How about "Presumed Innocent" by Scott Turow? One of the most jaw-dropping plot-twisting endings I've ever read. Wonderful novel!

SJ Watson's Before I Go to Sleep. How did that one not make the list?!
The life of Pi by Jan Martel. Couldn't close my jaw for days.

And Then There Were None. My all time favorite, Christie's masterpiece!

Rebecca is one of my favorites, too. I totally did not see that coming!
The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson and 100 Summers by Beatriz Williams
Point of Impact by Stephen Hunter! My favorite thriller by far.
Ender's Game "plot twist" is so predictable it can barely be considered as such.

Keiry wrote: "Jane Eyre is on this list? Interesting..."In the time it was written - it was a real plot twist.
The Light Bringer series by Brent Weeks. Lots of them in The Blinding Knife which is book two, but the plot twist a third of the way through the first book makes the series. Also The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. The second book currently has the most, but wow!

The movie gives subtle ..."Steven, I had no idea how many books were named "Skeleton Key". Oh my goodness! The reason I didn't remember the author is because the book doesn't list on. The movie came out so of course they made a book from it. I read the book before seeing the movie.
The book is featured by Universal Studios. The cover shows Kate Hudson holding a key while there seems to be fire all around her. The ISBN # for the book is: 1417018543
I hope this helps, cause it's a great book.
Skeleton Key is an awesome movie with a great twist ending.

Weird, I can't find mention of the book anywhere. I even tried googling the ISBN...
I can't find it either, Nitzan. Usually I can find all books on goodreads.
The Skeleton Key. Is this the one?
Cosmos wrote: "I can't find it either, Nitzan. Usually I can find all books on goodreads.The Skeleton Key. Is this the one?"the movie was written by Ehren Kruger. I don't see anywhere where it says it was based off a book. also the plot seems very different.
Susan wrote: "No one mentioned Code Name Verity?"Oh god, that one completely shocked me. And I was reading it on a bus with a bunch of my classmates going to Milan (I was on exchange) and I was sobbing at the ending.
The Red Queen had a twist that I didn't see coming. But then afterward I felt stupid and that I should have seen it coming.
The Red Queen had a twist that I did not see coming. Although afterwards, I felt stupid that I didn't see it coming. So I am not saying it is the most shocking. Others probably figured it out beforehand. I often do that, but not this time.
