My Review
I loved the pace of this book, which is largely due to the short chapters, and probably the main reason I read this in a very short time. Having read and enjoyed Amanda Robson's debut novel 'Obsession' my expectations were high for 'Guilt' and I was not disappointed. Chapters are divided into 'past' and 'present', with 'present' being custodial and court scenes and 'past' subdivided to the specific characters point of view which is Miranda, Lara and Sebastian. Twin sisters Miranda and Lara, opposites in character but devoted to each other, live together in Miranda's apartment. Enter Sebastian, Lara's new boyfriend, who quickly moves into the apartment and also moves into Miranda's place of work. Miranda has good reason not to trust Sebastian, and has to suppress her dislike for him, for the sake of her vulnerable sister who has a history of self harm. Sebastian seems to be testing the sister's relationship beyond their limits, and one of them is killed, but which one? This dark and sexy tale, had me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see what comes next from Amanda Robson.
