Description

Kathryn Croft’s newest psychological thriller, The Suspect, follows one woman’s determination to uncover the truth of her mother’s murder.

Late one night, elderly Beulah Brown is awoken by a scream. Hobbling over to her second floor vantage point she sees through her binoculars a terrifying sight. One that prompts her to immediately dial 911. When Detective Sergeant Mallory Van Alst arrives the next morning, she is met with a bloody and gruesome scene at the affluent home of Vanessa and Haruto North that is straight out of a horror film. Blood coats the furniture and floors and surely the victim couldn’t have survived. But there’s no body. On top of that, the homeowners and their maid, Kit Darling, are missing. What happened the night before? Are they looking at a murder scene? And where on earth are Kit and the Norths? Kit: the maid with a snooping problem, who has a traumatic history. What she finds in her client’s home sets in motion a cascade of devastating eventsWhite adds a Photographer as a character. From the Photographer we get surreptitious pieces regarding John. The Photographer is another invisible character who adds enormous suspense.

I especially enjoyed the author's vivid and poignant characterizations of unlikeable protagonists as well as the book's riveting and compelling police procedurals. The book has different POVs. There is the maid, writing in her diary. You also meet the couple where the maid is cleaning, and a police officer. Kit Darling is a maid with a snooping addiction. She cleans the homes of the wealthy and the wealthy always have something to hide and Kit loves finding their secrets. It’s a harmless addiction really, that is, until Kit starts cleaning the house of new clients Daisy and Jon Rittenberg. Kit uncovers a very dark secret they are keeping, and this makes Kit dangerous to them. It also makes Daisy and Jon dangerous to Kit as well. Someone is willing to kill to keep this secret.Beulah Brown is the 89 year old witness, who made the 911 call after being awoken by a scream, shortly before midnight. Her window has a perfect view of the house and property and she witnessed two people dragging a rolled up carpet to a waiting vehicle. However, she has made several 911 calls in the past, and they will have to determine if she is reliable. Kit Darling (née Katerina Popovich) our heroine, cleans houses for a living, snoops into her client’s personal lives for her entertainment while working, and is part of an amateur theater group in her spare time – a women of many talents, who knows how to put together a great show.
