The Third Twin by Ken Follet

The Third Twin was published by Ken Follet in 1997. Even though I read this book a decade after it released, the concept and technology that forms the key plot of this book felt way ahead of time.

Dr. Ferrami is doing genetic research at JFU, specifically on what is born in us and what is our own choice. She comes across identical twins born to different mothers, while one is a good student, the other is a rapist who attacked her friend.

As she digs deeper, she find a much larger conspiracy around purity of race and involving powerful people who will stop at nothing to keep a secret that she is trying to bring to light.

Dr. Ferrami faces enemies on all sides and it doesn't help that her superior at the University is one of the conspirators of the plot. She will struggle to make sense of evidence that doesn't make any sense and while she likes the twin who is a student, how can she be sure of him when he is identical to a rapist and even has matching DNA.

The perfect couple - Nantucket mystery

Do you enjoy books that can transport you to a different place? Would you like a glimpse into the lives of the very wealthy of Nantucket island? Would you like a mystery where not only you cannot figure out what happened, most of the characters also don't?

The Good Girl by Mary Kubica

This book caught my eye because the lady on the cover looked like Daenerys Targaryen but this book turned out to be an unexpected thriller. The Good Girl was written by Mary Kubica in 2015.

Mia Dennett's date stands her up and at she meets Colin Thatcher in the same bar. Only later does she realise that bringing him home for a one-night stand was a mistake for several reasons. He kidnaps her and hides her in a secluded cabin in the dead of winter.

Her mother Eve and detective Gabe stop at nothing to find her. This ordeal causes emotional complications for all the characters, that no one could have foreseen.

No time for goodbye

No time for goodbye was written by Linwood Barclay in 2007. It is a thrilling mystery that unravels layer by layer and you will mostly not be able to guess what really happened until it is unveiled by the author.

When Cynthia was fourteen years old, she woke up and her family (mother, father and brother) had vanished without explanations. She is pitied and also suspected but she finally moves on.

Twenty five years later, Cynthia is living with her little daughter and husband Terry when the past returns to the present. Inexplicable things happen around her and amidst mounting paranoia and fear she finally learns the truth only to wish she hadn't.
