She receives a mysterious letter detailing a list of suspects including Riley’s sworn enemy, actor Grant Wilson. But with an obsessive passion brewing between her and Grant and a dangerous assassin trailing her every move it would seem Amy has opened a deadly and tempting Pandora’s Box.

Review
Deadly Obsession is the first book by Nigel May that I have
read and it totally exceeded my expectations, it was gritty, sexy, and
scandalous and an utterly brilliant read. I can totally see why he has been
dubbed the “male Jackie Collins” as his writing has that glamorous and slightly
dark style.
In Deadly Obsession we meet Amy who is still grieving for
the loss of her husband, her nightclub and her perfect glamorous lifestyle. Six
months after his death Amy receives a letter handwritten by Riley dated just
two days earlier telling her not everything is not as is seems and someone needs
to pay for his death. Confused and upset Amy heads back to Manchester and her
old life to try and figure out exactly what happened on that fateful night and
if Riley is actually alive after all. As
Amy begins to unravel events leading up to Riley’s death she realises her life
wasn’t as perfect as she thought and she’s actually treading in quite dangerous
circles. Can she find out what really happened to Riley and keep herself safe?
I was hooked on this book from the very start, the mysterious
death of Riley had me intrigued and the more I read the more I enjoyed it as
more characters became involved and the plot twists kept coming. It’s a book
filled with shocks and an ending that you just won’t see coming, at least I
didn’t!
I loved how this book was written taking us between the past
and the present so we could build up a picture of Amy’s life with Riley and now
as she searches for answers. I also loved that others characters are brought to
life in their own chapters so we gained the feelings and actions of all the
main players in the book, making the tangled web around Amy even more
convincing.
Thank you to Bookouture and Netgalley for the review copy, I’ve
found another great author and cannot wait to read Nigel’s other books. I rate
Deadly Obsession 5 out of 5 I loved it!
