From the acclaimed author of The Last Thing to Burn, a psychological thriller about the dark secrets that emerge when a woman’s twin sister is murdered, with his signature “intense, gripping, taut, terrifying, moving, and brilliant” (Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author) prose.
Sisters. Soulmates. Strangers.
Molly Raven lives a quiet, structured life in London, finding comfort in security and routine. Her identical twin Katie, living in New York, is the exact opposite: outgoing, spontaneous, and adventurous.
But when Molly hears that Katie has died, possibly murdered, she is thrown into unfamiliar territory. As terrifying as it is, she knows she must travel across the ocean and find out what happened. But as she tracks her twin’s final movements, cracks begin to emerge, and she slowly realizes her sister was not who she thought she was and there’s a dangerous web of deceit surrounding the two of them.
The Review
First Born by Will Dean
Right from the start of this thriller, I felt it was intended for a youthful audience.
We’re following a woman whose twin sister was just murdered. As the story unfolds we find there is a slew of possible suspects and everyone has something to gain and everything to lose.
The writing felt a little loose, and there were a lot of unnecessary details that led nowhere. It felt like the author was throwing things at me to see what would stick, hoping it was smart enough but not too much so.
The plot was pretty basic and clear, making it really easy to understand and follow. I was never confused and had fun guessing the twist. I think some readers will enjoy that and others definitely will not. I landed somewhere in the middle.
