       Praise for Amanda Robson

      ‘I absolutely loved it and raced through it. Thrilling, unputdownable, a fabulous rollercoaster of a read – I was obsessed by this book.’

       B.A. Paris, bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors and Bring Me Back

      ‘Obsession is a welcome addition to the domestic noir bookshelf. Robson explores marriage, jealousy and lust with brutal clarity, making for a taut thriller full of page-turning suspense.’

       Emma Flint, author of Little Deaths

      ‘What a page turner! Desperately flawed characters. Bad behaviour. Drugs. Sex. Murder. It’s all in there, on every page, pulling you to the next chapter until you find out where it will all end. I was compelled not only to see what every one of them would do, but also how they would describe their actions – they are brutally honest and stripped bare. This is one highly addictive novel!’

       Wendy Walker, author of All Is Not Forgotten

      ‘A compelling page-turner on the dark underbelly of marriage, friendship & lust. (If you’re considering an affair, you might want a rethink.)’

       Fiona Cummins, author of Rattle

      ‘Very pacy and twisted – a seemingly harmless conversation between husband and wife spins out into a twisted web of lies and deceit with devastating consequences.’

       Colette McBeth, author of The Life I Left Behind

      ‘Amanda Robson has some devastating turns of phrase up her sleeve and she expertly injects menace into the domestic. It was clear from the very first chapter that this was going to be a dark and disturbing journey.’

       Holly Seddon, author of Try Not To Breathe

      ‘A compelling psychosexual thriller, with some very dark undertones. Thoroughly intriguing. Amanda Robson is a new name to look out for in dark and disturbing fiction. High quality domestic noir.’

       Paul Finch, Sunday Times bestselling author of Strangers

      ‘Compelling and thoroughly addictive’

       Katerina Diamond, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Teacher

      ‘A real page-turner – deliciously dark, toxic and compelling.’

       Sam Carrington, author of Saving Sophie

      ‘I absolutely tore through Obsession – compulsive reading with characters you will love to hate and an ending that will make your jaw drop.’

       Jenny Blackhurst, bestselling author of Before I Let You In and The Foster Child

      ‘Mind games, madness and nookie in a tale that will give you pause for thought. 4 stars.’

       Sunday Sport

      ‘A dark tale of affairs gone wrong.’

       The Sun

      ‘One of the sexiest, most compelling debuts I’ve come across this year, it cries out to become a TV drama. But I recommend you read it first.’

       Daily Mail

      ‘Gripping, tragic, and sometimes insane, Guilt is an intense exploration of love, sibling relationships, obsession, drug abuse, secrets, and rape.’

       Seattle Book Review

      ‘Fast moving. Compulsive reading.’

       Jane Corry, author of The Dead Ex

      ‘An addictive, compelling read, full of tension.’

       Karen Hamilton, author of The Perfect Girlfriend

      ‘Absolutely powered through Guilt. Totally addictive and unputdownable.’

       Roz Watkins, author of The Devil’s Dice

      ‘I read Guilt over one weekend, completely enthralled. This twisty and complex tale of twin sisters and the dangerous, damaged man who comes between them kept me guessing.’

       Emma Curtis, author of When I Find You

      ‘Robson’s writing is sharp and emotive; the plot so tense and engaging. A fantastic read.’

       Elisabeth Carpenter, author of 99 Red Balloons

      ‘Packed with shocking twists, Guilt is a gritty, page-turning read that is not to be missed.’

       Petrina Banfield, author of Letters from Alice

       Dedication

      To my family.
