Praise for Twisted Obsession

"A very dark and scary ride to a place most of us will never see. Mark Kearney's book is reminiscent of Jim Thompson's classic The Killer Inside Me and may, in fact, signal the beginning of a new chapter in crime fiction: Virginia Noir. Read it."

-- Peter Blauner New York Times bestselling author of The Intruder and Slipping Into Darkness"

Twisted Obsession is Mark Kearney's debut novel. He is an up and coming crime thriller author who, if he continues to write this way, may find himself being compared to Patricia Cornwell.- Michael Timlin, Staff Reviewer, Authors on the Rise Book Reviews.
