Twist of Fate: The Locket by John Saul
4.0
TW: Miscarriage, cheating, murder, uses of b-word and s*ut
*****SPOILERS*****
About the book:Jules Hartwick should be on top of the world. He has a distinguished career as president of the First National Bank of Blackstone, and his lovely daughter will soon be married. But his contentment is shattered: he's under investigation by the Federal Reserve--and that frightening audit threatens the financing of the Blackstone Center, which is slated to rise on the site of the old Asylum. And now, late at night, after a lavish dinner party, the Hartwicks receive a mysterious package containing a silver locket. Who sent it? Why? Jules has his own suspicions, as this second sinister gift unleashes a bloodcurdling chain of events...
Release Date: 01/29/1997
Genre: Horror
Pages: 86
Rating: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
What I Liked:
• The plot of this one was interesting
• The story flowed
What I Didn't Like:
• Story two feels similar to story one in a way
Overall Thoughts: I love that after Jules fides a mysterious box in Madeline's car that has a locket in it with a piece of hair his first thought goes to that she's cheating. Like no conversation nothing just she's cheating. So weird like maybe she has a creepy stalker she hasn't told you about. Or maybe it's just some weird or that's been watching her she didn't know about.
This was a good story. I love that everything is about this small town. I love that everything links together.
I feel bad for the all people that are involved because they seem like victims.
Final Thoughts: I keep thinking that this would make such a great Netflix show. You could do six episodes of the Blackstone Chronicles. It's creepy and fun and campy. Onto book 3!
