Hairpin Bridge by Taylor Adams - crime thriller
One book-four characters- one of whom is already dead. Three months ago Lena’s
twin sister Cambry was found dead, looking like suicide having thrown herself off
a bridge on a disused road. Lena is convinced that she would never have done
that. Although they had been estranged for a year, her twin was someone she
knew inside out. She arranges to meet the highway patrolman who discovered
the body at the bridge and find out more, much more than she ever
anticipated. Wow! I was very quickly drawn into this, it is brilliantly written
and a real page turner. Alternate chapters give us Cambray’s last hours then
with Lena at the bridge and Lena’s diary. A simple concept on the surface
but an ingenious, very well thought out plot. Part reminded me of “ Duel”
the old Dennis Weaver film for those old enough to remember it.
A stunning read and one very much to remember.
