Skewed

Written by Anne McAneny

Narrated by Emily Sutton-Smith

No birth announcement could top the headlines from the day Janie and Jack Perkins entered the world. As twins born to a mother in a coma—courtesy of a bullet from their father—the sensational story of their birth never quite died down. While Jack still craves the flash of a camera, Janie seeks sanctuary behind the lens—as a crime scene photographer.

Thanks to Janie’s line of work, she’s comfortable around gruesome murders. But when old photos of her mother’s body arrive in the mail, they open deep-seated wounds and raise chilling new questions about who was really responsible for that deadly night.

Did Janie’s father spend decades in jail as an innocent man? Did an infamous serial killer actually take her mother’s life? With photos in hand, Janie brings the truth into focus. But when her investigation ends up invoking the wrath of the long-dormant killer, she must race to piece together the final evidence—before she becomes the target.

[belana-990668 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book convinced with a logical and great plot, great characters, and great language. I listened to it whenever I got a chance, it's one of those books you can't put down, or, in this case, switch off for long, and then only under protest. The ending came as a surprise, I never saw it coming, and I had to wait until the very end for the solution.

The narrator did a good job, although I had some trouble understanding every word. I looked some passages up, my impression was, that the enunciation could have been better. However, I really liked the voice of the narrator, so all in all, it was an enjoyable listen.

Grady admits to accidentally shooting his pregnant lover Bridget Perkins, but only because there was a third person - "the Haiku Killer" - trying to kill them both.
A month later twins Janie and Jack are born.
Part of the story is the last day of Bridget, and the other the tale of Janie, 30 years later as she tries to find the Haiki Killer.
