The story does deliver several twists and turns - some more clever and unexpected than others. This is the first book I’ve read by Alice Feeney, the purported “queen of the killer twist”, so I expected a plot twist or two. I found the anniversary letters to be rather dull and wanted to fast forward through the flashbacks. At least the first third of Rock Paper Scissors is painfully slow, making this thriller less thrilling than I’d hoped. Given all the 5-star reviews, I’m clearly in the minority here. Rock Paper Scissors is the latest exciting domestic thriller from the queen of the killer twist, New York Times bestselling author Alice Feeney.
