About this listen
The riveting novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Liar.
“She stood in the deep, dark woods, breath shallow and cold prickling over her skin despite the hot, heavy air. She took a step back, then two, as the urge to run fell over her.”
Naomi Bowes lost her innocence the night she followed her father into the woods. In freeing the girl trapped in the root cellar, Naomi revealed the horrible extent of her father’s crimes and made him infamous. No matter how close she gets to happiness, she can’t outrun the sins of Thomas David Bowes.
Now a successful photographer living under the name Naomi Carson, she has found a place that calls to her, a rambling old house in need of repair, thousands of miles away from everything she’s ever known. Naomi wants to embrace the solitude, but the kindly residents of Sunrise Cove keep forcing her to open up - especially the determined Xander Keaton.
Naomi can feel her defenses failing, and knows that the connection her new life offers is something she’s always secretly craved. But the sins of her father can become an obsession, and, as she’s learned time and again, her past is never more than a nightmare away.

Narration was not bad, but it was difficult to hear the difference between characters in conversations as her female voices sounded too similar.
Overall ok, but not a patch on her Chesapeake novels or the High Noon era writing.
ok but not her best

The Obsession delivers where some more recent listens have been somewhat flaccid and distinctly lacking in tension.
My personal tastes is for less graphic and really heinous suffering meted out to victims. The crimes described in The Obsession are undeniably grim but the sadistic cruelty isn’t as relentless as in, for example, Come Sundown. It’s nasty stuff but all in all this is a tauter, tighter listen than some, and the better for it.
Recommended as a good Roberts, not as brilliant, as for example, The Witness, but absolutely worth a listen.
