AUTUMN THRILLS

Cosy up on the sofa and lose yourself in Fiona Barton’s gripping suspense novel, The Suspect

As the colder weather arrives and the nights start to draw in this autumn, there’s nothing better than a new thriller to curl up with. If you’re after a fast-paced storyline that will have you on the edge of your seat, The Suspect is guaranteed to keep you guessing right up until the very last page. With intriguing characters and a plotline that’s full of twists and turns, bestselling author Fiona Barton will have you hooked. Here’s why it’s your new must-read.

A REAL PAGE-TURNER The story starts with a frantic call to the police. Two 18-year-old girls have gone missing while backpacking around Thailand. Meanwhile, star journalist

Kate Waters is looking for her next big headline. The girls’ disappearance catches her attention – her own son went travelling to Thailand two years ago after dropping out of university and she doesn’t know where he is. Kate understands what it’s like to fear for your child when they’re on the other side of the world. And she won’t stop until she finds out what happened to the girls.

MORE THAN A CRIME NOVEL Much more than your standard whodunnit, The Suspect is also about the changing relationship between parents and their adult children, and how you cope when your child leaves the nest for the first time. As the case stirs up Kate’s own fears for her son and what he could have got mixed up in, we also see the girls’ families struggling with revelations about their daughters’ activities abroad.

THE QUESTION IS… How well do you really know your children and what they’re capable of?
