Just finished "A Fatal Obsession" by Trevor Negus, and wow, what a rollercoaster! 🎢

Guy Royal, the TV star everyone loves to hate ends up dead in his mansion. DCI Flint and team dive into a messy web of enemies, ex-wives, and drug dealers, making this one of Flint's toughest cases.

I got hooked on the toxic allure of Guy Royal, a character so brilliantly awful that even his manager, Stan Jennings, seems like a saint in comparison.

But that's not all! There's a subplot involving deadly drugs in local clubs, with a runaway seller sharing his story. The narrative weaves past and present, revealing tragic attractions and unexpected connections.

Negus kept me guessing with an intricate plot, multiple love stories, and a dose of substance abuse and violence. The characters did not jump out at me immediately, but they grew on me as their relationships untangled.
This was a fantastic read that had me eagerly turning pages. Big shoutout to NetGalley and Inkubator Books for the gripping arc – my honest opinions here! Can't wait to dive into more of Negus' novels. 🕵️‍♂️📖 #AFatalObsession #BookReview #CrimeFiction
