julzmcg 's review for:
The Obsession
by Nora Roberts
Like many of Roberts' books, this one shows us a strong woman who is trying to escape her past and finally, after many years of running, put down roots. She doesn't want to become a part of the community, she just wants somewhere to hide, but day by day, little by little, this community finds it's way into her heart.
It begins with an opening that tears at your heart for 12 year old Naomi. We then jump ahead to grown-up Naomi finding her way and her home. As she begins to discover what it means to belong, one of the women in town turns up dead...not far from Naomi's home and is found by Naomi. One death means nothing to worry about...right??
I enjoyed this read - the action at the beginning, the finding a place and letting herself grow in the middle, then the thriller as it builds. I love that I did not pick who was obsessed with Naomi. To me, this is always the sign of a well-written book because it kept me guessing, right until the end.
If you love Nora Roberts, if you love strong women and you love a book that twists right until the end, do yourself a favour and give this book a try.
I have an advanced reading copy of this book which will be released in April.
