Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Suspicion
Joseph Finder · 2015
83/100
👍 Worth It
Finder takes a premise — ordinary man accidentally entangled with a drug cartel — that could easily become generic and runs it through a genuinely clever surveillance-and-entrapment wringer. The Barry Award and unanimous praise from Library Journal, Associated Press, and Kirkus confirm this is a cut above standard thriller fare. The widowed-father emotional throughline gives it staying power beyond the plot mechanics.
