The twins either died from drugs, had seizures due to withdrawal, or entered into some unknowable suicide pact. Fellow doctors at the time proposed a kind of Columbo killer mystery method that involved injecting poisons into the body in places where you would never find it, like a hemorrhoid. "I will tell you something: any smart physician could dispose of himself by a mechanism which could never be discovered by anyone, including his insurance companies," one of the doctors cryptically explained. "I have no evidence, but I know the way I’d do it if I were going to... I can tell you this: you’re not gonna find out."

Weiss: Follow the adventures of two best friends who are so close that they consider themselves like twins, sharing laughter and supporting each other along the way. What Alfred and Henry Newton did next is the subject of Peter Jacobs’ new book – The Twins: The SOE's Brothers of Vengeance – a story which sounds more like a Hollywood film plot than real-life events: two tap-dancing brothers who vow bloody revenge on the Nazis, join an undercover military operation, and have to survive the brutality of the Buchenwald concentration camp. Shakespeare was interested in twins. He included not one but two pairs of identical twins in The Comedy of Errors, as well as Viola and Sebastian in Twelfth Night. The latter are obviously not identical, but after Viola disguises herself as a man, they apparently become indistinguishable (some suspension of disbelief is required). This leads to all manner of comedic confusion. Of course, Shakespeare himself was also the father of twins, Hamnet and Judith. Hamnet died at 11, about five years before Twelfth Night was written, and this knowledge gives added poignancy to Viola and Sebastian’s reunion at the end of the play, each having believed the other dead.

The brothers, held in a low-level camp for their nuisance-causing antics, escaped over the Pyrenees mountains. They were briefly imprisoned in Spain before being taken to the British Embassy in Madrid. It was there that a military attaché told Alfred and Henry about their family’s deaths on the Avoceta.Their experience was perhaps typical of men who'd served in organisations like the SOE, which was disbanded after the war. The story itself is also fast paced, and full of fancy technology talk that I’ve come to love with the Fowl novels, without dumbing down the language for a younger audience. The writing overall also still retains a lot of humour, and is so easy to read. The threats and scrapes the boys get into feel realistic too, and the villain of the piece is great. Transported to Liverpool, Alfred and Henry were among the first non-armed forces personnel recruited into the Special Operation Executives (SOE). Along with the Commandos – which carried out raids in Europe – the SOE was formed in 1940 as part of an initiative by Winston Churchill. Overview: Okay so...this book surprised he hell out of me. There I was enjoying a great story between twins who are completely different with a bit of a mystery thrown in and then...BAM! That twist happens and I'm left with my jaw hanging. And I don't know why I didn't see it coming because it's a similar twist to my own psychological thriller series! Completely amazing and thoroughly enjoyable read.
