Summary
Audie Award Finalist, Thriller/Suspense, 2014
For 25 years, Robert Crais has written extraordinary novels of crime and suspense. He is "a master of crime fiction" (Associated Press); "his novels get better with every new book" (Portland Oregonian); "Crais is hands-down the world’s greatest crime writer" (The Huffington Post).
But in Suspect, he may have written his most remarkable novel of all.
LAPD cop Scott James is not doing so well, not since a shocking nighttime assault by unidentified men killed his partner, Stephanie, nearly killed him, and left him enraged, ashamed, and ready to explode. He is unfit for duty - until he meets his new partner.
Maggie is not doing so well, either. The German shepherd survived three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan sniffing explosives before she lost her handler to an IED and sniper attack, and her PTSD is as bad as Scott’s.
They are each other’s last chance. He was a young cop on the rise; she was bred to guard and protect. Now they are shunned and shunted to the side. They are suspect. And together they will set out to investigate the one case that no one wants them to touch: the identity of the men who murdered Stephanie.
Nine months and sixteen days later, they remained free. They were still out there.
What they begin to find is nothing like what Scott has been told, and where it will lead them will take them both through the darkest moments of their own personal hells. Whether they will make it out again, no one can say.
Thrilling, emotional, intense, with some of the best characters and well-crafted writing in all of crime fiction, Suspect is further proof that "Crais just keeps getting better" (Publishers Weekly).

Logically you know humans can't know what dogs think - but it's so easy to believe that the author knew exactly what emotions Maggie had! The small insights often brought a smile to my face, if you like dogs, you can't help not liking this story.
A marine dog suffering from PTSD is matched with a policeman suffering the same affliction. Maggie will be taken to your heart by the end of the tale.

Exciting from start to finish
I loved this book so much I listened to it all over 3 days. It was a great insight into working dogs. The characters were believable. A good, well paced storyline. And what you hope from a thriller and rarely get, a good ending.

man and dog
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
most definitely this was a fantastic book I loved the way the narrator speaks for the dog excellent story excellent narrator would recommend a great story a great read. I looked forward to going back to my story of an evening
What other book might you compare Suspect to, and why?
I cant they don,t usually have a story line where the dog is one of the two stars so different
Which scene did you most enjoy?
when they first meet it is so lovely and tender and yet so powerful.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
yes the part were Maggie is going for the man at the car and then it tells you that a shot is fired and I can honestly say my heart was in my mouth and I said out loud OH NO and wondered whether I would regret having read thus far. Obviously cannot make any other remarks for those who would read the book
Any additional comments?
If you are looking for something a little bit different then this is a great book to go for. Perfect narration

I suppose the dog bits were a bit sappy - but I didn't mind so much because I love dogs.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the dog thinks her previous master has returned. And realises he hasn't.

Just loved the characters
I've listened to this book twice now and I love the strength of the characters and whilst the stories are not complex they still keep you listening.

Great Fun Crime
I wasn't expecting too much of this novel but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's heartwarming, well written and keeps you guessing. The characters are well drawn, both canine and human and the dog work detail is great. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

pretty good
this is a fairly good standalone novel, but it didn't work for me the way the cole / pike novels do, especially when they are narrated by the sensational william roberts.
however, crais writes well (clearly, efficiently) and the story is interesting. i enjoyed it, just not as much as the others.
