gabmc 's review for:

The Suspect by Michael Robotham
4.0

Very well written fast paced thriller. Police turn to psychologist Joe O'Loughlin for help in solving the murder of Catherine McBride. Joe suspects his patient, Bobby Moran, but can't breach his code of professional practice to let the police know. When the police confront Joe with more questions he realises he has not been 100% open with them. When they investigate Moran, they find that the story he has told Joe is fiction. At this point I began wondering whether Joe himself was the killer and had constructed a web of half truths to fool us readers. I won't spoil the story but I will say that Joe is now the prime suspect and he has to try to figure out why someone would frame him before he can figure out who it is.
