The Only Suspect: A 'twisting, seductive, ingenious' thriller from the bestselling author of The Other Passenger

Product Information

If you love mysteries where nothing is quite what it seems and every character has a secret to guard, then this is definitely the right book for you! That's until Beth announces the creation of a nature trail on a local site that's been disused for decades and suddenly Alex is a changed man.

Louise Candlish has written a good novel but I do think it could have been a great novel with a few minor tweaks.

Alex is living his best suburban lief with Beth until the creation of a nature trail is announced, threatening to expose decades-old secrets.

Het leest supervlot en de afwisseling tussen het heden en het verleden vond ik echt goed in elkaar steken (vooral het verleden vond ik heel erg interessant). The Only Suspect has a few decent twists and a plot with great potential but, unfortunately, it just fell short of the mark. In the beginning I was wondering what's the connection to these two men for the now storyline and soon we learn that there are many secrets buried in the past that will be unveiled. The storyline is complex but very clever, and although there are many twists, there’s one in particular that blew me away, I just never saw it coming. There’s just something about how Candlish does it, the sudden twist of the plot completely out of the dark which leaves you speechless.

When the waste ground behind his house is approved for development, it spells trouble for Alex, who is hiding a big secret – but what? As always Louise Candlish has written a taut, unsettling, compulsive and ingenious novel with gasp-out-loud twists and fatally flawed characters forced into tragedy by circumstances.
