Can you recommend books with a twist?

[Chocwocdoodah]

No particular genre (though not a sci-fi fan). I really liked The Little Stranger if that helps but hated Gone Girl (no likeable characters, too far fetched) and didn’t believe Apple Tree Yard right from the off when she just went off and shagged him within 30 seconds of meeting.... Also can’t deal with stories where horrid things happen to children!

A children's book but I liked Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz

This kind of is Sci Fi but it has a great twist: Here and There by Joshua Scher

Jeffery weaver books are good for twist, crime/thriller

Also dark places is a good book, by the same author as gone girl but a million times better in my opinion

That should be Jeffery deaver sorry

Have you read any Harlan Coben?

Gone but not forgotten
Phillip Margolin

The Girlfriend by Michelle Frances. A real twisty turny book that was easy to read and had me hooked in straight away, which is rare.

Have you read Fingersmith?

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie.

"Atonement" by Ian McEwan

Atonement by Ian McEwan. Not that I like the book - the ending makes me annoyed and most of the time I wanted to slap Briony.

Second 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd'. But if you read it knowing there's a twist you won't get the element of surprise!

Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult. Or anything by her really, she's an exceptional author. I would second Jeffrey Deaver too, but do the series in order, first book is the bone collecter.

Another vote for Jeffery Deaver and Harlan Coben! Gripping and always twisty!!!

Agree with 'Fingersmith' - even after you read it for the first time, you can still enjoy it on subsequent reads as 'knowing' makes it even better. Fabulous book.

Totally disagree on Jodi Picoult though - writing by numbers.

'We are all completely beside ourselves' is another option.

The secret keeper by Kate Morton- it’s a long book and it takes a bit of time to get warmed up but is worth it and had a fantastic twist I didn’t see coming!

The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult. Fantastic book - what a twist! She's a great writer.

'We Need To Talk About Kevin' by Lionel Shriver

I thought 'Between you and me' was brilliant, great twist but reading reviews a lot of others saw it coming I certainly didn't

We are All Completely Beside Ourselves

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

My sister's keeper - different ending to the film if i remember rightly

A court of thorns and roses by Sarah J Maas.

Totally unputdownable

Loved it

The Magpie Murders by Anthony Howowitz , quite the most ingenious and unusual plot I've ever come across, satisfyingly long, giving 3 days of cant-put-it-down pleasure.

A Traitor to Memory - Elizabeth George. Absolutely brilliant
The veteran - short story by Frederick Forsyth.

Leaving Time is another twisty Picoult I enjoyed.
