“Feeney lives up to her reputation as the “queen of the twist”…This page-turner will keep you guessing.” —Real Simple
Think you know the person you married? Think again…
Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife.
Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts--paper, cotton, pottery, tin--and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after.
Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget.
Rock Paper Scissors is the latest exciting domestic thriller from the queen of the killer twist, New York Times bestselling author Alice Feeney.
Reviews
Fast paced with a fantastic plot
5By Dollybolly1Never a dull moment. Great book!3.5 out 5
3By Opportunity of a LifetimeI enjoyed the fact the writer was able to set the scene. After having finished the book, I actually had a vivid nightmare because of how much my imagination was being worked up during the reading. I was able to figure out a few things here and there. So that is the only reason why I give this book a 3.5 out of 5. Had I not been so observant on those small but important details, I would’ve probably been way more shocked. Sadly I was only shocked once, and it wasn’t even because of the plot twists. While reading this book I had Ludovico Einaudi’s “Seven Days Walking” project playing in the background. It really heightened my experience with “Rock Paper Scissors”. There were some great moments that I have saved quotes of. Like the chess metaphor, or the butterflies and secrets metaphor to name a few. Page 156 made me chuckle.Edge of my seat
5By 736484929Kept my interest the entire time. Lots of twists!Entertaining
5By Aptly SaidThe characters show depth, and it’s a very entertaining journey! I thought it created a very eerie atmosphere- and I have been mulling it over for a long time. I loved it enough to go back and read it again a few months after our initial romp together out on the snowy, rural mountains of Scotland.Loveee
5By A_MV32Literally had my jaw drop a good amount of times! I couldn’t stop reading and i loved reading it from each characters point of view!Great read!
4By brock_zahlerI found this book to be the perfect kick start after a (very) long reading hiatus. It pulls you in and is a quick win at just under 300 pages. Loved the writing and the structure of the chapters and the twist at the end is great! Would highly recommend.A Plot Twist that actually feels like one!
4By RuoruoeWhat a thriller. The author definitely created a loop of suspense, with not only non reliable narrators but also multiple points of view which allow everyone to be simultaneously the villain and the hero. No one is trustworthy…. except poor Bob. There are moments of where you must suspend your disbelief, however all in all, the novel is a very pleasant read, and amazing for the thriller lover in all of us.Oof
5By CalyanJaeleI didn’t think I’d like this novel after reading the first three chapters or so. I felt like the author was trying too hard to leave each chapter as a cliffhanger. It felt very amateurish. Now that I’ve finished this TWISTY novel, I’m appreciative of the style and foreshadowing. This was really good and I say that as someone who reads a lot of “thrillers” and “suspenseful” books. I did not and could not guess at this one. It surprised me in many ways and there were so many truisms about marriage and relationships in here. Despite not being the intended target, this novel made me reflect upon my own relationship. To be blunt. I liked it a lot and you will too if you like suspense. Definitely plan to read more by this author.Rock, paper, scissors
