About this ebook

 DNA evidence doesn’t lie. Except when it does. 

When a man is murdered, DNA evidence identifies the killer. The only problem? He’s currently serving a life sentence for murdering the man's wife more than six years earlier. 

The medical examiner's office turns to forensic pathologist Bodhi King for help. But Bodhi's conflicted: he worked on the original case before his retirement. 

As Bodhi untangles the web of evidence, his quest for clarity calls his former colleagues' work into question and leads him down a treacherous path of secrets, lies, and violence. This time, his commitment to the truth may prove fatal. 

Twisted Path is the fourth book in the Bodhi King forensic thriller series by USA Today bestselling author Melissa F. Miller. 

Ratings and reviews

Feb 19. ARC sent back TWISTED PATHS by Melissa Miller Bodhi King series # 4 It seemed like we was observing Damon, the words from him penetrating us of what he had done. A kill, was not for money then why. Is the clue her husband, who was at a holiday department party. We know had another picture of Bodhi, with untamable wild curls. Sonny is telling him he was to go to court today testifying about the case,as a pathologist. Saul wants him to figure out how Tenley’s DNA wound up at Noor’s murder. Bodhi observing the people in the room, there reaction to the case, he was brought in as a consultant. The main question they have is how the DNA was at the scene and yet person was in prison. It is a puzzle and he will figure it out, giving the truth, regardless of what impact it may fall to anyone that may hurt them or friendship of what he finds I love her books the story flows, you know the characters. Especially Bodhi, he is a special unique person and even thru these pages we agree.. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

I enjoyed this book and give it 4 stars, but didn't find it as engaging as the previous books in this series. Plot was good but Bodhi King didn't feel as prominent in Twisted Path, and the characters of the detectives were pretty unlikeable. The idea of chimerism was intriguing and I wish that was played out a bit more. I feel invested in Bodhi, and hope the author lets him shine in her next novel.

Bodhi is asked to help on a case that seems impossible - the DNA of a man sitting in jail is found at a current crime scene. The man had killed the wife of the current victim many years ago, and Bodhi had worked on that case. The book shows you parts of the original case, as well as detailing the present one, and allows you to understand what is actually happening, even before Bodhi and the others have figured it out. Bodhi approaches everything with this logical mind, and a calmness I'm sure I would never have in these kinds of situations. I read this book in one sitting, couldn't put it down!
