In the 1990s Oxford’s dreaming spires become a killer’s secret playground.
It begins when Joshua finds the girl shivering in the stream, clutching a severed hand. Then he is plagued by the same nightmare – someone is coming through the corn, getting closer, eager to kill.
This is Tommy Ross’s first murder case and he has no idea how to solve it. How do you find a killer when you can’t even find the body?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jenny Twist was born in York and brought up in the West Yorkshire mill town of Heckmondwike, the eldest grandchild of a huge extended family.

She left school at fifteen and went to work in an asbestos factory. After working in various jobs, including bacon-packer and escapologist’s assistant (she was The Lovely Tanya), she returned to full-time education and did a BA in history, at Manchester and post-graduate studies at Oxford.

She stayed in Oxford working as a recruitment consultant for many years and it was there that she met and married her husband, Vic.

In 2001 they retired and moved to Southern Spain where they live with their rather eccentric dogs and cat. Besides writing, she enjoys reading, knitting and attempting to do fiendishly difficult logic puzzles.

Since moving to Spain she has written four novels and numerous short stories.

Four of her books have been given 5 star reviews by the esteemed review site, Readers’ Favorite.

In July 2018 she was awarded the coveted TOP FEMALE AUTHOR award in Fantasy/Horror/Paranormal/Science Fiction by The Authors Show

5.0 out of 5 stars A gift for character!
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2022

To me, one link between all of Jenny Twist’s novels and stories is a kind of otherworldliness, fantasy maybe, science fiction sometimes, but maybe “magic” is a word that covers all of that. There’s a touch of magic, in its eerie aspect, in this murder mystery too, in one character’s dreams. Another thing that shows up in everything she writes, I think, is a distinctive and understated sense of humor.

But another ingredient that’s always present in her fiction is vivid and memorable character. I found all the people in “A Gift for Murder” to be very true to life, and one of them especially real: the young detective Tommy Ross. I can hardly wait to see him in action again, in his next case!

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterfully written and highly compelling
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2022
Once again, the brilliant Jenny Twist has created a piece that showcases her incredible skills of plot and character development. Drawing on her experiences in Oxford and Cambridge, and her particular talent for slow-building horror, A Gift for Murder leaves no detail overlooked. I was simply floored by this novel and the mystery within -- it was a compelling, fast-paced, delightful yet dark read of lifelike characters and their poignant stories. For each of the characters in the ensemble of protagonists, Twist communicates a real sense of “There, but for the Grace of God, go I”. A Gift for Murder pulled me in and kept me guessing, right to the thrilling end.

Another cracker from Jenny Twist!
An engaging mystery populated with likable characters. Kept me guessing until the nail-biting climax.
If you like murder-mysteries....and possibly even if you usually don't....I would heartily recommend this book.
