Obsessed

De: M. William Phelps

Narrado por: J. Charles

Sheila Davalloo was young, attractive, and successful. When she started a new job at a cutting-edge research lab in Stamford, Connecticut, she met the man of her dreams. Nelson Sessler had no idea how violently Sheila would react when he began seeing a co-worker, Anna Lisa Raymundo. Sheila eliminated her rival in a bloody knife attack - and then turned her rage on another victim she saw as an obstacle to her passions. M. Williams Phelps recounts the riveting story of a white-collar love triangle gone horribly wrong…and the terrifying infatuation that drove one woman to kill.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Anything by Phelps is always an eye-opening experience.” ( Suspense Magazine)

“Phelps is the Harlan Coben of real-life thrillers.” (Allison Brennan)

Doesn't fit...

...to my desire for a story! Too much time spent on description and too little on dialogue. I wish I hadn't spent the money.

crazy story

such a crazy story... if it was fiction it would have been too unrealistic... Shelia is a diabolical character. when I first started the book I thought I could see how the whole story was going to play out... however there was some jaw dropping plot twists weaved in...great book!

This is a good book about a really Crazy Murderer

I was not bothered by the narrator. The book is really good and if you know about this case from podcasts and the Netflix show, there is so much more to it. This book lays it all out. Poor Ana - she was doomed. I don't think anything could have saved her from this monster.

Wonderful Account

This book. Deep pics, the true antisocial personality, so well known for there manipulation and reckless disregard for the rights of others. Sheila is where she belongs. God bless Paul and Anna Lisa’s family. Mr. Phelps is a wonderful author.

Avoid this narrator

The story is complelling in its picture of a sociopathic opportunist who manipulates everyone in her path, including her children. The narration, however, is awful: the narrator chants rather than reads, and portrays the main character (who is in her mid-late thirties) with the accent and intonation of a demented valley girl. Very grating, and spoils what would have otherwise been a very good book

Terrible Narration

I read this book a while back and decided to listen to it in audio format because the story is so crazy. I enjoy Phelps’s writing, so there is nothing wrong with the story, but the narration is horrible. The voices her puts on to distinguish a speaking character are laughable. It’s so bad it makes it literally difficult to continue listening. They need to make a Waze/like option to choose the sound of your narrator. A great book can be ruined by an intolerable narrator.

Not bad

Any additional comments?

I actually live nearby where Shiela and her husband lived. The author had some minor location errors but the story was easy to follow. The only issue was if you had no idea who the killer was when you started the book, this was given to you by the author very early on. This book I believe is probably purchased mostly by the locals in the various communities or people that were directly involved in the case. Guys (and girls) watch out who you become involved with !

True Female Psychopath

A well written story giving the reader a true to life experience of a female psychopath. Anyone who has ever dealt with such a person will appreciate the authentic portrayal. If you've never experienced a female psychopath, this book brings you as close as possible to a real life encounter.

This is a good one

Wow the things people do just amaze me sometimes. This is a nicely written work of Mr. Phelps. The narrator does a good job except one of his voices bothered me a bit, but that can be over looked.

If you like this one and haven't read his Perfect Poison - please do so. You'll enjoy that bizarre story as much as this one if not more.

For Crime buffs a great listen

For those who enjoy crime true stories this one a is a good listen well written and read
