![]() ![]() But even definitively ruling out Joe’s guilt doesn’t make The Suspect any less suspenseful, and TV series writer Peter Berry crafts effective cliffhangers that create constant doubt as to who’s really behind the murder. The Suspect is the first in Robotham’s series of mystery novels about clinical psychologist Joe O’Loughlin, so Joe’s clearly not going to turn out to be the killer. If he weren’t the show’s protagonist, he’d be the most obvious choice for the culprit in the brutal murder of a young woman. He holds back vital information that makes him look guilty, and he flees from authorities rather than confronting them with the truth. The title character of The Suspect, the Sundance Now and AMC+ TV series based on Michael Robotham’s novel, makes a remarkably quick transition from aiding the police in a murder investigation to being accused of the crime himself. Joe O’Loughlin could not seem more suspicious if he tried. ![]()
