Fast paced action and great characters

This was my third Robotham book, but reading them out of order meant it was great to see Joe and Ruiz meet for the first time in this book and to see Joe cope with the news of his Parkinson's diagnosis. The first half of the book cleverly introduces all the key characters giving insight into their lives and backgrounds and then in the second half it is non-stop action as Joe lurches from one crisis to the next. You don't want to stop - you just want to find out what happens next! The narrator does a brilliant job with many voices and accents making it easy to relate to the different characters. A great read - highly recommended!!

A good read

Well written and unobtrusively narrated. Lots of twists, tension and plenty of jeopardy. Highly recommended

Gripping with a dash of annoyance

I loved this book, well most of it. It was gripping and twisty but some things irritated me, the wife was too perfect his colleagues reactions, at times, were implausible and I’m not sure I really like the main character but was I meant to? Aside from my grumbles I’m looking forward to the next book in this series

Really Good Read

Would you listen to The Suspect again? Why?

Yes. It was a really good story which held my attention.

What did you like best about this story?

It was a tale with a difference and I had no idea where it was going until the end - which I enjoy because I always try to guess the ending and this one caught me out.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

All of it.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was moved by the villain's background.

Any additional comments?

I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good thriller with a plausible and likable hero. The reader was good too.

brilliant narrator

loved this book, even if some of Joe's decisions were unlikely and irresponsible. the narrator was excellent and certainly contributed to the tension and human interest in the plot. and his accents and tone helped put a face and individuality to each character.

Great yarn

This was a really well constructed tale which made sure I was never sure how it was going to end up. The settings and the characters were all entirely credible. A psychological thriller well worth a listen!
