About this listen

‘Another brilliant read from Amanda Robson. A dark, addictive and compelling page turner!’ BA Paris, bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors

From the No.1 bestselling author of Obsession

Your sister. Her secret. The betrayal.

There is no bond greater than blood…

When the body of a woman is found stabbed to death, the blame falls to her twin sister. But who killed who? And which one is now the woman behind bars?

Zara and Miranda have always supported each other. But then Zara meets Seb, and everything changes. Handsome, charismatic and dangerous, Seb threatens to tear the sisters’ lives apart – but is he really the one to blame? Or are deeper resentments simmering beneath the surface that the sisters must face up to?

As the sisters’ relationship is stretched to the brink, a traumatic incident in Seb’s past begins to rear its head and soon all three are locked in a psychological battle that will leave someone dead. The question is, who?

Claustrophobic and compelling, Amanda Robson is back in a knock-out thriller perfect for fans of BA Paris and Louise Candlish. If you love this, don’t miss Amanda Robson’s next book My Darling.

Critic reviews

‘Gripping, tragic, and sometimes insane, Guilt is an intense exploration of love, sibling relationships, obsession, drug abuse, secrets, and rape.’ SEATTLE BOOK REVIEW

‘Fast moving. Compulsive reading.’ JANE CORRY

‘An addictive, compelling read, full of tension.’ KAREN HAMILTON

‘Another brilliant read from Amanda Robson. A dark, addictive and compelling page turner!’ BA PARIS

‘Absolutely powered through Guilt.Totally addictive and unputdownable.’ ROZ WATKINS

I read Guilt over one weekend, completely enthralled. This twisty and complex tale of twin sisters and the dangerous, damaged man who comes between them kept me guessing.’
EMMA CURTIS

‘Robson’s writing is sharp and emotive; the plot so tense and engaging. A fantastic read.’ ELISABETH CARPENTER

‘Packed with shocking twists, Guilt is a gritty, page-turning read that is not to be missed.’ PETRINA BANFIELD

‘I absolutely loved it and raced through it. Thrilling, unputdownable, a fabulous rollercoaster of a read – I was obsessed by this book.’ B A PARIS

‘Obsession is a welcome addition to the domestic noir bookshelf. Robson explores marriage, jealousy and lust with brutal clarity, making for a taut thriller full of page-turning suspense.’ EMMA FLINT

“What a page turner! Desperately flawed characters. Bad behaviour. Drugs. Sex. Murder.This is one highly addictive novel!” WENDY WALKER

"A compelling page-turner on the dark underbelly of marriage, friendship & lust. (If you're considering an affair, you might want a rethink)." FIONA CUMMINS

‘Very pacy and twisted – a seemingly harmless conversation between husband and wife spins out into a twisted web of lies and deceit with devastating consequences.' COLETTE MCBETH

‘Expertly injects menace into the domestic. It was clear from the very first chapter that this was going to a dark and disturbing journey.’ HOLLY SEDDON

‘Compelling and thoroughly addictive’ KATERINA DIAMOND,

‘A real page-turner – deliciously dark, toxic and compelling’ SAM CARRINGTON

Definitely a keeper. I loved this book, I liked the combination of characters especially Sebastian, although he’s the one you’ll love to hate. So well written and well chosen narrators. 5 stars

Gripping

Struggled with this due to the repetitive nature. 'our eyes melted...' 'his eyes burned... ' 'his melted honey eyes...' It took too long to get going, the reference to 'cutting' felt too voyeuristic and bordered inappropriate for me. The constant use of 'mother' was annoying and felt inauthentic. Shame as it could have been a good story.

It's OK

After reading recent reviews, I had expexted to be dissappointed. The story held me throughout x

Suprisingly good.

Nothing about this book was enjoyable. While it is well-reviewed on line I just do not accept any of he praise this novel has received. The concept seemed interesting enough, but the build up was so drawn out that you found yourself wanting to skip entire chapters in search of plot/character development.

The biggest issue was the characters. For the plot to work on any level it was essential you felt some connection to the characters, but they were ultimately empty voices. Something about them was too formal, referring to their mum as ‘mother’ constantly, etc etc. It just did not feel real. The sisters supposedly love each other endlessly and yet there is no explanation as to why, other than it appears to be horribly sycophantic and unhealthy. Zara comes off as such a pathetically empty woman who’s life revolves around one man in an instant, while Miranda has no discernible character traits beyond the fact she is educated and an accountant. Sebastian on the other hand is a ridiculous caricature bad-guy who’s motives are so vague that even the nice tidy explanation you’re given at the end leaves you rolling your eyes. His chapters are written so short, in an attempt to keep him as mysterious as possible, and this only emphasises just how bland he is. I’ve read children’s books with more believable antagonists.

In general the book reads like bad young adult fiction, along the lines of Twilight (though I’d argue even Stephanie Meyer was less repetitive.) Within a few chapters I was so tired of reading about characters shared looks I was rolling my eyes every time said descriptions came up - I’m sure I almost gave myself eye strain.

Not only this, but the book deals with some incredibly dark themes and appears to just gloss over them. Rape and self harm dealt with in such an empty way they appeared to be injected purely for the novel to seem ‘gritty’ or ‘real.’ This supposed realness does not come across in the book at all. I mean if Amanda Robson expects me to believe a middle-class accountant based in southern England would listen to Kid Rock let alone own enough Kid Rock merch to select a favourite t-shirt then she is out of her mind.

Honestly, I consider the fact I finished the book to be a personal failure. Avoid at all costs.
