The new must-read standalone crime thriller from the author of Sunday Times bestseller, THE WIDOW, and the Richard & Judy No. 1 bestseller, THE CHILD - featuring unforgettable journalist, Kate Waters.
Fiona Barton's debut, The Widow, was a Sunday Times and New York
Times bestseller and has been published in thirty-five countries
and optioned for television. Her second novel, The Child, was a
Sunday Times bestseller. Born in Cambridge, Fiona currently lives
in south-west France.
Previously, she was a senior writer at the Daily Mail, news editor
at the Daily Telegraph, and chief reporter at the Mail on Sunday,
where she won Reporter of the Year at the British Press Awards.
While working as a journalist, Fiona reported on many high-profile
criminal cases and she developed a fascination with watching those
involved, their body language and verbal tics. Fiona interviewed
people at the heart of these crimes, from the guilty to their
families, as well as those on the periphery, and found it was those
just outside the spotlight who interested her most . . .
Utterly engrossing…I lived inside this book for two days—and I’m
still thinking about it. Superb!
*Shari Lapena, bestselling author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR*
A fast-paced whodunnit with heart, characters I feel I know and a
deliciously dark twist. Superb writing, often blackly funny, and a
scene that made me cry into my pillow.
*Gillian McAllister, Sunday Times bestselling author of EVERYTHING
BUT THE TRUTH*
A terrific read - I loved The Suspect. Rich story-telling,
beautifully paced and with characters that linger long after the
final page. Readers are in for a treat.
*Renée Knight, bestselling author of DISCLAIMER*
Intelligent, insightful and compelling. A clever, twisting
whodunnit that delivers an emotional punch. I loved it.
*C. L. Taylor, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE MISSING*
Fiona Barton is a master of ‘just one more chapter’ and kept me
reading late into the night, unable to look away. The Suspect is a
wonderfully human thriller, with characters I believed entirely and
a crime that got right under my skin.
*Holly Seddon, bestselling author of TRY NOT TO BREATHE*
