Obsession
by
Amanda Robson
Available to purchase here on Amazon
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?
I kept hearing about this book online and had read a few reviews so I purchased it on Kindle.
Carly and Rob ------ Jenni and Craig
Carly is a practice nurse at the local surgery where Rob her husband is a GP. They have 3 children, but Carly's Mum - Heather does the bulk of the childcare. Carly's idea of childcare is to take the children to the local indoor play centre, push in earplugs and read the newspaper.
Rob is pretty easy going, he adores his curvaceous, flirty wife and loves his children dearly, Rob also has a close association with the church and finds much comfort in his faith.
Jenni is a member of Rob's church and her and her firefighter husband Craig met Rob and Carly at antenatal classes. The four of them are close friends and their children play together.
Whilst on a camping holiday Carly asks Rob a question that many wives have asked their husbands, "If you could have any woman, who would it be?"
His answer is the catalyst to what happens next........
This book is surprising as I didn't like or identify with any of the characters. This doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the book, I did immensely. It is just very unusual not to like at least one of the main characters at some point through the book.
There is sex, drugs and murder and the ending was a surprise.
I would recommend this book if you enjoy psychological thrillers.
