Publisher's summary

Acclaimed author Michael Robotham conquered international best-seller lists with this electrifying thriller.

After a woman is brutally slain, investigators bring psychiatrist Joe O'Loughlin in for expert consultation. Joe is shocked to discover the dead woman is a former patient of his who cried rape when he rebuffed her sexual advances. Citing doctor/patient confidentiality, Joe hides this information. But the truth emerges, and suddenly he is the prime suspect.

I'm loving Robotham!

Would you listen to Suspect again? Why?

Absolutely! I love his writing style, the narrator and just plain great story. My first was Say You're sorry. It was so good I went to #1 to start from the beginning. I find myself listening at every opportunity and then so disappointed when it's over. Books are the same as movies for me, if I like it I can do it over again and enjoy it just as much as the first time.

What other book might you compare Suspect to and why?

A couple of Robert Goddard's books are this good.

What does Simon Prebble bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Because I'm not a great reader, the narrator brings books to life. A really good narrator makes a read feel like a movie. Prebble does a great job of it.

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

No laughing or crying, just can't put it down.

Any additional comments?

It's just so enjoyable to find a series you like as much this one.

Wow! A worthy plot, unlikely pairing of characters

Thanks Audible for the "first in series" sale --- I have discovered a new favorite mystery series. Suspect is well plotted and has great tension -- did he or didn't he? It has surprise twists and turns, and a flip from bad to good in one of the protagonists. I'd like to write more, but that would spoil the book for listeners. Trust me, this is a good book!

Couldn't wait to hear what happened next!

I usually only listen to books when I'm sewing or when I'm working. I was on vacation with my family and had to go out and buy headphones just to find out what happened next. So, so good. Listened to two Michael Robotham's books and already a huge fan.

Narrator’s mouth sounds made me want to vomit

The story and author are amazing. The narrators voice is good but his mouth clicks and sounds are so nasty I could barely listen.

Slow start, but very well worth it!!!

First chapter or so was kinda hard to get my interest, but after that I couldn't stop listening! A great mystery, suspense, "who done it? " thriller to the very end! Can't wait to read another book from this author...

Great Thriller

Suspect was one of best books I have listened this year. The story line captures your attention from the very first sentence and keeps you wondering about how the book will end. Great story.

Exciting. Suspenseful. Surprising ending

I love novels that I don't figure out 'who dun it' long before the middle of the book..it's a challenge for me to conquer the author at his/her mystery writing.

Suspect is my first Michael Robotham novel as well as the first narration by Simon Prebbles that I've listened to..and it was a spectacularly written and narrated listen-one of those books where the Audible version must be better than the print--after all, who can read with a UK accent unless you are from the UK. This includes Liverpudian accents, Welsh accents as well as Londonese.

As other reviewers have suggested, listen to these in order..Suspense being the first and important in setting up the primary characters.

Buy it and ENJOY!
