Twisted by Maggie Giles
5.0
On the same night that Detective Ryan Boone is called to a jewelry heist, Mel Parker, the head of a not quite legal escort service, finds a girl beaten and bruised on the street while she walks home with her friend Jackie. Mel discovers a pill bottle in the girl’s purse, and she finds herself pulled toward figuring out their source. Detective Boone finds the same pills at the scene of his robbery, and he begins researching their source as well. As Mel and Detective Boone’s paths begin to cross, the truth behind the pills starts to come into focus.
I loved the moody noir-esque atmosphere of this book, and felt instantly connected to all of the characters’ points of view. I had so much fun trying to unravel where the plot was headed, and struggled to put the book down. If I could have, I would’ve devoured this in one setting. There’s not much more I can say without spoiling what happens, but fans of psychological thrillers with noir and police procedural vibes will love this book!
I do want to point out that THIS IS THE FIRST IN A DUOLOGY. I was shocked when I got to the end and it ended on a cliffhanger, so know that going into it. I can’t wait to read Wicked next year when it comes out, but don’t expect to have all of your questions answered at the end of Twisted.
