My Review:

Published in 2001

I became obsessed with this book! Sat down and started reading and barely moved until I'd finished. Wiled away an entire day because there was just something about this story and these characters that consumed me. (Well, that and the fact that I was avoiding a nasty housekeeping chore. lol)

Writing styles have changed over the last decade and a half and that made Obsession an interesting read as well. Put me in mind of classic storytellers like Mary Stewart and Phyllis A. Whitney. It doesn't have the Gothic aspect, mind you, just the ambiance and the way the words are arranged on the page are the same. And classic elements like a heroine torn between two men, a mystery that begins with no more than a hunch but develops into something much more sinister as events play out. A very smooth, engaging read.
