The Third Twin

Ken Follett

3.55 AVERAGE


I’m a Follet fan. The book mixes science, money, secrets and politics. A fantastic story line but a rushed ending that wasn’t sewn well. Too many loose ends.


I like his historical fiction more than his thrillers, but that may be because this book centers around a violent sex predator.

The Third Twin was mind blowing. This story is about researcher working on a study who creates a computer program to search databases to find matching information and therefor help her find twins that were not raised together. The study is on twins who do not grow up together to see if their similarities are based on nature or nurture. She decided to run her program on police databases to find pairs where one had been in trouble and hopefully the other had not. This would help support her thesis. What she ended up finding was so much more and almost cost her her whole career. There were some very powerful men involved who would rather get rid of her than have their secrets come out.
