Follow the intricate web of a killer sinister game in this thrilling novel featuring deadly puzzles

Dive into the intriguing story of Two Lists written by Thomas J. Thorson in which old crime secret researcher Vinn and Malcom are forced to re-engage in the unsafe world of crime detection again. Even the entire book can be seen through this lense complete in its tale on justice and how far a man is willing to go even if it crossing over the thin red thread of the law to attain it.

Their aim is to change the entirety of their activities to teaching only, leaving actual crime-solving entering the background. But Vinn and Malcom’s quiet retirement life is interrupted when Dr. Sanders, Vinn’s superior, comes and requests them to use their skills to uncover the circumstances of the death of his brother-in-law. This case, to their utter disbelief is in fact a mystery that is slightly more convoluted and complicated that they thought it would be.

Each day that goes by without any evidence, leads or any trace of connections that may prove useful for finding the killer only makes the search even more difficult. As complications increase bodies continue to pile up and every new murder site is darker than the former. Every terrifying picture with its profound differences but yet eerie similarities leaves unsettling thought does a serial killer escaped or there is a gang of psychopaths playing a deadly game?

Vinn and Malcom find out that they will have to take control of the situation maybe even immersing into the world outside the laws. They try to outrace time to protect the person they love like no one else from becoming the second sufferer while struggling for necessary drastic actions. Vinn and Malcom will save their friends life in the last minute? Will they manage to get through the dangers that are tangled up with this case? Or will the offender escape with a clean slate?

This ingenious crime thriller novel makes Thorson shine in a puzzle. Through all of his works his writing style can never divert the reader’s attention from the inner world of his characters their thoughts and feelings. Drawing on a well-conceived synthesis between fast-talking action and savvy dialogue, Thorson injects energy and suspense into the plot while also providing effective character and relationship development.

The best aspect that I like in Two Lists is to bring justice to light with courage and humor. Vinn and Malcom are creative and unique which makes the storyline plot very interesting by implementing the two lists theory.

Malcom is my best character. In spite of the notion that he was inferior to Vinn, he has his own unique intelligence and cleverness. Often his creativity acts as a north star in unraveling the complex mystery of this criminal case providing great help when it comes to its solution.

“Regardless of how sleepy she is, Vinn would definitely operate at just a fourth and a half of intellectual capacity than I would operate if I was in the full. I do it only in the hope that there will be something right for me in my head that makes me look like a genius in front of woman I love.”

Two Lists emerges from its powerful mystery, strong characters, and masterfully spun plot. Vinn and Malcom allows the complicated machinations of the story to flourish. Readers can read this book independently but I would advise people to spend the first book to gain a wider insight into characters and their origins. Meanwhile, I will be waiting for other works by Thomas J Thorson.
