The Left-Handed Twin by Thomas Perry
5.0
Thank you, NetGalley for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest review!
I really enjoyed this book. I rarely give five stars, but this was a five-star read! It's #9 in the series and I have not read any of the previous books. It wasn't difficult or confusing to start at #9 as the back story is given as needed. But I am hooked and have #1 in my TBR pile right near the top. I have found a new series to enjoy! I'm a big fan of reading a series in order so I am looking forward to getting started with Jane Whitefield. It's going to be tough to avoid #10 when it's out if I have not made it that far yet, because of the ending of #9. Hopefully, I can get all the way through the first 8 books before 10 comes out!
Things I liked:
I really enjoyed Jane's perspective on life and how to live. Living in Western NY, it was cool to read about places that I am familiar with. Wegmans even got a mention! Jane is Seneca, which is not a viewpoint I usually encounter unless I seek it out. It was really fascinating to read about the traditional ways, stories, history, and Haudenosaunee legends and people. It makes me feel more connected to the land where I live and gives me a deeper understanding of the people and ways that came before. Pretty impressive for a mystery novel!
The plot kept moving, and there were twists and surprises along the way. The viewpoint shifted among the main characters but was not in the first person for anyone (which is good because I find that confusing when the perspective shifts and it's in the first person).
The ending!!!! Don't want to spoil it, but well worth the read!
Things I disliked:
I'm scratching my head on this one - I really enjoyed this read. I guess the only thing I disliked is that I haven't heard of Thomas Perry or read anything else by him before I read The Left-Handed Twin. So I disliked that I have been missing out!
