Above Suspicion

De: Joe Sharkey

Narrado por: Marc Cashman

A personal look at a crime of passion describes an FBI agent's successful career, family life, and extramarital affair that ended in murder, and of the guilt that drove him to confess in spite of his impenetrable government shield.

In a true story of crime, guilt, and conscience, a model agent's illicit involvement with an informant leads him to commit a crime that reveals all the workings of the human heart--and the dark side of the FBI.

Solid true crime

The story of senseless self-destruction and its reverberations. This one bummed me out, but it is a well told story.

Enthralling

I could not stop listening to this book! I am an avid true crime junkie and this was exactly what I was looking for. Great narration, I wonder what happened to the movie that was coming out because I am definitely inspired to see it. Detailed, entertaining, engaging, better than expected. Loved it.

A great telling of a sad true story!

From the beginning of the story, something starts gnawing at you that things are headed in a bad direction for the two main characters. Thus, it makes for a novel that's hard to put down. The excellent movie made from the book must have been fairly easy to do, considering how the author paints such a clear picture of the characters and the environment. I highly recommend the book and the movie!

Excellent journalism

Any additional comments?

Incredibly tragic story very sensitively handled by a fine journalist. There were no winners in this tale, and no real villains as there often are in true crime stories, only a terrible collision of personalities that crushes the lives of all involved in a moment of lost control. The people who lived this tale and the world they inhabit are brilliantly, heartbreakingly described. I hope the film, starring the wonderful Emilia Clarke, serves them as well.

Interesting story but no sympathy

This is a good story but felt so sympathy for Susan or Cathy . I sorta hated both of them . I simply could not care what happened with Susan and was glad when she was finally was killed off in the book. Maybe this is cold hearted but she was simply like a likable person and sometimes when you threatened stomp your feet you get exactly what’s coming for you. Felt sorry for Mark but at the end he got what he deserved too. He should have known better but if I had to live with his wife I would most likely done the same thing .
