The Suspect

By: Kathryn Croft

Narrated by: Tamsin Kennard

My family said he killed my mother. They lied....

I was just a little girl, fast asleep in my stroller, the day my mother was killed. I don’t remember anything about the sunny day that turned so dark.

She’d be so happy for me now, 20 years later, with my dream job as a photographer, and I’m sure she’d love my new boyfriend, Gabriel. But all my happiness vanishes in a heartbeat when the man from our past walks toward me, his eyes on me for just a fraction too long.

I recognize his face from the picture in the papers. He killed my mother.

I try to run, but he wants me to listen. He says that he is innocent and that my family has been lying to me for years.

My father and sister tell me to stay away. They remind me that because of him my mother never got to tuck me in at night or ease me through my first heartbreak. Gabriel says he could be dangerous. But when he is found dead, I am shaken to my core. Who needed to keep him quiet?

I won’t feel safe until I find out what he wanted to tell me. But when I find that my father has lied about the past and Gabriel has hidden photos of my mother under his bed, I realize I can’t trust anyone. I want the truth. But if I find it, will my life be in danger?

An absolutely addictive listen that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about your family. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Lisa Jewell, and Shari Lapena.

Mysterious, Exciting, Intense

Great story
Great narrating

It was hard to charge my air pods, I didn't want to stop listening!

Very Good!

This was a good book that kept me intrigued and listening. The narrator was good also! Just a good mystery!!

Kathryn Croft never disappoints

Croft has an amazing way of writing and keeping the reader engaged in the story line with just enough details to have you start guessing the plot twist, while at the same time never boring you or having too long of “dry” periods within the story. She is gifted in story telling and really getting you to feel the emotions of the character. She does this so naturally that as a reader you get so much peace and fulfillment in the Read. Like all her other books, this one does not disappoint.
The story line is great… a few “what the heck?? I wasn’t expecting that?” Moments..
I didn’t care too much for the ending however, the epilogue completed my unsatisfactory taste of the ending and left me in a better mood of ending the read.
As always Kathryn Croft has written a great book!

Loved it!

Kept me guessing till close to the big reveal. I like books with twists and turns in it. It’s just sad that a little girl lost her mom. But it seemed that everyone was a suspect to me at one point 😆
Worth the listen

Suspenseful

Didn’t see the ending. Great book
Looking forward to picking up another book to start

Great Story Line

The narrator was pretty good. She sounded like she had a stuffy nose, bid did a good job.
Really like this story. I had a few guesses but was surprised at the end.

She did it again!

Love everything Kathryn Croft! She knocked it out if the park once again. Yet another unexpected plot twist.

Ok

Kept my attention (in some parts more than others) but average overall. Kind of forgettable.

Overworked long flowery

Poorly written. Anticlimactic. The overly dramatic description of the villain's misdeeds serves to diminish the conclusion.
