C.L. Taylor
'A dazzlingly clever book where nothing is quite as it seems' ELLY GRIFFITHS
It's a dangerous thing to know too much.
Expect the unexpected in the ingenious new thriller from the bestselling author of Every Move You Make and It's Always the Husband.
Oxford University, 1995.
Three student deaths in three weeks can't be a coincidence. Ned Marlowe doesn't think so, but no one wants to listen to him: not his professor or the clique of elitist psychology undergraduates he supervises.
Then Celia, a student in a nearby building, tells Ned what she saw the night of the last death, and his suspicions deepen into obsession.
Someone is trying to stop him from getting to the truth. The less he knows, the better.
But Ned can't let it go...

Critic reviews
Deliciously dark and beautifully written, a gripping thriller that will keep you guessing until the end (Alice Feeney)
A dazzlingly clever book where nothing is quite as it seems. A tour-de-force from C. L. Taylor (Elly Griffiths)
A wonderfully satisfying treasure-hunt of a novel; secret keys, mysterious torn pages, shadowy professors, echoing bell towers and lyrical prose provide lashings of atmosphere and intrigue (Erin Kelly)
C. L. Taylor's foray into the world of dark academia is addictive, haunting and beautifully drawn - confounds to the very last page (Clare Leslie Hall)
Chilling, clever and utterly compelling. Notes on an Obsession draws you deep into the shadowy world of 1990s Oxford university where secrets linger and the past refuses to stay buried. Atmospheric, twisty and full of emotional depth this is a masterclass in dark academia with an unforgettable protagonist at its heart. Exceptional! (Claire Douglas)
C. L. Taylor's foray into dark academia - disquieting, convincing and emotionally wrenching (Ruth Ware)
It's just so damn good you'll want to read it twice. A delicious, slow burn that ignites into a firecracker of a story (John Marrs)
Intense, vivid, and original, Notes on an Obsession takes psychological suspense to a new level. Utterly addictive, I couldn't put it down and raced through to find out what was going on (Andrea Mara)
Mindbendingly good (M. J. Arlidge)
Notes on an Obsession is absolutely superb (and a perfect bookclub read). Dark Academia at its most addictive. Loved the 80s and 90s atmosphere, and the fascinating psychology details. Utterly absorbing - it grips like a steel trap (Will Dean)
Strap yourself in for a wild ride! C. L Taylor has written a clever and classy campus crime thriller with all the panache you're expecting... and all the twists and turns you're not. Top marks for style and ingenuity (Janice Hallett)
C. L. Taylor slips to the dark side in this twisted mystery that grips and confounds to the very last page. Notes on an Obsession is an intricate spider's web of a novel, shadowy, hypnotic and constantly surprising, delivered by an author in full flight of her powers (Emma Stonex)
Steeped in 90s nostalgia and with an intriguing and complex mystery at its heart, this book is about to become your next obsession. A smart, unputdownable thriller that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew (Fiona Cummins)
Notes on an Obsession is sophisticated, stylish and wholly distinctive: part literary suspense, part out-of-the-past mystery, and -- this being Taylor -- altogether spellbinding. It has the elegance and clarity of a fair-play puzzle, sharp and disciplined, clean and classic, but it moves forward at a breathless pace. Most of today's thrillers wear training wheels. C. L. Taylor writes suspense for grown-ups (A. J. Finn)
