Olen vältellyt Nora Robertsin massatuotettuja viihderomaaneja, mutta niinpä vain tartuin Helmetin e-kirjoista löytyneeseen jännäriin: The obsession (Piatkus, 2016; ISBN 978-0-349-40775-3).
Yllättävää kyllä, romaani tuli luettua loppuun asti, ja paikoitellen teksti oli suorastaan kiinnostavaa. Päähenkilö oli valokuvaaja, ja kuvaus hänen työstään tuntui varsin mallikkaasti kirjoitetulta, vaikkakin mukana oli melkolailla viihteellistäkin aineistoa. Ei tämä kirja kuitenkaan pahaa makua suuhun jättänyt, toisin kuin alunperin oletin.
Years after discovering her father's predatory double life, successful photographer Naomi Bowes struggles to hide her painful past from her fellow residents in a community thousands of miles away, a situation that introduces her to a new relationship and forces her to confront her demons.
Naomi Carson is a survivor. As a child, her family was torn apart by a shocking crime. It could have destroyed her, but Naomi has grown up strong, with a passion for photography that has taken her all around the world. Now, at last, she has decided to put down roots. The beautiful old house on Point Bluff needs work, but Naomi has new friends in town who are willing to help, including Xander Keaton - gorgeous, infuriating and determined to win her heart. But as Naomi plans for the future, her past is catching up with her. Someone in town knows her terrifying secret - and won't let her forget it. As her new home is rocked by violence, Naomi must discover her persecutor's identity, before it's too late.
