The Suspects by Katharine Johnson

5.0

Katharine Johnson's "The Suspects" is a gripping psychological thriller. This book takes us back in time to 1988 and is based in Bristol, England. This story finds five very different individuals (Emily, Imogen, Xanthe, Zak and Stuart) deciding to buy a house and share the mortgage payments and are truly bound together after the collective decisions that they make after discovering a body in their basement. Each character has their own secret and baggage and as the pages turn, the web of lies and deceit magnifies. The story is narrated from Emily's point of view and the last sentence in every chapter is a hook that drives you to turn the pages to truly understand the events that unfolded on that fateful night. The time lapse of this book is well done and easy to follow. This book is truly a satisfying read!
