It is a simple question – a little game – that will destroy her life. Carly and Rob are a perfect couple. They share happy lives with their children and their close friends Craig and Jenny. They’re lucky. But beneath the surface, no relationship is simple: can another woman’s husband and another man’s wife ever just be good friends? Little by little, Carly’s question sends her life spiralling out of control, as she begins to doubt everything she thought was true. Who can she trust? The man she has promised to stick by forever, or the best friend she has known for years? And is Carly being entirely honest with either of them? Obsession is a dark, twisting thriller about how quickly our lives can fall apart when we act on our desires. Perfect for fans of B A Paris and Jackie Kabler. ‘This is one highly addictive novel!’ WENDY WALKER, AUTHOR OF ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN ‘A compelling page-turner on the dark underbelly of marriage, friendship and lust’ FIONA CUMMINS, AUTHOR OF RATTLE Review: Gripping sexy read - I don’t normally read this kind of book, but being a psychological thriller it caught my attention and I’m very glad it did. It’s an easy, well written accessible read and you’re quickly drawn into the story, initially from heroine Carly’s point of view. Carly is married to good natured doctor Rob, and their friends Jenni and Craig soon enter the tale and all kinds of sparks fly in every imaginable direction. The story is told from different points of view, which makes for interesting reading, and somehow this author has the knack of making you long to know what is going to happen – the ‘skip forward I can’t wait’ syndrome. I can tell you this : plenty does happen – some of it exciting, some of it quite sexy, and some of it tragic. From the start you really want to know what happens to these four people and that urge never leaves you. It’s an extremely satisfying easy read and the tension builds and builds towards the many climaxes (of various kinds). If you want an easy read, that’s sexy, exciting and supremely gripping, this is for you. But be warned: once you start you cannot put it down. Review: Obsession - As soon as I saw the blurb I wanted to read this. A psychological thriller – yes please – definitely my kind of book and now after reading, I have to say it is quite different to many that I’ve encountered recently. When Carly asks her GP husband Rob one question whilst on a family holiday, it sets off a chain of events that nobody could forsee. The lesson here is don’t ask a question that you don’t want to know the answer to! Each chapter is told by one of the four characters and whilst this sometimes repeats some of the narrative, hearing their version of events in their own voice does give another perspective and a makes it a more personal and, at times, voyeuristic read. I can’t remember when I last read a book where I disliked the characters so much but then I feel that was the author’s intention. This is not a sugar coated story but more of a delve into the darker side of the human psyche. Carly, I detested from the outset. She had a nice life, children (who she didn’t seem to care for very much) and a loving husband but she still wasn’t happy, picking a fight whenever she could – my nickname for her was Carly the Cow. However, as I read on, I began to realise that none of the others were any great shakes either and actually I couldn’t really get behind any of them. Perhaps Rob, Carly’s husband, was the only one that I felt any remote sympathy for in the beginning but then he began to grate with his religious outpourings and double standards. I am not an atheist but I’m not particularly religious either and religion does feature heavily with a couple of the characters. Surprisingly so really, considering some of their thoughts and behaviour. This is very much a slow burner of a story and focuses more on the characters than actions, however, the slow build up did add to the intensity of the story – you just knew that something bad was going to happen but you couldn’t look away. The short chapters made it a very addictive read; I may not have cared much for the characters but I was still desperate to know what happened to them. There are several themes covered in this story including mental illness, depression and addiction. Don’t be mistaken however that this will be a depressing read – these darker elements add to the gritty realism and the realisation that in fact the scenarios our characters face could happen in other families. The author has woven these strands very well into a dark and gripping plot with the power to shock. One thing I should mention is that there is quite a lot of sexual content in the story, so much so that when I first started reading, I thought it was heading towards being an erotic thriller – this didn’t bother me at all but if that isn’t your thing, just be warned. Obsession is the author’s debut novel. The storytelling is accomplished and powerful and I’m looking forward to reading more by Amanda Robson. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 667,461 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 699 in Romantic Suspense (Books) 1,332 in Psychological Thrillers (Books) 2,144 in Women Writers & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 8,362 Reviews | ## Images ![OBSESSION: The bestselling psychological thriller with a shocking ending - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Zw7g3CXeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gripping sexy read *by G***T on 2 August 2017* I don’t normally read this kind of book, but being a psychological thriller it caught my attention and I’m very glad it did.

I was surprised with the amount of sexual scenes in this book and I won’t lie it was probably a bit much for me in the beginning, but after a while I did become immune to it. The plot itself was very out there, I would say there was plenty of shocking content in this, these characters were an absolute mess and it was like watching car crash tv, I couldn’t look away. However by the time it got to the second half of the book, I did start to think it was becoming a little bit repetitive and I did question these people’s behaviour constantly, it did seem to be a bit too far fetched. It did also make me feel a bit frantic at times, I’m not sure if it was the writing style or because it was so chaotic and it was the ending that really got to me, when I finished it I was sat there thinking what the hell was this all for. 🤯 I am conflicted with my rating of this, as I neither loved or hated this book and there were some aspects of it that were redeeming. I was compelled to read it and I thought it portrayed mental health problems and toxic relationships quite well, but I’m not sure I would recommend it, I will leave it up to you to decide if you want to read it on this occasion, but do the check triggers! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/51771654-obsession-the-bestselling-psychological-thriller-with-a-shocking-ending](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/51771654-obsession-the-bestselling-psychological-thriller-with-a-shocking-ending) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-28*
