I am currently reading The Mysterious Affair at Castaway House by Stephanie Lam
Blurb
It’s 1965 and eighteen year-old Rosie Churchill has run away to the beautiful but run-down Castaway House in the seaside town of Helmstone. But when she uncovers a scandal locked away in the walls of the old house, she soon comes to realise that neither her own troubled past nor that of the house will stay buried for long. . .
In 1924 fresh-faced Robert Carver comes to Castaway House to spend a languid summer in the company of his much wealthier cousin, Alec Bray. But the Brays are a damaged family, with damaging secrets. And little does Robert know that his world is about to change for ever.
As Rosie begins to learn more about Robert, the further she is drawn into the mysterious history of the house, and their stories, old and new, entwine. NetGalley
I have just finished The Sea Garden by Deborah Lawrenson, a historical novel told in three separate parts which are cleverly drawn together for a fantastic finale.

Next I am going to read Because She Loves Me by Mark Edwards after really enjoying, and book-pushing The Magpies by the same author, I have high hopes for this one.
Blurb
When Andrew Sumner meets beautiful, edgy Charlie, he is certain his run of bad luck has finally come to an end.
But as the two of them embark on an intense affair, Andrew wonders if his grasp on reality is slipping. Items go missing in his apartment. Somebody appears to be following him. And as misfortune and tragedy strike his friends and loved ones, Andrew is forced to confront the frightening truth…
Is Charlie really the girl of his dreams – or the woman of his nightmares? NetGalley

…Castaway House has really got me hooked, there are a number of mysteries going on which keeps me turning those pages. I loved The Magpies which was Mark Edwards first solo book (he normally writes with Louise Voss) so I think this will get me back in the seat of the psychological again.

The Sea Garden is a great read, the three characters live very different lives even though Marthe and Iris are in the same time period. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

Imagine if objects and other items around us could talk about what they’ve witnessed over the years. And what drives a person to obsession? The human mind is complex and we still have yet to have a complete understanding of how it works.

The Mysterious Affair at Castaway House is a great read on many different levels which I think I wide range of readers will enjoy. Obsession as you say is borne out of a troubled mind, one set of circumstances will cause different people to react in a totally different manner, I think this is why it is such a rich source for fiction writers.
