I didn't love this book. I listened to it on audio, so I thought maybe that was the issue, but I listened to The Last Word too and loved that one. I just felt like it was a little boring, despite it attempting to be non-stop action like their other books. I was really just more anxious to have this book done so I could move on to other ones. At the same time, it was good enough that I didn't DNF it. It's about twin sisters and one dies on a bridge and they think it's a suicide, but the twin thinks she was murdered. In the end, the cop was bad, but he also took over his twin's identity after he committed suicide. Just a weird story. There was a blog that Lena (the alive twin) was keeping. I got a little lost in the other people that showed up at the bridge between Cambry's event on the bridge and Lena's event on the bridge. It bounced back and forth, which usually I'm fine with, but I got a little confused in there. I still really want to read No Exit and enjoyed The Last Word. Maybe this is why I hadn't heard of this novel before I randomly found it on the Libby app. ( )

(2021) Very good thriller about Lena, a surviving twin, who tries to figure out how & why her sister Cambry died. It was an apparent suicide, but Lena finds too many incongruities. Leads her to interview the state trooper that found the body below the bridge. She quickly finds that Cambry was not only killed be this cop but by his serial killer father. Cambry, it turns out, had fallen for this cop who was unable to hide the killings from her that led to her jumping from the bridge. Lena manages to kill both of the killers and in the end rescues a young boy that had been thrown into a nearby well. Bookpage (Bruce Tierney):Twins are often said to share a special bond. That certainly seemed to be the case with Cambry and Lena Nguyen, until Cambry's unexpected suicide. At the outset of Taylor Adams' gripping thriller Hairpin Bridge, Lena is beginning to come to terms with her loss but still feels like there is something off about the official police account of Cambry's death. So she decides to travel to Montana to get a firsthand look at the bridge from which her twin allegedly jumped to her death. She meets with Corporal Raymond Raycevic, the officer who discovered the body; he is affable and forthcoming, but something feels strange about him as well. The pragmatic Lena is aware that she may be grasping at straws, as if wishing that the cause of her sister's death were something other than suicide might make it so. But early on, Lena discovers that Corporal Raycevic had stopped Cambry for speeding just a short time before she died. His glib explanation and wave-of-the-hand dismissal of this coincidence rings false to Lenaor, at the very least, seems incomplete. And so a game of cat and mouse begins, and readers won't find out until the final pages whether Lena is a grief-stricken fantasist or an exceptionally canny adversary (albeit one who is perhaps destined for the same fate as her sister). Hairpin Bridge reads like a Stephen King novel and is especially reminiscent of Misery in how the characters shape-shift as the narrative progresses, leaving the reader wondering who is more dangerous¥and more importantly, which one will prevail.

Ughhh…
Great idea, but predictable and very, very, VERY boring. ( )

This is a good one! ( )

Awful. Where did those stars come from? ( )
