Title: A C- Thriller
Product review: I listened to the Books on Tape edition of "Suspect," which I checked out from my library. That's a good thing because if I had spent my hard-earned dollars to actually buy it I would have been furious.As another reviewer has noted, the book contains gratuitous savagings of George W. Bush and his administration. Is it unreasonable of me to have been put off by Robothan's political commentaries? After all the man is Australian and his experience as a ghost writer and fledgling thriller writer would seem to leave him ill-equipped to comment on United States politics. Worse, the book is a muddle and not terribly exciting.If you can get the book from your public library, especially on CD so you can listen to it while driving or preparing a meal, I marginally recommend it, but if you would have to spend money for it, look elsewhere. I gave "Suspect" two stars only because, despite his weaknesses as a storyteller, Robothan is a skilfull writer.
