The Suspect episode guide:
The series kicks off by introducing Doctor Joe O’Loughlin who seems to have his life sorted with a devoted wife, a loving daughter, successful career and a publishing deal.
Things then take a turn when a young woman is found in a shallow grave in a West London cemetery and police officer DI Vincent Ruiz (Shaun Parkes) and his partner DS Riya Devi (Anjli Mohindra) are tasked with investigating.
When questions are asked about whether the young woman was murdered or took her own life, Doctor Joe offers to help with profiling.
But as the investigation gathers pace, we will be left asking if we know the real Joe, or does he have a secret life?
