My Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Book Description:
Withheld for the sake of getting the
most out of this mystery
My musings:
What a brilliantly deceptive, wicked
and clever mystery this was! Louise Candlish is getting better and better.
Rolling out in two separate
timelines, the mid-nineties and today, we get transported straight into the
lives of two men, Alex and Rick, whose lives will spectacularly intersect later
in the book. This is all I am willing to say – you really should go into this
one blind and let you take it along its winding dangerous path (which
incidentally also features in the story).
Cleverly constructed and tricking
you by its innocuous beginning, THE ONLY SUSPECT was one of those psychological
thrillers I couldn’t put down until I had all the answers. If you love
mysteries where nothing is quite what it seems and every character has a secret
to guard, then this is definitely the right book for you!
PS: I never give trigger warnings,
but you may get a laugh out of this one: I think I have a phobia of house
guests that overstay their welcome, because there was a part in the book where
I felt myself becoming very anxious, with sweating palms and a racing heart,
and perhaps discovering some slightly murderous tendencies within my own heart towards
one particular character. If you share that sentiment, have a stiff drink ready
before you delve in!
