Books, TV and long walks are my passions - oh, and drinking wine in the sun with family and friends. A crime novel, domestic in its nature and deadly in its outcome, The Only Suspect has me salivating for more novels written by Louise Candlish, she has a skill that isn’t easily replicated. Alex raised my heckles from the get go whereas Beth was just too accepting, blinded by what I can only assume was love. When his wife’s activist group succeeds in their campaign to get a local walking trail reopened, Alex Parker gets nervous. A beautiful young woman captured his heart and something else all those years ago, then she disappeared.

OUR HOUSE is the one you may be most familiar with as it's on our screens as a major four-part ITV drama starring Martin Compston, Tuppence Middleton and Rupert Penry-Jones.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Tweede leven' is niet echt een superspannende thriller en ik zou ook dit verhaal eerder psychologisch noemen. It’s like the Twilight Zone of domestic thrillers – park your preconceptions at the door and prepare yourself for some shocking revelations as you enjoy the party. THE ONLY SUSPECT, THE HEIGHTS, THE OTHER PASSENGER, THE SWIMMING POOL and THE DAY YOU SAVED MY LIFE have all been optioned for the screen - I'll share development news as soon as I can. Tightly plotted and brilliantly written with twists so perfect they made me gasp out loud on more than one occasion.

This is definitely a book that you’re going to want to switch off all devices, grab a comfy blanket and all the tea you can drink because when you start – you won’t want to stop. But things don’t go quite as he had hoped: instead of hiding out with his beloved, he’s trying to stay under the radar, wanted by the police. In the current timeline Alex is married to Beth and they live near an old nature walk where a murder took place in 1995.Surprising, intoxicating, elliptical and vexing, The Only Suspect is a five star read from Louise Candlish.

I live in a South London neighbourhood not unlike the one in my novels with my husband, teenage daughter, and our fox-red Labrador Bertie. The story is told in dual timelines, the present and then 1995 where we learn about Rick and Rollo who share a flat.Add in some obsession and some behaviour that strikes distinctly off notes and which deepens the enigmatic puzzle. These are told from the point of view of Alex, a man who has ties to the past in ways which are not immediately obvious.
