Resumen del Editor

Two couples. A doctor's surgery. A deadly obsession. Who's telling the truth?

'Who else would you go for, if you could? Give me a name, someone you quite like.'
He shrugs his shoulders. A jawline held tight.
'I quite like Jenni. What about you?'
I don't reply.

Carly and Rob, Jenni and Craig. Two couples, four friends. Betraying each other. Wanting each other.

All of them have access to prescription drugs through the medical practice where they work, and all of them are fighting their own demons.

But can any of them be trusted? And when the lies begin, can they ever be silenced?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I absolutely loved it and raced through it. Thrilling, unputdownable, a fabulous rollercoaster of a read - I was obsessed by this book." (B. A. Paris, author of Behind Closed Doors and The Breakdown)
" Obsession is a welcome addition to the domestic noir bookshelf. Robson explores marriage, jealousy and lust with brutal clarity, making for a taut thriller full of page-turning suspense." (Emma Flint, author of Little Deaths)
"Amanda Robson has some devastating turns of phrase up her sleeve and she expertly injects menace into the domestic. It was clear from the very first chapter that this was going to a dark and disturbing journey." (Holly Seddon, author of Try Not to Breathe)

Just one more white lie....

I really enjoyed this book!! It was awesome, very different from a lot of thrillers I've read but very good none the less. Only thing was I'd wanted to know more about what had really happened, not quite enough detail into who what when where how that last tragic event truly unfolded!! You are kinda left to yourself to maybe figure that out ...anxious to read more from this author.

Good read

This story was very interesting a physiological emotionale drama into the minds of everyday folks who are never grateful and happy for what they already have.

Get ready for some seriously unlikeable characters

Lots of gratuitous sex...all the characters are unlikeable. The only one halfway ok is Rob. And he sets off the crazy in his wife by saying he quite liked her best friend (in Brit speak re sleep with). Mind you this is all hypothetical. However it makes his wife crazy jealous and for some reason decided to start an affair with her best friends husband. The whole thing is contrived. The infidelity wasn’t surprising it’s just the way it all happened because of s stupid statement when he was pressed. Instead of these couples severing the unhealthy they switch partners and then people start dying it’s just totally weird. I got it on sale so I was more generous w rating.

never-ending story

Why, oh why didn't they just unfriend Jenny.
That drove me crazy. Book was ok.

Worldwind ...

Wow! This one takes you for a ride. Once you are onboard, you ride it out until the very end. In the end, you're left wondering if the ride was worth taking ...

3.5 stars found this book engaging & interesting

oh boy this book should have had a Steam meter
as always there will be no spoilers in my reviews
wow I was not expecting that much Sexual content (my genre preference is mystery thrillers.) fit that category but a ton if chapters we're very sexual. 1st time Sex and God in a mystery but I went with it although taken aback a bit the story stayed steady and kept my interest
. but prior warning this may be too much for some people. at first I wasn't going to continue and get my money back . the storyline saved that from happening. I would have liked to have known ahead that it contained that much sex. at least then my choice would have been well informed.

Intriguing and Suspenseful

This was an interesting story told from the point of view of four peoples: two couples who are also friends. A mystery develops as the story progresses, and I really wasn't sure up until the end what really happened. I was surprised by the ending, which I always like in a book. I listened (and enjoyed) this on audio, as the characters were distinctive and I felt it brought the story to life.

The premise is unique: what would have happened if the question at the beginning had not been asked or if the husband had answered it differently?

Warning: there is quite a bit of graphic sex scenes in the book, some of which seems to be a bit gratuitous.

The Wonderful exceptional story World of Marriage

Oh wow... is about all I can say, while blinking my eyes like what ...? This story is a lot to take in. I very much enjoyed listening to the novel to it's entirety. I did not quite like the ending.. but the writer definitely took thr time & effort and you could see that it was a well thought-out book & was absolutely very well narrated . I would give this all five stars... I don't want to ruin anything for anyone... I just did not like the ending.
I would have liked for it to come together just a quite bit more with that being said definitely buy this book worth every cent or credit spent.

Loved This awesome literary piece.

no happy ending here

well narrated. A good story, a bit longer than necessary but keeps u guessing who done it.

Wow

The story seems complex at first because you’re trying to follow a couple storylines but once they merge, you can’t stop listening. Such a great story and shocking ending.
