The Suspect Fiona Barton Books Reviews
- When two eighteen-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…
My Thoughts I have enjoyed other books by this author, including the recurring appearance of Kate Waters, the journalist. She feels like an old friend, and her first person narrative personalizes her perspective even more.
How does the addition of Kate’s own son, Jake, add to the intensity?
I liked the short chapters and the switching between parents, detectives, and journalists…giving us an emotional layer we might otherwise lose in the mix.
While the detectives, parents, and journalists are revealing their stories, we see flash backs of the girls in Thailand, and with each page, we see that danger has been lurking from the beginning.
We also see the early conflicts, primarily because Alex had been planning the trip with an old friend, Mags, who had bowed out at the last moment. The substitution of Rosie, who was not a very close friend, would turn out to be a big mistake.
Will the revelations bring peace? Or will more pain and conflict arise? A slow build that didn’t feel slow, since we moved from one set of characters to another, The Suspect held my interest throughout, while touching that emotional core as I empathized with the characters.
As the police and press shift from one suspect to another, taking many wrong turns along the way, I kept guessing, and then learning something different at the next turn. The final answers left a few loose threads…and some moral ambiguity. 5 stars. - I've read her prior 2 books and like them, I read this one almost in one sitting. What a fine writer she is. This is a really good story featuring her reporter character Kate Waters. The plot involves her family, a wild holiday in Thailand and murder. I can't think why anyone wouldn't really enjoy it, it's so well written with good twists and characters. Highly recommended.
- I had read The Child, this author's second novel. and very much enjoyed it. See my review of that one below. I began this book with high expectations that were not quite realized. Nonetheless, I found that I was constantly turning the pages of the short chapters until I got to the end.
The central story is about Rosie and Alex who travel to Thailand for their gap year. The two are very different with Alex having a stronger moral compass. Rosie wants to party while Alex wants to see and experience the country. What happens to them and why forms the central mystery/suspense of the book. No spoilers here. Around them, there are other characters in Thailand and Rosie and Alex's families at home in England. The reader also spends time with a detective and reporter who were also in this author's earlier novels. Their relationships and backstories figure prominently in the narrative. There is an overlap in that Kate is reporting but her son is also traveling in Thailand and a part of the story's events.
This novel deals with tragedy and the impact of a difficult upbringing. I won't say about whom or whose so as not to spoil the suspense. Yet, despite this, I found that I did not care about the characters or story as much as I had hoped to. - I've read the other books by this author and loved them. Kate is the reporter in this book as well as the previous books. This time Kate's family has a part in the story. 2 teen girls travel to Thailand and are missing. What happened? Why? Be sure you know who you are traveling with! If Alex had not been texting her friend this never would have been solved. How well do we know our children? There is a twist that was surprising. I read the book in 1 day. Hope Kate returns in another book.
- I loved the plot, young people traveling in a foreign land, facing problems all parents fear. I couldn't wait to get back to it. This was an audiobook and kindle book for me. Switching back and forth helps me finish more books. The performers for this were excellent to listen to. The fact that some of the characters were back from previous books, with the plots mentioned, was an extra bonus. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that it wasn't quite as compelling as the earlier books by this author, definitely not disappointing at all.
- I gave her first two books 5 stars. This one took me a month to finish because it was so uninteresting and dry. She kept repeating the same information while characters flew back and forth discovering information. The ending was a surprise or maybe more clues should have been revealed earlier in the story.
- Barton completely captured all the feelings of a parent fearful about her child and then ultimately keeping secrets with guilt. I love the different voices and perspectives and how they weave the story. I also appreciate the tense relationships as they read with authenticity. This is my second book with these characters .... there seems to be a third I must find. Thank you for such great and yet perplexing entertainment, Fiona.
- Alex and Rosie go for on their once in a lifetime trip to Thailand and are murdered there. The Thai police are inept at finding the killer, but once the British police get involved, the riddles are soon solved. There are so many secrets in this book and so much family drama. Readers of crime and suspense novels will quickly be captured by this story.
