![]() But The Suspect is so crazily overladen with incident – something weird or nasty happens roughly every four minutes – it’s all but impossible not to give the game away (if you want to embark on it in pristine ignorance, don’t read on). One creaky, coincidence-ridden hour in, and I do quite badly want to know if Dr Joe O’Loughlin (Turner), ever applies sweet-smelling oil or some other precious unguent to his luxuriant facial hair – and also, of course, whether he might be involved in the murder of a woman whose body was found in a cemetery where he recently enjoyed an autumnal leaf fight with his wife and daughter.
