Helpful Score: 3


The author, Michael Robotham, had been recommended to me. For once, I decided to begin at the beginning, with "Suspect", the first in his series centered around Psychologist Joe O'Loughlin. The plot was nicely detailed and suspenseful. I enjoyed learning about the many complex characters. The descriptive writing allowed me to be there - in Liverpool or London.
My only criticism is of the depiction of Julianna, Joe's wife. She is described as beautiful, or similar terms, more than once. I would think, or hope, that a man as complicated as Dr. O'Loughlin would have a wife who was equally intriguing, not simply beautiful and physically perfect.
