Sea of Suspicion

By: Toni Anderson

Narrated by: Chloe Campbell

Marine biologist Susie Cooper traded her life in America for a dream job on the rugged Scottish coast. Now all she lacks is the right man to start a family with. After their first meeting, she knows sexy Detective Inspector Nick Archer isn't what she's looking for. He's the type of guy whose idea of commitment is staying the whole night.

Nick has returned to St. Andrews for one reason only - to fulfill his vow to find his wife's killer. Relentless in his 12-year quest for justice, he has no problem using Susie to get close to his primary suspect: her boss. But the passion between them smolders, and as it ignites, Nick finds himself torn between his past and his present - with Susie.

When one of her boss's students is murdered, Nick's investigation draws Susie into a web of madness and betrayal. They will have to learn to trust each other if they're going to catch a killer... and come out of this alive.

Great Story

I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline as well as the presentation.
I also enjoyed the twist at the end.
I love Toni Andersons books. They always entertain.

Liked the book

Overall I liked the book with a story that have a lots of up and down

Unpredictable Suspense

A suspense of who done it, tragedy and redemption.
self recriminations and a need to let go of past tragedy and revenge only to find surprise in the villans identity. A great heart healing romance.

Okay, later works are better

I’ve listened to some of Toni Anderson’s later books and enjoyed them, so thought I’d try an earlier one. Let’s just say her later books have more engaging characters and storylines.

I wasn’t fond of the female protagonist in this story, Susie. Even if the author was going to have her fall for Nick, Susie could’ve listened to her internal voice a bit more & not just been mush from the get go. Nick was a better character, but not great. Some of the side characters were actually much more engaging.

I was also not a great fan of the narrator, Chloe Campbell, but I can’t really put my finger on why. You could tell which character was which and I don’t remember any mispronounced words, but I can’t say she added anything to the story.

Loved it

The author is one very talent she grabs you from the first page throwing in a twist that is full of thrills. She gives you stories with today headlines with such passion, thrills, adventurer that sends chills through your body. This has a great plot and is a well written it will stay with you long after you put the book down. It’s a story that will make you look twice before going down a dark alley or being alone by yourself on a dark road.


The narrator does a wonderful job, her character voices are good, you can really feel what the characters are going through. Her female and male characters are wonderful, you always know who is talking and what they are feeling. There are no background noise, no volume changes and no repeating of words, it is a very clear audio that I really enjoyed. I am very disappointed with this narrator, he always brings me a delightful listen.

The author gives you such wonderful character along with supporting characters. They will steal your heart, make you laugh and give you shocks. All are strong, friendly and at times flirty. The author does keep her card close to her chest and keeps you guessing who the killer is. She puts in many twists that will have you with your mouth open. Toni is one of those authors when you see her name you know it is going to be an outstanding read. You know she has some thrills which will get your heart pumping and your mouth hung open. Toni is a wonderful author, her audios are out of this world. I never will forget the first one I listen to I keep looking behind me the whole way to work. If you have read or listen to one of her book you know why she is a bestselling author.

Could Have Been Shorter

I went back and forth between disliking the hero and the heroine. That lasted for the entire book. Suzie and Nick both had a ton of baggage. Both could have used a good therapist. I was really tired of Suzie berating herself for over 21 years. I was sick of Suzie in general! Tbh, EVERYONE in this book should have had a therapist on retainer. Nick became tolerable toward the end.

One saving grace was that the killer was not obvious to me at first. There were so many red herrings. I could not believe how oblivious Suzie was to pretty much everything. Especially after someone was murdered so close to her.

Didn't feel much connection to any of the characters in this book. I was sick of Suzie, Nick, Emily, Lily, Rafael, Jake Sizemore and his family.

I think this book could have been much shorter. Every time I think it was done, it would continue. I just wanted it to end. I have read a number of this author's books that I enjoyed. This one, not so much.

Not good.

I wouldn't suggest this one. The characters are flat. The two main characters hardly even have a role, as the POV switches constantly to unimportant side characters. It's cliche, unintersting, silly. The male lead is a cardboard cutout. The woman is the typical, woe is me I've had my heart broken, except worse. She's also the most unintelligent heroine of all time.
