Although Alex and Henry’s relationship is the heart of the story, their friends and family members are all rich, well-drawn characters, and their respective worlds feel both realistic and larger-than-life. I’ve actually not read a lot of Roberts’ (non-In Death) novels for that same reason Martha and really only (now) request ones that sound like there’s a strong suspenseful element. „The Obsession” was for sure a book with a difference, about some really difficult matters, about many different issues, written in very hooking, descriptive, vivid way and the author brought everything: characters, feelings, events to life and I truly enjoyed it.
