Book Description

September 30, 2005
Rescued after hours in the freezing water clinging onto the wreckage of her yacht, Clara Conner wakes up in Dover hospital with hazy memories of the accident that put her there. Patrick, her husband, is missing, presumably killed by the explosion that tore the Connemara apart. Haunted by shocking and violent images, Clara becomes convinced that Patrick was murdered and that she was attacked; but are these really memories or are they just trauma induced fantasies?

As Clara begins to sort through Patrick’s business affairs, she soon realizes that her husband had led a double life. He was involved with criminals and owed someone a lot of money. So when a mysterious man appears to be watching the house and following Clara’s every move, her fears for her own safety, and that of her twelve-year old son, begin to grow. Could this man be the attacker who killed Patrick and tried to murder her and does he want to finish the job?

2.0 out of 5 stars implausible ending, August 5, 2009
By 
This review is from: Twisted Things (Paperback)
This was a reasonably good read until the last few chapters, when an cliched ending failed to explain what had gone before adequately.
I was left disappointed as I had expected more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Twisted indeed!, December 21, 2004

HORAK (Zug, Switzerland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Twisted Things (Audio Cassette)
On an October night, contrary to her habit, Clara Connor accompanied her husband Patrick on their yacht, the "Connemara". That night, an explosion occurred, apparently caused by a gas leak ignited during the storm when the winds were gusting up to gale force. Clara miraculously survived the blast but Patrick died.

So why does Clara have recurring dreams of that terrible night, seeing a dark shape looming over her, an axe glinting as it swings towards her? Who is that shape in a baklava wielding the axe? Why couldn't Clara avoid the blow, the pain exploding inside her scalp and neck?

Together with DI Jonathan Fergus, Clara will have to wander a very twisted path indeed to understand what happened that night on the yacht. A well constructed suspense, a believable plot and good characters in this suspense story by Mrs Swindells.
