Publisher's summary

Doctor Sam Russell's wife is missing. The police don't believe his story - and Sam isn't so sure himself since he can remember nothing about the day she disappeared.

Detective Hannah Montgomery sees something in Sam and his young daughter that touches her own sense of loss. As she delves deeper, shocking secrets come to light making Hannah wonder whether she's protecting a wronged man or a cold-blooded killer.

Very good!

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Since I worked in law enforcement for years, I love crime thrillers. I always like the authors that can get a “real-life” feel to the workings of the case, and Jonnie Jacobs did not disappoint. She did a great job in telling this story of a husband whose wife went missing and he didn’t really want to contact police because his first wife was murdered. He got off from that case, but that doesn’t mean that the police look at him questioningly. Throughout this book there is a lot of suspense and feelings building that are so palpable that I felt my heart racing at times. If you like any kind of thriller, suspense, or crime novels, then you will definitely enjoy this! I give 4 SOLID STARS!

Don't understand the high ratings?

Oh dear. This was the silliest story I have heard in a long time. The protagonist was so so so slow - gee should I tell the police about this? I wonder IV his is important? Oh dear, Why me? Clues popping up all over the place never followed up on - by anyone ... Until the very last minute when everything is explained in great detail - excruciating detail actually ... I don't understand all the raving reviews of this novel! Or the reader for that matter - his inflections were so strange - everyone had the same dumb questioning voice. Very strange. No I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.

Riveting Story! Kept me guessing until the end

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com".

I have never read any books by Jonnie Jacobs but will be reading more from this author. I have already checked out the rest of her books available on Audible.
This was one of the best audiobooks I've listened to in quite awhile.
The plot had so many twist and turns that you could not stop listening and unlike a lot of mystery books the end was a complete suprise to me.
As we all know a narrator can make or break the story and George Kuch did not disappoint. The narration was excellent.
I highly recommend this book!

Great suspens with a surprise ending

What made the experience of listening to The Only Suspect the most enjoyable?

*** I received a copy of this book in return for an honest review.This book was great. The continual back and forth between first person narration and third was an interesting way to present it, and the story line was intricate and suspenseful.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Absolutely. While listening, I had about five different suspects and the ending was a total surprise.

What about George Kuch’s performance did you like?

He did a wondeful job with the flow of the book, as well as differentiation between characters. Very smooth voice.

Kept me guessing

I like a book that keeps me guessing. This book held my attention and just when I thought I figured it out... another twist. Really good.

Wow!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Only Suspect to be better than the print version?

Having not read the print version it is hard to gauge but the narrator did a fantastic job so I would surmise that I would enjoy the audiobook better

What did you like best about this story?

Everything! Well written, lots of twists and turns, a mystery that you can't quite figure out but has a believable end, a great narrator, interesting characters, and just an all around good story.

Which scene was your favorite?

Without giving anything away there were several 'reveals' as the mystery started to unravel that I really enjoyed.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reactions but felt it was one of the better audiobooks that I had listened to in awhile.

Any additional comments?

Good Storyline

First book by this author, but not the last. Kept me hooked from the first sentence. Lots of twists and turns. Narrator tried to change voices, but it was a little difficult for me to handle because his voice sounded like one that belonged with a middle aged detective.

Good.

Detective Hannah feels for Sam, they are missing, police aren’t believing him. Was she investigating a man of truth or a killer.
Good audio by George added to this story. Given audio for my voluntary review
