My family said he killed my mother. They lied…
Told in two timelines, The Suspect kept me on my toes doing on my own super sleuthing while trying to figure out who killed Jess’s mother. Secrets and lies are the name of the game here. But who is lying and what secret are they protecting? There is a sense of need and want in this book. Jess was just a little girl asleep in her stroller when her mother was murdered. She has no memory of that day. She has been told who killed her mother but when he approaches her and proclaims his innocence, Jess searches for the truth. She not only wants to know what happened to her mother but needs to know. She wants the truth so that she has closure. But will searching for the truth put her in danger?
The past storyline is told by Jess’s mother. The present is told by Jess. I loved the going back and forth and learning more details the same time that Jess did. I enjoyed the suspense, tension and mystery in this book. I felt for Jess as she longed to know the truth. I also felt for her mother as well. I could feel her frustration as she wanted answers, and some were not being forthcoming with her.
This was a gripping murder mystery that was intriguing, full of twists and had a jaw dropping ending.
I had both the book and audiobook and felt the narrator did a great job.
