The Suspect

By: Fiona Barton

Narrated by: Susan Duerden, Fiona Hardingham, Nicholas Guy Smith, Katharine Lee McEwan

The New York Times bestselling author of The Widow returns with a brand new novel of twisting psychological suspense about every parent’s worst nightmare...

When two eighteen-year-old girls go missing in Thailand, their families are thrust into the international spotlight: desperate, bereft, and frantic with worry. What were the girls up to before they disappeared?

Journalist Kate Waters always does everything she can to be first to the story, first with the exclusive, first to discover the truth—and this time is no exception. But she can’t help but think of her own son, whom she hasn’t seen in two years, since he left home to go travelling.

As the case of the missing girls unfolds, they will all find that even this far away, danger can lie closer to home than you might think...

Excellent story

Story keeps you on the edge of your seat and I couldn’t wait to hear what came next. I enjoyed how they used multiple readers to tell the story as I listened to it on audible.

Great book, really pulled me in

I loved this book. It grabbed my attention for so many reasons. Maybe being a mother of a
15 year old made it seem so much more real and scary. So many small things decisions made on behalf of the characters that impacted the story. Definitely shared this story with my son and with my best friend’s daughter. Great book.

Great suspense

Another entertaining, well written suspense story by this author. It's the kind of story that is hard to put down ( or turn off if listening.) I liked the twisty end that gives you something to think about....did Kate Waters mike the right choice ?
The narrators were ok, not bad enough to be a distraction, but none of them were brilliant, either.

Boring

I enjoyed The Widow and looked forward to The Suspect, however, the story jumped all over the place and I knew early on who the killer was. Not sure why we had to suffer through the detective’s wife’s cancer and we never learned if Rosie’s mother accepted her daughter’s behavior or why her daughter behaved the way she did. The narrators were boring as well and didn’t bring life to the characters. I don’t write many reviews but I felt this needed writing.

Interesting

Interesting. The story is different than expected. I found myself wanting to see what was going to happen next. Even after I figured out who did what.
