Twisted

By: Andrew E. Kaufman

Narrated by: Phil Gigante

The psychologist with a troubled past...

Dr. Christopher Kellan spends his days at Loveland Psychiatric Hospital, overseeing a unit known as Alpha Twelve, home to the most deranged and psychotic killers imaginable. His newest patient, Donny Ray Smith, is accused of murdering ten young girls and making their bodies disappear. But during his first encounter with Donny, Christopher finds something else unsettling: the man looks familiar.

The killer with a secret...

Donny Ray knows things about Christopher - things he couldn't have possibly learned at Loveland. As the psychologist delves deeper into the mysterious patient's case, Christopher's life whirls out of control. The contours of his mind are rapidly losing shape, and his grasp on reality is slipping even faster. Is he going mad, or is that what Donny Ray wants him to think?

The terror that binds them...

In this taut psychological thriller from Andrew E. Kaufman, best-selling author of The Lion, the Lamb, the Hunted, a tormented man must face his fear and enter the mind of a killer to find the truth...even if it costs him his sanity.

you must ride this rollercoaster

Any additional comments?

I love novels that take me on a mind-bending ride. Saying that, it is easy for me to notice the clues left by the author in books like this determine the “reality” the character has fallen into. Sometimes, they become so mundanely predictable, that by reading the last few pages, I know the story.

Twisted is so not one of those.

I wanted to know every single detail of the mind-trip on which Dr. Kellan finds himself. I mean, there’s recognition of a murderer transferred to his psych ward, for crying out loud. What is up with that?

The characters of Chris, his wife and son are so developed as to transport me into the mind of Chris and welcome the wildness. Especially when people start disappearing.

Excellent narration kept me listening all through a day of work and made the drudgery of everyday life simply fall by the wayside as I mulled over where the end would take me.

Twisted is definitely a recommended listen.

Excellent

This is my first experience with Andrew Kaufman and I must say the story line, the plot twists and the perfect narrator just made this such an enjoyable read I actually listened to it from morning to night, I just couldn't put it down

Confusion, befuddlement, fear

Those are the emotions I felt throughout the book. Twisted by Andrew Kaufman makes you think and rethink all the possibilities of what is really happening until you become the mentally unstable one.

Fun read

The story developed quickly, had great characters, had nice twists and left me wanting more.

Not bad

The main character frustrated and annoyed me; but given the nature of the story, that may well have been the point. Though the story ended several chapters later than it should have, I still liked it.
Narration was good, too.
