billymac1962 's review for:
Suspect
by Michael Robotham
I think I'm going to have to pull the pin here.
I really enjoyed The Secrets She Keeps, and I kept seeing a lot of references to this series once Robotham was on my radar. But now I'm picking through the rest of the books in this series and they're kind of lukewarm. That, and geez...there are a lot of really odd references he does in the narrative that make little to no sense.
Particularly a couple of chapters ago where he was describing a character and out of nowhere he describes a bar that was created for "Oddballs" for a paragraph, then back to the character again. Now that I type this, you can see how the oblique reference might work but in context it was clunky at best.
There are other little bits that seemed to be minor gaps, like at one point he talks about being able to keep his disease secret and it's not quite clear if his wife knows at that point or not. About 30 pages later it was clear but it made me have to go back and decide that it was just careless editing. Maybe.
Maybe it's just me.
Anyways, a long winded way of saying I'm not that excited or vested in this anymore. Since I don't see much for me in the rest of the series I think I'll move on at this point.
