Product Information

But hey, if you're gonna give me a bad guy, give me a funny one at least 😂 It kinda reminded me of Lucas from Never Coming Home. He’s got nothing against nature, but there’s something buried there from years ago that he doesn’t want found.

The Only Suspect by Louise Candlish is a slow burning book that really takes off at least half way through the book. In the aftermath of Ms Vik Magnussen’s death, Scotland Yard said Mr Abdulhak was one of Britain's most wanted men. Alex is not at all convinced that Zara Lloyd’s predicament is genuine, and wonders what her true agenda might be. 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.Dive into this thought-provoking work today and explore its mysterious themes as the story unravels before your very eyes. The council town has approved a nature trail project that crosses his backyard and that's when his quiet life starts to be not so quiet.

It’s been six years since Flint’s debut novel, the compelling Little Deaths, but Other Women is certainly worth the wait. I picked PART of the twist quite early and was feeling VERY smug about it- but the ending still got me. The first timeline is now and is Alex and Beth, married and total opposites as Alex likes to keep himself to himself whereas Beth likes to get involved with the community where she lives and her friends. This story seemed like it was going to be slow paced but there were so many things that were not as it seemed.

The twists keep on coming and coming especially towards the end and as per usual Louise Candlish has me perched on the edge of my seat, super glued to the dramatic events of the plot. Fantastic characters, a trip down memory lane into '90s London and I honestly didn't see that ending coming AT ALL. 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. Every single book of hers that I have read has left me gasping out loud, and The Only Suspect was no different.

We’re in Rick’s head so we know he has the best of intentions but finds himself getting deeper and deeper in trouble nonetheless. That's until Beth announces the creation of a nature trail on a local site that's been disused for decades and suddenly Alex is a changed man. I can't actually get pregnant myself but seeing her every day will do me no end of good and put another dimension to our already rocky marriage. The Only Suspect has a few decent twists and a plot with great potential but, unfortunately, it just fell short of the mark. Back in the current time, we follow Alex and Beth who lived the suburban dream in Silver Vale, where Alex was a perfect husband .Een geheim waar hij al heel lang voor op de vlucht is en dat het einde van zijn zorgvuldig opgebouwde leven kan betekenen. Rick’s obsessive romance with an ultimately destructive woman he meets was a fascinating component of The Only Suspect. As Alex’s fear that something incriminating will be unearthed escalates, Rick begins to discover more about Marina’s life, including the fact that she lives in Silver Vale. A thick set, intense man that brokers no disagreement to what could happen to you if you interfere in his personal life. Dual timelines take us from the present, back to 1995, where we meet twenty something Rick, living the single life in Camden, London, that is until he meets Marina, a beautiful ethereal girl who works in the same office building as him, and from there on in, his life changes irrevocably, and not necessarily for the better.
