About this listen

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?

Critic reviews

"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)

Was a good listen.
Good portrayal of mental health issues.
Was somewhat far fetched in parts a bit too er unbelievable I think is the word.
Generally not too bad.

Good story worth a listen

Lots of unpredictable twists and turns , the best psychological thriller I've read in a long time . Gripping and very well written and narration was perfect for each character.

Excellent

Perhaps a touch long in the middle section but a great story, extremely well narrated. Kept me guessing all the way through and we'll defined relatable characters. Highly recommended and addictive.

Excellent

Overly descriptive and convoluted. Some of the descriptions made me cringe. I lost count of how many times Jenny's eyes were described as 'chocolate brown, mixed with fudge' etc.
I prefer this author's other books.

A bit far-fetched

I am 72 years old and loved books for about 62 of them, usually romance at one time but then became a big fan of psychological thrillers. Some of them exceptional. This, in my personal opinion, isn't one of them. Run of the mill storyline, plenty of not very interesting sex scenes which became boring and I found the narrator's accent too posh. I don't think I shall bother choosing this author again.

NOT WORTH WASTING A CREDIT ON.

I battled through to the end but it was a slog as each of the 4 main characters took turns to do or say something completely left field. 180 degree personality changes and complete lack of consistency made this a head scratching, irritating read. Shame because I enjoyed other titles from this author

unrealistic characters

Positive - great narrators
Negative- long winded storyline that even as you get to the ending you're still left with questions.
Rubbish, confusing and don't waste your money

Awful ending, so many questions left unanswered and at the end it was like the writer just ran out of storylines so the book ended.

Very poor

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I cannot understand how this has gotten so many good reviews. A mental breakdown thrown in with a bit of porn, religion and murder. A psychological thriller it is not. Save yourself a book credit and buy something else!

Weak plot, awful characters and terribly written!

Very easy to listen to and the story races along, performances are generally good but the plot becomes ridiculous.

Implausible
