Norman has written a number of great novels (some average ones as well to be honest) whose subject matters emulate the paths taken of classics modern great writers such as Bernard Taylor. To be honest although her books were great she'd never quite mastered the obsessed, possessive evil one thriller to the level of the great authors. That is until she wrote Guilt.

Guilt is a can't put down until the last page masterpiece of a mentally deranged and insecure young boy who grew up to become pure self centred and evil man. Silas Graves uses domestic abuse, physical but mostly mental, to manipulate his sister then later in life girlfriend Abigail to get whatever he wants. He expects them both to love him exclusively and sees everything they do without his permission such as talking to another man or accepting a lift home when he abandons them in the middle of nowhere for acting childish (in his opinion) as utter betrayal. Silas knows he must punish and make the situation right by any means necessary. Guilt is a window into pure evil and domestic abuse taken to its highest level. Sure you won't exactly feel sorry for Abigail as she's not the most innocent person herself, but you'll see through her acceptances from his words that situations were all her fault, mirrors of real life victims, this realism makes Guilt that much more terrifying.

Also read Twisted Minds by Norman, it is another great novel of manipulation of others by possessive evil.
