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

Product Information

A story of fabricated truths and longstanding lies, The Only Suspect is the latest release from British author Louise Candlish. The only downside was that the ink smudges too much and some was transferring to my hands/ fingers, which is why I knocked off half a star.

However, when Beth tells Alex about the development of a nature trail right behind their home, Alex becomes very anxious, because he has a very dark secret and the landscapers may inadvertently be about to reveal it!

The Only Suspect by Louise Candlish is a slow burning book that really takes off at least half way through the 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. and for me personally the story itself just wasn’t interesting or twisty enough to warrant such a long drawn out book. I felt the drama between Alex and Zara was inserted just to give some purpose to the present day scenes other than Alex spiralling with worry.

Het probleem is dat Alex die bosjes heel goed kent van vijfentwintig jaar geleden, en dat daar een groot geheim begraven ligt. Back in 1995, Rick Ward was working in London as an auditor when he met Marina and fell head over heels.As the landscapers get to work, a secret threatens to surface from years ago, back when Alex got entangled with Marina, a seductive young woman who threw both their lives into turmoil – and who sparked a police hunt for a murder suspect that was never quite what it seemed. Marina states that he controls her in all aspects, from her working life to her family to what she is allowed to wear.

I loved The Only Suspect : a heady dose of mid Nineties nostalgia, with trademark whiplash twists and satire. Every single book of hers that I have read has left me gasping out loud, and The Only Suspect was no different. A beautiful young woman captured his heart and something else all those years ago, then she disappeared. She knows what rules to follow and sees no other way out – not until she meets and gets to know, dependable Rick. Louise Candlish serves it with a helping of beautiful prose that hints at the threatening nature of its conclusion and other times hits you full on with the force of a guillotine.Well, it must be said, this book is full of intrigue and complexity to deliver a very interesting ride. The twists and turns it takes had me gasping and wondering how it will all end because there are so many things and scenes that i haven't predicted. Dan wordt er aangekondigd dat de rommelige strook bosjes tegenover hun huis plaats gaat maken voor een mooi wandelpad.
