BOOK : TWISTED THREADS.
AUTHOR: Kaylin Mcfarren
REVIEWER: Ted Ike.
Vengeance may be sweet but it sometimes come at a great financial and moral costs. Sometimes it may also be harmful to other people who are either not the real enemies or have no hand in the wrong being avenged. So when considered in its entirety, vengeance is a needless venture.
The ten days trip of the Stargazer from
Fort Lauderdale in Florida was supposed to be a normal trip of a cruise ship. On board the ship were medical doctors who were supposed to be having seminars. But also on board are other passengers each with a different motive. There was Devon, an adventure seeking young man who took two weeks off from work to please his uncle Paul Lyon and his wife. Akira and Takashi Hamada were there to avenge the murder of Keiko who was supposedly killed by Sarah Lyon and or her husband in alliance with Peter Bradshaw. Peter Bradshaw himself was another passenger whose motive was not clear. Was on board as a participant in the medical seminar holding in the cruise ship or just to accompany his patient Sarah Lyon who could not do without him to the chagrin of her husband Paul. Yuki was on a mission to kill Akira so she could become heiress of the Mitsui-san's organisation. There was also the Watcher who was on board to kill Bradshaw and other enemies from the dark past. Even the ship's crew are not left out as some of them have their own reasons for being in the ship as against their official employment. The author was able to skilfully twist the stories of these people into the Twisted Threads.
Akira's initial plan to seduce Devon so she could get information from him as to who the actual murderer of Keiko was failed as she ended up falling in love with him to the consternation of Takashi, her supposed father in the ship. At the end, the Watcher got his revenge. Having avenged the murder of Keiko, Akira surrendered the position of heiress of the Mitsui-san group to be with Devon her new found love. However, all these cannot be compared with the emotional trauma and losses suffered by other innocent passengers who have had their lives shattered beyond repairs.
This romantic thriller was suspense filled. The author was able not only to carry the reader along, but also kept him interested in the plot as the story unfolds, although some Japanese sentences were not explained. In Nigeria, we have a brand of tinned fish in tomato sauce that is called geisha. I never knew until now that geisha refers to a Japanese female entertainer.
The book was well written and I did not notice any typographical or grammatical errors. I rate the book 3 out of 4 and recommend it to youths who love to read romantic and adventurous thrillers.
