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!

Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris

Before I go to sleep SJ Watson - loved it.
Behind the scenes at the museum - Kate Atkinson
A secret house of death - Ruth rendell
Anybody out there, the mystery of mercy close - Marian Keyes
Some lie and some die - Ruth rendell

This is short stories but all with a twist - mostly fun but one or two need tissues.

A twist in the tale - Jeffrey archer.

Bald water lilies by Michael Bussi. I gasped.

Erm, ^Black water lilies. Not bald.

Hide and seek. Murder mystery type book. It's very ripping and I finished it in a day!

Jeffery deaver does some short stories doesn't he, is it twisted and more twisted? They are a good start if you're wondering whether you'd like him or not

He said she said by Erin Kelly!

Also Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeny.

The Surrogate by Louise Jensen
The Sister by Louise Jensen

When you disappeared by John Marrs

Claire Macintosh books have an interesting twist

Loads of suggestions here - only ones I’ve read are Fingersmith and We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves but my memory is so crap I could probably read them again and have no idea what’s coming!

Definately fingersmith

Hang on, maybe I haven’t read Fingersmith - what’s the Sarah Waters one that involves a prison in some way? Someone’s in prison, or visits a prison or works in it or something? See, amazing memory....

Any Sydney Sheldon but especially The Other Side Of Midnight

The sarah waters one in a prison setting is affinity. Fingersmith is very good.

Affinity? Title doesn’t ring a bell....seriously, I’m amazed I can even remember how to read....

Engelby.

Alice and the fly

Power.

Just looked it up. Yes I have read Affinity Sounds like Fingersmith could be a good one for me then!

And thanks all - feel like I’m building a good reading list here!

Oooh I’ve just seen that a film version of The Little Stranger is coming out this year!

Just finished The Last Mrs Parrish. Excellent twist and highly recommend it. Not very high brow but a good read all the same.

The Wasp Factory.
