The Final Twist

A Colter Shaw Novel

By: Jeffery Deaver

Narrated by: Kaleo Griffith

Length: 11 hrs and 6 mins

Publisher's summary

"The master of ticking-bomb suspense" (People) returns with a devilishly good thriller, and reward seeker Colter Shaw's most personal case to date.

Just hours after the harrowing events of The Never Game and The Goodbye Man, Colter Shaw finds himself in San Francisco, where he has taken on the mission his father began years ago: finding a missing courier bag containing evidence that will bring down a corporate espionage firm responsible for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of deaths. 

Following the enigmatic clues his father left behind, Shaw plays cat and mouse with the company's sadistic enforcers, as he speeds from one gritty neighborhood in the City by the Bay to another. Suddenly, the job takes on a frightening urgency: Only by finding the courier bag can he expose the company and stop the murder of an entire family - slated to die in 48 hours. 

With the help of an unexpected figure from his past, and with the enforcers closing the net, Shaw narrows in on the truth - and learns that the courier bag contains something unexpected: a secret that could only be described as catastrophic. 

Filled with dozens of twists and reversals, The Final Twist is a nonstop race against time to save the family...and to keep the devastating secret Shaw has uncovered from falling into the wrong hands.

Critic reviews

"Jeffery Deaver’s action-packed ‘The Final Twist’ is a nail-biter...[it] begs for another visit with Colter.” (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)

“Jeffery Deaver’s The Final Twist lives up to its name admirably, even delivering said twist on the very last page of the book.” (BookPage, starred review) 

"[The Final Twist] is clearly the best of the series so far.” (Booklist) 

Did not enjoy.

Started too slow. It just seemed to drag on and on before it began to get half way good. Too many characters and plots Editing could have made the main story enjoyable. Story was almost schizophrenic-just all over the place. Don’t recommend.

not up to expectations

far to many side stories & with held information that tumbles out later in the story

DEAVER, WHAT'S HAPPENED??

Something has gone terribly wrong here. Jeffery Deaver could NOT have written this book. Somebody please explain!

This book is worse than horrible.

I read the reviews and I didn't believe them. Now I do. Unfortunately I can't return this book nor reach customer service. I started and stopped listening at least 5 separate times. There is just no getting through this truly, poorly written book. Also why does the narrator have an indistinguishable accent from time to time? There are so many things going on that at times I think that I'm listening to a different book. Dumb idea to put "treasures" in a frame and then give exact directions to some woman that you are friends of where to find them. What? A safe house is not a location that everyone is aware of. Visitors? What?

This is the worst book I ever tried to read/listen to. Appalling! Shame on you Jefferey Deaver, the publishing house, Audible, your writing and editing team for allowing this to go to press. What a waste of energy and money.

3hrs in

It literally jumps around so much its a chore to follow. I dont recommend.

Colter Shaw series not doing it for me

I've been a huge fan of Jeffery Deaver's past books including the Lincoln Rhyme series and his standalone novels. However, his Colter Shaw series are just not as good as his past work. I don't care for how he begins each one well into a reward search then jumps around in time to work back to the beginning. I could deal with that if the writing and story was as good as his past work but it just isn't.

not the bet not the worst kinda boring narrator ok

boring,
not the bet not the worst kinda boring
narrator ok thought it was slow

another deaver home run

typical deaver. takes you down several paths and gives you several dead ends before you finally start to figure things out. entertaining.

Loved book

The third book is the best. It takes the first 2 to give a complex family history and develop the characters. Wonderful insight into living off the land and being a survivalist. Throughly enjoyed.

good storyline

Good story, good plot,and narrator was very good . had a couple of moments that got a little slow but all books have those moments. I will read this again.
