Suspicion (ITV1 2003, Amanda Redman, Adrian Dunbar)

Amanda Redman plays the lead in Suspicion, an intriguing and tense thriller full of unexpected plot twists and surprises written by Peter Whalley.

Carol and Mark Finnegan have been happily married for twenty years. Then Carol receives an email from someone calling themselves Truth Teller claiming Mark is having an affair with Rebecca, his secretary. Carol dismisses it immediately. Of course it’s not true – is it? Mark insists that he’s innocent, but the seeds of suspicion begin to grow.

A shocking murder is discovered and Carol begins to think the unthinkable.

How well does she really know her husband? Events spiral out of control once suspicion takes hold in Carol’s mind.
