The Suspects is exactly what the title suggests, 5 people, friends living together and working together, they all end up suspects of a crime. All covering for each other, all have their own secrets.
Set in the late 80’s but moves forward over the years to the present day too. It is very relatable of the era especially if you lived in the UK at the time.
This book is a refreshing thriller with lots of twists and turns and will keep you guessing right to the end.
It was well written, fast paced and I can honestly say it was a breath of fresh air as it was different from other psychological thrillers I have read.
