Suspect

Audie Award Finalist, Thriller/Suspense, 2014

For 25 years, Robert Crais has written extraordinary novels of crime and suspense. He is "a master of crime fiction" (Associated Press); "his novels get better with every new book" (Portland Oregonian); "Crais is hands-down the world’s greatest crime writer" (The Huffington Post).

But in Suspect, he may have written his most remarkable novel of all.

LAPD cop Scott James is not doing so well, not since a shocking nighttime assault by unidentified men killed his partner, Stephanie, nearly killed him, and left him enraged, ashamed, and ready to explode. He is unfit for duty - until he meets his new partner.

Maggie is not doing so well, either. The German shepherd survived three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan sniffing explosives before she lost her handler to an IED and sniper attack, and her PTSD is as bad as Scott’s.

They are each other’s last chance. He was a young cop on the rise; she was bred to guard and protect. Now they are shunned and shunted to the side. They are suspect. And together they will set out to investigate the one case that no one wants them to touch: the identity of the men who murdered Stephanie.

Nine months and sixteen days later, they remained free. They were still out there.

What they begin to find is nothing like what Scott has been told, and where it will lead them will take them both through the darkest moments of their own personal hells. Whether they will make it out again, no one can say.

Thrilling, emotional, intense, with some of the best characters and well-crafted writing in all of crime fiction, Suspect is further proof that "Crais just keeps getting better" (Publishers Weekly).

From a dogs view.

If you could sum up Suspect in three words, what would they be?

fun, fast, gripping.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Maggie the dog, seeing things from her perspective was fun.

What about MacLeod Andrews’s performance did you like?

His women's voices were good.

wow!now this was great!!

story great! narrator beyond great!! characters real and perfect!! this story and narrator makes so many other story's just okay this one needs an Oscar!!! I loved it.

Great story. A little sad at times but worth it.

Kept me interested even though I felt it was a tiny bit predictable. Great bond between the "War Dogs" teaches about perseverance, compassion, and healing. Definitely made me love on my dog more. Leland was awesome in my eyes.

The dog made the book!

This was a great story. It was well written and maintained my interest throughout. What I most enjoyed was the narrative from the dog’s perspective and the detailed descriptions of the powerful ability of a dogs senses, particularly smell. What sealed the deal was the emotional attachment between dog and human as depicted in the novel. The story made me want rush home just to hug my dogs. While this was a murder mystery it was also a feel good book. I’m ready for book two.

Very enjoyable

I like Craig overall, but still think this could be his best so far. It is not so much the plot as the way he nailed the characters. Maggie has made me reconsider having a German Shepherd.

Read or listen to this one. I think you will like it a lot!
