I finished listening to The Ice Twins, by S.K. Tremayne, last night. I enjoyed it--it was a little bit slow moving and repetitious at times, but suspenseful and unpredictable, which is exactly what I like in a thriller. Throw together an interesting premise (a year after one twin dies in a fall, the behavior of the surviving identical twin makes a mother question which daughter actually died), an unreliable narrator (mom), an isolated setting (a private Scottish island), and a strange little girl (the surviving twin), and the result is a twisty, compelling story.
I recommend this one--it's one of my favorite thrillers of the year (others being The Girl on the Train and The Kind Worth Killing). I especially recommend it at the current Audible sale price of $4.95.
