About this listen

A chilling story of hidden evil, The Third Twin is a heart-stopping, spine-tingling novel from master storyteller and author of Never, Ken Follett.

An Impossible Result
Jeannie Ferrami, a scientific researcher investigating the behaviour of identical twins who have been raised separately, uncovers a perplexing mystery: identical twins who were born on different days, to different mothers, in different places.

A Blossoming Love
One of the twins, Steve, is a law student. The other, Dennis, is a convicted murderer. Jeannie works with Steve on her research project and finds herself falling in love with him – but their world is shattered when he is accused of a monstrous crime.

A Terrible Secret
Jeannie cannot believe that Steve is guilty, but to prove it she will be forced to question everything she believes. And, as she digs deeper, she uncovers a terrifying conspiracy – one which the plotters will kill to keep hidden.

I love the story. It was very realistic. Ken Follett put so much research into his books. I couldn’t stop listening to it.

So realistic

Intriguing story with a late twist, well read, I always listen @ 0.9, seems more natural pace, I put this in the class of Jackdaws and Key to Rebecca

Different from Ken Follet

The worst mind numbing experience. Devoid of believable characters, plot or theme. It's a disappointing moment in the authors body of work.

Outstanding in its mediocrity.
