His throat has been slit but all the doors and windows of the room are locked, and there is no evidence of a murder weapon, or any footprints in the muddy flowerbeds outside.

All too often I’ve felt like a book is just too dramatic or ridiculous, but The Only Suspect felt perfectly balanced. Candlish adopts an engrossing past to present style narrative in The Only Suspect that had me hooked.When he spots her bruises, Rick is determined to save Marina from her brute of a husband, and he cooks up a plan to which she eventually agrees.

By that time I was well and truly into 'yeah, nah' mode and wondering if I was reading the same book as everyone else.Louise Candlish also creates – as with all her books – an effective, creeping sense of unease in the clues she leaves for readers. While it did ratchet up the suspense in the sense that I REALLY wanted to get to the point and find out how if my predictions were correct (spoiler: they were) but I was waaaayyyy too tempted to skip ahead vs. A gripping tale of love, secrets and deception - it's the best psychological thriller I've read in a long time. Like The Other Passenger, here Candlish offers up a twisty tale with a narrator (well, two in fact) we’re not sure we can trust. Although the evidence against Omar Evans, the school’s Black athletics trainer, was flimsy, he is currently serving a long prison sentence.

I am the bestselling author of 16 novels – a fact I can’t quite believe myself – and my books are published all over the world.Another twisty, addictive read by this author; another masterclass in psychological thriller writing. Harris was described in court as an "influential online propagandist for a violent and deeply racist ideology". I am the bestselling author of 16 novels - a fact I can't quite believe myself - and my books are published all over the world. The Only Suspect is another example of an addictive, gripping read from Louise Candlish, weaving together two timelines to tell the story of various characters: the very private Alex and his wife Beth, and Rick who is desperately in love with the elusive Marina, a woman who works in the same building as him. Every time I thought I had it sorted out, there was another plot twist to confuse me or another snippet of information that changed the situation.

Aldrich, 22, allegedly killed five people during an indiscriminate firearms attack in Colorado Springs, in November last year - while Harris was on trial in the UK. In the current timeline Alex is married to Beth and they live near an old nature walk where a murder took place in 1995. But a one-off extradition request was turned down by the Yemeni foreign minister in February 2009, prompting a diplomatic row. The Only Suspect is a tantalising domestic mystery that had me on edge from the very beginning of this story to the end.De ontwikkeling van de verschillende personages is wel enorm interessant en ik voelde continu een bepaalde spanning. While I didn’t warm to the characters and found them quite unlikeable, certainly none that I would like to be friends with. Although readers may guess some of the early links between the two narrative strands, there are bigger twists to come. The story as it unfolds is a slow burn that felt a little bit too drawn out to get to the final twist for me.
