Deadly Obsession - Nigel May

Deadly Obsession – Nigel May

(4 / 5)

Oh Bookouture… Have you ever published a bad book? If you have, I haven’t read it yet… Yet another great read!

Amy and Riley Hart have it all. A fabulous marriage, and bucket loads of cash. But when one fateful night changes everything, Amy is left without her husband and also her beloved best friend. Six months later she receives a letter in the mail… From Riley… But how could this be? She watched him die… Or did she? The chase is on for Amy to find a murderer, and the truth about her seemingly perfect life.

What a delightful, fun and HOT story! Yes ladies and gentlemen, this book is not for the under 18’s. Its full of scandal and lots of sweaty romps between the sheets… Also add a bit of violence and suspense and a hell of a mystery and it was quite the page turner.

It was quite a ride – kept me guessing, almost until the very end. I figured out part of the picture towards the end, but the complexity of it still took me by surprise.

The format was slightly difficult to get used to. There was a lot of chopping and changing back and forth in time, to sometimes seemingly random points in time before and after the fateful night. But I soon got used to the format. I quite like books that do this when they are done well.

I really enjoyed Amy’s quest to find out who “tried” to murder her husband. There were lots of twists and turns, lots of sordid secrets and you couldn’t help but get into the story. There were perhaps a few too many characters and a bit too much going on for me to enjoy it to its fullest potential, at times it dragged on a bit for me. But overall it was a really good read. Even though the barrage of characters got on my nerves a bit, it was great that you literally had so many potential bad guys to choose from, all with their own motives.

Would I recommend Deadly Obsession?

Yes, who doesn’t like a good bit of drama, intrigue, sex, money, power and violence. I will have to check out more books by Nigel May, and It was another hit from the ever impressive Bookouture.

Many thanks to author Nigel May and my favourite publisher Bookouture via NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
