The Suspect

De: Michael Robotham

Narrado por: Crispin Redman

Joseph O'Loughlin appears to have the perfect life: a beautiful wife, a loving daughter, and a successful career as a clinical psychologist. But nothing can be taken for granted. Even the most flawless existence is only one loose thread away from unravelling. All it takes is a murdered girl, a troubled young patient - and the biggest lie of his life.©2004 Michael Robotham (P)2022 W. F. Howes Ltd

Reseñas de la Crítica

"There are twists and turns in this plot enough to challenge most thriller readers....Gripping stuff." (Publishing News)
"Believable and authentic from the first sentence....Robotham doesn't put a foot wrong in his plotting, pace or inventiveness." (The Australian)
"A truly classy thriller, beautifully crafted....a gripping finale that even the most seasoned mystery addicts won't see coming." (Australian Women's Weekly)

A solid good (but not great) read....

A good thriller, great characters, with a plot that twists and turns and keeps some surprises back till the end. The story is a bit conventional (the nice guy whose life is turned upside down by circumstances that lead him to be the major suspect in a horrific crime case), but Robotham is a good writer and “sucks you in” from the beginning and the storyline keeps you entertained to the end.
Why only four stars? There are a few inconsistencies and the story does cross over the credibility line toward the very end when the plot unfolds. The narrator goes overboard at times, but overall does a good job.

Gripping Stuff Indeed

Well well well.
The few Robotham Audio books I have listened to are consistently great listens.This is no exception. Story, narration by Crispen Redman.. I really can not fault this one. Yes it is part of series, yet each story is complete in itself. Even though you can guess our hero will make it. the ending does have a little twist.
