Review: Twisted Rock

✩✩✩✩

Losing her husband in a small plane crash last year has forced Rose to get on with her life. But when a storm rolls in, her world is shattered with the discovery of a body buried deep within her own walls. Now, as all fingers point in her direction, a mistress steps out of the shadows, along with a dark family scandal that might shed some light on motive. As people around her drop like flies, the real killer gets too close, and Rose seeks the help of the police officer who knocked on her door one rainy night a year ago.
Royce Sawyer is the cop who’d had to tell Rose that the love of her life was gone forever. Seeing the pretty blonde’s struggles for the last year has been heart-wrenching, but when everyone starts to suspect the quiet wife has a dark side, Sawyer finds it hard to keep his personal feelings separate from his professional ones, especially when it’s obvious that someone’s out to stop him from getting to the truth.

Review: Twisted Rock is a great book - up to a point. The suspense is good and the romance is sweet, but towards the end the plot thickens so much that (1) it's difficult to keep track of everything that is happening and (2) it becomes a bit unrealistic.

There are a few interesting twists and turns, some of them virtually unexpected, but in light of all the open plot lines, their impact is diminished.

Overall, 4 stars for keeping me entertained and curious about how it would end, but I felt Twisted Rock fell short of its full potential.

Happy readings,
