The Only Suspect: A 'twisting, seductive, ingenious' thriller from the bestselling author of The Other Passenger

Product Information

A beautiful young woman captured his heart and something else all those years ago, then she disappeared. PS: I never give trigger warnings, but you may get a laugh out of this one: I think I have a phobia of house guests that overstay their welcome, because there was a part in the book where I felt myself becoming very anxious, with sweating palms and a racing heart, and perhaps discovering some slightly murderous tendencies within my own heart towards one particular character. I couldn't have asked for more, really, and feel so proud that readers are continuing to discover it and recommend it far and wide. If you like more slow drawn out thrillers that are very character driven definitely check this one out. This story seemed like it was going to be slow paced but there were so many things that were not as it seemed.

I understand I can change my preference through my account settings or unsubscribe directly from any marketing communications at any time. 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. To make matters worse Beth inserts a friend Zara who is going to be homeless after a bad breakup and is pregnant. 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. There were some surprising reveals but there were also some that were just a little too outlandish for me.Candlish explores how well we really know those we love and what lengths we'll go to get what we want.

It’s clear from the off that there are some dark deeds undertaken in this story, the extent of which are gradually revealed, but just when you think you have a handle on everything, when you think that Louise Candlish cannot catch you out again, she quite probably will. If you love mysteries where nothing is quite what it seems and every character has a secret to guard, then this is definitely the right book for you!Louise Candlish's "The Only Suspect" received stellar reviews from my trusted GR reviewers and friends.

The story opens in the present day with Alex, who's really not thrilled to hear that his wife Beth announces the opening of a nature trail on a local disused site. This is excellent storytelling, it’s full of unpredictability and is a clever slow burner of a psychological thriller. From the bestselling author of The Disappearance of Emily Marr comes this beautifully written novel about letting go of the love of your life (formerly published as Prickly Heat ).But he never quite anticipated just how disastrous his life would become after becoming embroiled in her personal problems.

Alex is gelukkig getrouwd met Beth en ze wonen in een mooie wijk, vlakbij een gebied met een heleboel bosjes. If you thought you misbehaved in the nineties you've got nothing on the devious, duplicitous cast of this book.But things don’t go quite as he had hoped: instead of hiding out with his beloved, he’s trying to stay under the radar, wanted by the police. 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. De ontwikkeling van de verschillende personages is wel enorm interessant en ik voelde continu een bepaalde spanning. I certainly held a healthy amount of scepticism towards some of them, having the benefit of detachment to view all that was happening objectively which those who were in the heart of the story naturally wouldn’t.
