Very nice mystery. Taut writing, good character development and a nice twist at the end. I was worried that the Parkinson's Disease might be a distraction from the plot, but it actually enhanced the story. ( )

I picked this book up from my husband's nightstand because I was bored and had nothing to read....what a gem! I was riveted from the get-go. I love that it's British, loved the writing style, and was captivated by the unfolding story and the "what's going to happen next?" question every time I picked it up. A good ride! ( )

Although the story uses the classic tension of an innocent man trying to clear himself of a murder charge, it still caught & held my interest. Told by a protagonist struggling with a newly-diagnosed debilitating disease, the story is somewhat unique in that the reader is never really 100% sure (at least I wasn't!!) if the main character is innocent & who the real murderer could be! Enjoyable read. ( )

This is an excellent debut by a new mystery writer. ( )

Robotham's best. Suspect presents a highly likable but also flawed narrator that you can't help but root for. The character is the best part, wrapped in a murder mystery that takes our protagonist from London to the Welsh countryside and to other parts of Europe as he works to clear his name. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385508611, Hardcover)

The hunter becomes the hunted when an expert consultant in a baffling murder case becomes the prime suspect in Michael Robotham's stunning debut thriller.

At forty-two, psychiatrist Joe O'Loughlin seems to have it all: a thriving practice, a beautiful wife, an adoring daughter. But Joe's snug, happy world is crumbling. Recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, he's dreading the inevitable and all too palpable deterioration of his body and mind. Then, when the police ask for his help in solving the brutal murder of a woman they assume is a prostitute, he's horrified to recognize the victim as a nurse he once worked with, and with whom he had a bit of a past. As Joe begins to suspect that one of his patients may be responsible, the police zero in on him.

Michael Robotham possesses the rare ability to create fully believable characters, fashion terrific dialogue, and generate nonstop suspense. Suspect is a powerhouse first novel, intricately crafted and chillingly authentic.
