "if you liked Girl on the Train" books and plot. I know I'll be finished with this kind of thriller style read for a little bit now.

Sometimes I don't know why I bother finishing a book especially when its so all over the place as Twisted River. I really found this difficult to follow and remember which minor bits of information I'm supposed to be bothered about as there sometimes seemed to be so many minor storylines and minor characters in the book that my poor tired brain just could not be bothered with it.
I can't recommend this book as I can't think of anything I really liked about it except for the descriptive nature of the author when it came to talking about the town.
