5.0 out of 5 stars unputdownable - yes really!, 28 Feb 2005
By nige vincent (Milton Keynes United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
this is the first time I've written a review so I must have a special reason for doing so. That reason is this was such an enjoyable book I just have to recommend it. On the one hand, I couldn't wait to get to the end to see how it finished but on the other, I didn't want it to end because I was enjoying it so much! There is a lot of tension with the psychologist trying to solve the murders and trap the murderer whilst being pursued by the police who are convinced that he is the murderer. Extremely well written, easy to read, a great plot, lots of suspense and twists ... an excellent read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking, 13 Mar 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Suspect (Hardcover)
I read this book last week and have been emailing friends ever since to make sure they grab a copy too. (The last time I felt this way about a book was Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - and I think that over the next few months The Suspect will achieve the same kind of success.) From the first page, you're drawn into O'Loughlin's life - and when his life is turned upside down, you'll find yourself hanging by your ankles too. After that, you'll be turning pages so fast you get friction burns. OK, there's the odd expression here and there that jars with O'Loughlin's supposed Anglo-Irishness (the writer is Australian) and some of the names are a bit off the wall, but hey, that's very small beer. Overall, the writing is so good, strong and beguiling that you're not just rivetted to your seat, you're positively nail-gunned. (And no, I'm not the author or publisher!!) I haven't seen this on the bestseller shelves yet (but it assuredly will be very soon) - I'll be watching this space closely to compare reviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great suspense in this murder mystery, 24 Feb 2007
By Talia Mana (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Joseph O'Loughlin is a successful psychologist and happy family man until he becomes diagnosed with an incurable disease. Withdrawing from his wife while he attempts to deal with this blow and feeling alienated from his family cracks start to appear in his life.

At the same time he becomes embroiled in a murder mystery that hits close to home. A former patient is murdered and her body is found near his home together with clues that suggest a sadomasochistic killer is at work.

Brought in to help Joe gets caught in a web of deceipt and suddenly finds himself the primary suspect in a brutal killing. His life is falling down around him and he no longer knows who to trust. He suspects that one of his patients may be the killer but the police have dismissed his suspicions.

The only solution is to mount his own search for the killer leading to a suspenseful showdown with both the police and the killer hot on his trail.
