APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Readers of the second book in Jeffrey Deaver’s Colter Shaw series, The Goodbye Man, will pick up right where they left off (and at a breakneck pace) with this action-packed follow up. Colter Shaw is what's known as a "reward seeker," helping police and private citizens track down missing persons for the reward money. In The Final Twist, the reward is personal, as Colter finally tackles the one case he's never been able to crack: the disappearance of his own father. With more than 40 thrillers under his belt, Deaver is a master at weaving intricate plots that grab hold of readers and refuse to let go, peppering in twists, turns and intrigue with a deft hand and skill to spare. Mystery and thriller fans need look no further for their next fix.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Part one of MWA Grand Master Deaver's subpar third thriller featuring professional reward-seeker Colter Shaw (after 2020's The Goodbye Man), titled "The Mission," includes the statement: "Time until the family dies: fifty-two hours." The explanation for this countdown comes out gradually. At a house in San Francisco, Shaw is looking for evidence his murdered father left behind about BlackBridge Corporate Solutions, whose machinations include flooding select neighborhoods with cheap drugs to drive down the price of real estate for predatory developers. His search almost proves fatal, and he narrowly escapes death from BlackBridge operatives when his estranged older brother, Russell, intervenes. A bad guy Russell kills carries a note indicating that a "kill order" has been placed on someone with the initials SP and SP's entire family. Neither the race to save those targeted within 52 hours nor the Shaw brothers' campaign to take down BlackBridge is as creative as the plots of Deaver's best work. The result is more familiar than surprising.

The Final Twist
Just loved this book. It was so worth reading. My first ever Jeffery Deaver - Colter Shaw read. You do need to read them in order though, because the previous book characters and story was mentioned in this book. However, I’ll just follow on from here. Highly recommend.
