About this listen

The New York Times best-selling author of The Widow returns with a brand new novel of twisting psychological suspense about every parent's worst nightmare....

When two 18-year-old girls go missing in Thailand, their families are thrust into the international spotlight: desperate, bereft and frantic with worry. What were the girls up to before they disappeared?

Journalist Kate Waters always does everything she can to be first to the story, first with the exclusive, first to discover the truth - and this time is no exception. But she can't help but think of her own son, whom she hasn't seen in two years, since he left home to go travelling.

As the case of the missing girls unfolds, they will all find that even this far away, danger can lie closer to home than you might think....

Behind the scenes with the cast of The Suspect

Clare Corbett, Ria Zmitrowicz and Sian Thomas on recording Fiona Barton's thrilling new novel

Clare Corbett somehow made the men voices sound really drippy and has used the same "male" voices in past books. Rather annoying. The story itself was okay but somehow predictable and felt as though twists and turns had to be put in to add interest. I just have a feeling this may have been rushed out to publication and probably with a second one in mind with love interest between the detective and the press!

Not as good as I had hoped

Having read the previous two books by Fiona Barton, I looked forward to this her 3rd. And I wasn't disappointed. Every time you feel you know the ending, the plot changes. And it kept me interested throughout.

My only slight irritation was the voice of Detective Bob Sparks. In the first two stories it was read by a female voice, so was very different. But the emotion in his life was well covered.

Next one please Fiona.....

I loved this book had you gripped from the very start. I listen when doing housework and found lots of extra jobs that needed done just so I could keep listening to this book.

Fiona Barton knows how to tell a story. Having listened to her Audible interview, I was not surprised to hear that she was a journalist. She knows how to pull you in from the first line. Another compelling book that you will listen to at every opportunity. Believable characters. Compelling story. Brilliant narrator.. I am eagerly looking forward to Fiona Barton's next novel.

BRILLIANT
