Summary

'She would never have fit as neatly into the trunk of his own car.' An unmissable psychological thriller for fans of B A Paris's Behind Closed Doors about two families in crisis and a house swap gone terribly wrong Limerick, Ireland: Oscar Harvey finds the body of a woman in a car boot, beaten and bloody. But let's start at the beginning... Kate and Mannix O'Brien live in a lovely Limerick house they can barely afford. Their autistic son is bullied at school and their daughter Izzy wishes she could protect him. When she spots a gorgeous New York flat on a home-exchange website, Kate decides that her family needs a holiday. Hazel and Oscar Harvey, and their two children, live on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Though they seem successful, Hazel has mysterious bruises and Oscar is hiding things about his dental practice. Hazel is keen to revisit her native Limerick, and the house swap offers a perfect chance to soothe two troubled marriages. But this will be anything but a perfect break. And the body is just the beginning. Dark and utterly compelling, Twisted River is a riveting page-turner with a brilliant twist, full of suspense and atmosphere for fans of Paula Hawkins, Kathryn Croft and Lisa Hall
