The Final Twist by Jeffery Deaver
3.0
I’ve loved the Colter Shaw series up until now, even reading every Novella just to get my fix of a great lead character in a great new twist on what is a ultimately a very saturated genre. Unfortunately I just failed to connect with this book.
I’m really not entirely sure why that is. I continue to love Colter Shaw’s character arc, with the introduction of his brother and the continuation of his relationship with Victoria. But I think I was hoping for something a little fresh closer to the start (the new case was only introduced about a quarter of the way through). I appreciate that the backstory took center stage, and rightly so, but I think it could have been a little more balanced. Apart from that Colter seemed to fluctuate between extremes a little too much. From getting the wool pulled over his eyes and getting saved from certain death numerous times (the book 2 character seemed way unnecessary), to completely outsmarting and outwitting his oppositions on numerous other occasions.
Anyway, I am sure I will be back.
