Old or new give me the biggest plot twist...

[Twinpeaksdancingman]

I keep reading books recommended and they just don’t seem to pack the punch anymore...

Please can you give me your ultimate book, with the plot twist you never seen coming...

I may have read it but hopefully I haven’t and will gather a huge big library of exciting books to read

Wilkie Collins the Woman in White/the Moonstone

I knew there would be a plot twist, but I didn't guess it correctly, when I read The Silent Patient. I think being told beforehand that there is going to be a plot twist, really ruins the plot twist, but you know.

I also loved Before I Go To Sleep and Gone Girl, but expect you've read those.

Legend of a suicide by David Vann.

The twist comes like a punch in the stomach.

Gentlemen and Players.

Agatha Christie.

Especially The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, And Then There Were None (great audiobook of this on YouTube btw, it is 6hrs long though!) and Murder on the Orient Express.

I’m guessing you’ve read them all though, but I’ve not found any more recent books that catch me quite so unawares!

I've read quite a few of these and can't remember the plot twist! I am always surprised, even when I reread, as I have a terrible memory.

Fingersmith!
Absolutely great twist.

Thanks, a few on here that I haven’t read yet

Starve Acre

I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh

Oh yes, I enjoyed fingersmith.

The game of thrones books are so complex and full of constantly twisting plot lines. I’m thinking of going back for another read.

We were liars (E. Lockhart)

If you dont mind YA fiction....

I’m thinking of ending things

It’s such a great book too, not just shocking or twisty for the sake of it.

Endless Night by Agatha Christie

Every Last One by Anna Quindlan

Never let me go

Hit me right in the gut

Also - we need to talk about Kevin x

Definitely Fingersmith. The twist literally took my breath away. I've never had such a physical reaction to a book.

The Goldfinch

@CarlottaValdez - I didn't know it was a novel first. The film is extraordinary. I'd like to read it.

It’s great! I’d seen the film before I read it and still thought it was fantastic.

@cricketmum84 - agree on We Need To Talk About Kevin. I really didn't see that twixt coming at all (some people say it was obvious) I gasped in shock.

@Labobo I read it on holiday. Got to the end and sat up in shock staring at all these normal people milling around as if I hadn't gone through full on trauma 😂 no I never saw it coming either.

We need to talk about Kevin was completely unexpected for me too.

Also Affinity by Sarah Waters - quite disappointed her later books don’t have such spectacular twists.

Fingersmith

We need to talk about Kevin

Totally didn’t see either plot twist coming. Gripping books both of them.

Fingersmith for me too.

I'm going to look for some of the others mentioned here.
