I may be twisted, I may be turned
Let me talk about the emotions churned
I may be twisted, I may be turned
Let me tell you the scenes savored…
Murder and stabbing
Acid and gagging
Face in bag gasping
Infant left starving…
The book has these enlist
I was in literary bliss
The police and the forensics
The chief and his instincts…
The blind were forgotten
Where the ego deafened
Deviants and psychopaths
Dependents and sociopaths…
Hushed were the words
Incest was the whispers
Wife was arrested
Rest were blighted…
I may be twisted, I may be turned
Tell me o’dear who was a friend
I may be twisted, I may be turned
Anna-Lou Weatherley was the author brilliant!!!
There are a few times when a book makes me break into a song and a dance. And this book did. I certainly did my jig, hmmm….. Not sure if any of you would dance to this beat. But the story calmed my thriller mind to the point that my niggles were silenced.
I could guess the murderer easily, but Anna-Lou’s writing kept my interested peaked. It was smooth, the chapters flowed. Even knowing the theme and the plot and the subplots, I couldn’t let go of the book.
My vengeant superwoman soul wanted justice, wanted the right killer caught. I had to get to the end in one sitting. I wanted to knock sense into the cops, I could see the evidence and yet they couldn’t…. Sheesh my brilliant mind and sheesh those dumb-boyos. 😂
Well, I think you can guess I loved the book, and the book loved me back…
I received an ARC from NetGalley and publisher Bookouture, and this is my journey into its pages, straight from the heart!!

Cedar Close has always been a nice place to live – a quiet suburban street where everyone looks out for one another and bad things don’t happen.
Until late one evening, when Robert Mills is found dead in his bedroom.
Downstairs, in their beautiful kitchen, his wife Laurie sits alone in the dark with her head in her hands.
She can’t remember the last few hours, but she knows she didn’t kill Robert.
The trouble is, no-one believes her…

great review, Shalini! I loved that song in the beginning. You should try to write it for all reviews.
Yesha 😂 I try but it comes for some books don’t know why… Rest of the time, I sit like a dumb bimbo with no thought.. 😂 😂
That’s normal. Sometimes I just stare the screen so much that screen might have started writing if it would be human and sometimes it’s peice of cake.

😂 I hope you can dream songs and write later.

I love when authors can still keep your attention even when you guess the mystery. I just saw that you are sick. Rest up and I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you ❤️ I am hoping to become better.. But flu has zapped my energy and my brain cells… So can’t read much.
Yeah, I can’t read much when I’m sick either. Great time to binge watch something.
Agreed… Planning to vegetate in front of Netflix
