Do you need an entertaining and action-packed book for your summer reading? This is it! A very realistically portrayed terrorist attack in an unusual setting provided me with a nerve-wrenching adrenalin rush. If you're into suspenseful thrillers, try this one on for size.

Martin Suter is a Swiss author, and his works came highly recommended to me by a couple of friends from that country. Normally I'm politely reluctant to read books that have been translated from German to English, even one that came as a gift as did this one, as many of them have turned out to be dry and somewhat disappointing, but this author's A Deal with the Devil is a diabolical tale was skillfully translated by British journalist and author Peter Millar. My friends had said that I wouldn't be let down, and I wasn't.

this is the 2nd book of the Matt Davis Series that i read after stumbling across this talented author. although As the Twig is Bent will keep you guessing, this book was much easier to stomach. i think i figured out the killer before i figured out which one the victim would be! fast paced, easy read, easy to relate to & identify with characters. looking forward to the 3rd book of the series to come out.

“Stevens’s blazingly brilliant debut introduces a great new action heroine, Vanessa Michael Munroe, who doesn’t have to kick over a hornet’s nest to get attention, though her feral, take-no-prisoners attitude reflects the fire of Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander….Thriller fans will eagerly await the sequel to this high-octane page-turner.” —Publishers Weekly, starred, boxed review
