The Only Suspect: An ingenious psychological thriller from the bestselling author of Our Holiday

The Only Suspect is a brilliant balanced book of twists and suspense. Louise Candlish is a talented writer who instils an undercurrent of suspicion, tension and compulsion right from the beginning. The past life of Rick and the present-day Alex is woven cleverly, hitting the mark on a detailed plot and well-timed twists and turns that had me gasping. Thank you, NetGalley & Simon & Schuster (Australia) for an ARC.

Wow!! What a book. Throughout reading I was totally enthralled. The author weaves a mind blowing narrative which plummets you into the minds of the characters, it's like you become them. I have not read anything quite like it before. Louise Candlish is a new author for me and lets just say she is definitely one of my top 5. I am already anticipating delving into her other books. The Only Suspect is written in two POV's Rick and Alex. I don't want to say much more as I will spoil it for other people but all I will say is that what I believed was happening in the story and what I believed I had figured out was completely off the mark. Candlish twisted and turned the story completely 360 and left me totally dumbfounded by what then transpired. You need to read this book, you won't be disappointed. I am still thinking about the story and the characters even now after it's been a few days since finishing and that does not happen very often with me when I have read something.

Very, very good, along the lines of "the other passenger" but not as good, however, it does make for a absorbing read and the twist at the end is superb.
