About this listen
A seemingly ordinary book group holds deadly secrets in this collection of connected stories from Karin Slaughter, Lee Child, B. A. Paris, and more of the world’s leading thriller writers.
Dr. Margaret Richter has it all. She’s rich, thanks to her best-selling self-help books. She has a beautiful home in Cape Cod overlooking the beach. And she has a monthly book club that everyone is dying to get invited to.
Literally.
Because behind the crystal wine glasses, the fine linens and the catered hors d'oeuvres lies a tangled web of secrets, of deceit, of murder. No member of the book club is innocent—and many are guilty.
And the person with the most to hide is Margaret Richter herself.
With an introduction by best-selling author Jennifer Weiner, The Twisted Women’s Book Club was created in partnership with International Thriller Writers. Special thanks to Joseph Finder, Gregg Hurwitz and Kimberley Howe.
Full cast of narrators include: Lauren Ezzo, Stephanie Epstein, Jenn Lee, Brittany Pressley, Cindy Kay, Nancy Wu, Nicola F. Delgado, Emily Lawrence, Karen Murray, Adepero Oduye, Daniela Acitelli

Compelling
Great batch of stories with relatable characters - some predicable sections but overall entertaining and fun to listen to. Nice little plots twists.

Fresh outlook on mystery thriller writings
I wasn’t expecting it. I really thought okay let’s give it a listen because the writers were notable. However, I became fully immersed in the interconnected stories and was hooked from start to finish. It was fantastic had you thinking what’s going to happen next? For me that’s exactly how it should be when reading a mystery thriller. The narrators were excellent they gave life to the words. I wanna listen again, hope to see more like this.

Psychological thriller anthology
I love anthologies and to me this book is an anthology. Typically the anthologies I read are a series of short stories put together with a theme like horror, fantasy/sci-fi or a type of romance, like paranormal, each being a standalone short story. This anthology is a little bit different, these 17 stories are all linked together. None are standalone, so you can’t truly skip over a story. You have to listen to them all.
At first I didn’t think I would like it because some reviews stated it was confusing or that it was hard to find and follow the common thread, but in truth you don’t really have to pay that much attention. The main link is some sort of book club and the secondary link is Margaret, the therapist and self-help author. She is the link threading through nearly every story.
If you like psychological thrillers, then you will enjoy these short stories if you just think of each story as a chapter in the full novel. I am typically not a fan of psychological thrillers. However, I enjoyed these because they were short stories.
I found many of the main characters neurotic, some were paranoid, some were, for a lack of a better word, dumb, but all of them had a lot of psychological turmoil and Margaret was linked somehow. Nearly every story had a murder and/or a plot to commit murder.
There are a few of the stories that even though they link back to a book club, they don’t link to Margaret and come across more like standalone stories. “Name on the wind”, “Sandra finds a way”, “the beachcomer”, “such a good girl” and “a bottle of prosecco”, are some of these stories, that are very thinly linked, so if you pulled them out, you wouldn’t be missing the thread, but others feed into the Margaret thread.
I rated it four stars because regardless of how many lives Margaret trampled on and all the stories where people first thought she was great but realized she wasn’t and plotted her demise, nothing happens to her. She just becomes richer and carries on, sometimes even profiting from their demise and hardship. She foils every plan to bring her down.

Twisted us the perfect name
It’s bunch of short stories written by different authors but at the same time they all are connected- it’s easy to loose track of the plot

Some good, mostly bad
Likes: the various narrators were mostly good. Some read without pause like they were reading some extra long run on sentence.
Dislikes: this book is a series of stories all with the similar theme of murder, mysteries and secrets, etc., centred around a book club. The stories were unrealistic to the point of ridiculous in some cases, really boring and predictable in others, and overall very convoluted and disconnected.
