This is book 11 in the DCI Danny Flint crime series. DCI Flint and his team is solving the murder of a has been TV star and looking for a drug dealer supplying deadly ecstacy to club goers. I did not know this was part of a series, and it goes against every grain of my being to read a series out of order. However, this book does stand on its own and I had no issues understanding the plot.

The book moves along at a good pace with lots of twists. It was an interesting police procedural and fans of that genre will like this book. The prose was pretty deeply Scottish or British? I'm not sure but I did have a hard time with some parts of the book. All in all a good story.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. I do recommend this book and am greatly appreciative of the copy of the book.

Another murder case to solve in the DCI Danny Flint series. It can be read on it's own but I would recommend the series. I like the developing characterisation and the glimpse into the personal lives of the team. The plotting is good, with plenty twists, and the pace is steady with plenty red herrings along the way. This is a good, solid police procedural which fans of the genre will love. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

A Fatal Obsession by Trevor Negus follows DCI Danny Flint and his team as they try to solve the murder of a faded TV star and a drug dealer responsible for the death of a young club goer.
The team work well together and the book gives glimpse into the private lives of one or two of them where relevant to the storyline.
The plot moves along at a steady pace and held my interest throughout.
A good read for fans of crime novels

The mystery was very exciting and it kept me hooked. I felt immersed into the plot and trying to figure out the mystery.

Trevor Negus has written a frightening and engrossing mystery with A Fatal Obsession.

Guy, a famous TV star is murdered. As DCI Flint begins her search for the killer she uncovers a plethora of people with reason to kill him. It turns out that Guy is a man who has done a lot of people wrong.

In the course of the investigation a suicide occurs - or is it suicide?

The two investigations intersect at one point so the question of who the killer is becomes a crucial one to be answered asap
