I'd read more from Anne McAneny ( ) This book convinced with a logical and great plot, great characters, and great language. I listened to it whenever I got a chance, it's one of those books you can't put down, or, in this case, switch off for long, and then only under protest. The ending came as a surprise, I never saw it coming, and I had to wait until the very end for the solution. The narrator did a good job, although I had some trouble understanding every word. I looked some passages up, my impression was, that the enunciation could have been better. However, I really liked the voice of the narrator, so all in all, it was an enjoyable listen. Grady admits to accidentally shooting his pregnant lover Bridget Perkins, but only because there was a third person - "the Haiku Killer" - trying to kill them both. A month later twins Janie and Jack are born. Part of the story is the last day of Bridget, and the other the tale of Janie, 30 years later as she tries to find the Haiki Killer. Read all my reviews on http://urlphantomhive.booklikes.com Skewed had to grow on me. In the beginning I was intrigued, but although I never really got into the story for a while, it kept nagging me at the back of my mind wondering how it was going to end. Janie has been famous and followed all her life, but not for the right reasons. Her mother was the supposedly last victim of the famous Haiku Killer and killed while Janie was in utero . When Janie starts receiving photographs of the old case and the murderer, her father, is about to be released things will get complicated quickly, especially since he has always claimed to be innocent. This one really had me guessing until the end, and it has been a while since that happened. In hindsight one can see the hints that are being dropped, but that I didn't take on at first. The main character had a witty sort of sarcasm that I kind of liked. What I was not a big fan of was the second story from Janie's mother's POV which leads up to the murder but didn't add a lot to the story. But, all in all, a nice read that did take some time to get into but it does pay off in the end. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
No birth announcement could top the headlines from the day Janie and Jack Perkins entered the world. As twins born to a mother in a coma--courtesy of a bullet from their father--the sensational story of their birth never quite died down. While Jack still craves the flash of a camera, Janie seeks sanctuary behind the lens--as a crime scene photographer.Thanks to Janie's line of work, she's comfortable around gruesome murders. But when old photos of her mother's body arrive in the mail, they open deep-seated wounds and raise chilling new questions about who really was responsible for that deadly night.Did Janie's father spend decades in jail as an innocent man? Did an infamous serial killer actually take her mother's life? With photos in hand, Janie brings the truth into focus. But when her investigation ends up evoking the wrath of the long-dormant killer, she must race to piece together the final evidence--before she becomes the target.
