I was given a copy of an ARC of above Suspicion by Joe Sharkey for an honest review. I would like to thank Open Road Integrated Media as well as NetGalley and the author. I do find it a privilege to be able to read things in advance. When I choose this book on Negalley all I knew about it was that it was true crime, and that was really all I needed to know. I find it fascinating that there are many authors who are able to translate truth on paper and Mr Sharkey does a really good job making this a page turner that makes you feel sorry for Susan and Mark.
The story is about the tragic Case where an FBI agent kills his pregnant girlfriend who started as his informant. I think the story is beautifully put together and I feel sorry for everyone involved. I personally had a hard time starting the book but once you get going it's a smooth ride. I think where things go wrong for Susan is that through the book it really does read like she is head over heels in lust with Mark. Poor Mark all he really wanted to do was find a place to call his own so he can make a name for himself in the FBI. This was a truly heartbreaking read but worth the time if you are a lover of true crime. Mark did not have to confess but he is ruined by killing Susan. He loses thirty pounds. Every time his boss calls him in for a meeting he thinks here it comes. It is really no way to live. He was released from prison in 2000 and is living in the south with his two kids. I look forward to seeing how this translates to the big screen in 2017! Well done.
