The Suspect

Before I go any further I'd like to thank Random House UK, Cornerstone and Netgalley for this digital ARC.
The Suspect is Rob Rinder's follow up to The Trial. Adam Green is back. He now has tenancy at Stag Court. His social awkwardness hasn't improved however, much to the annoyance of court clerk Tony, who continues to send him to social gatherings to network.
Adam soon finds himself acting as a baby barrister in two trials. One is the high profile trial of a TV Chef, charged with the murder of a daytime TV presenter, live on air. The second concerns a teenage boy hiding weapons for his brother.
The Suspect is fast paced, and full of cleverly placed red herrings, thus keeping the reader guessing. It gives a great insight into what happens in court, and also what happens behind the scenes in daytime TV. Rob, of course, is no stranger to either setting.
I really enjoyed The Suspect. It drew me in and kept me engaged right to the end.
Adam is an extremely likeable character. The phone calls with his mother add a touch of humor to the story.
The Suspect is due for publication on 20/06/2024.
