Slaves of Obsession is interesting for several reasons: a change of venue to America, an examination of morality and patriotism, and several puzzles including the usual who 'dunnit'. William Monk attends his first battlefield at Bull Run and gains a deeper understanding of his newly wed spouse, Hester, nursing experiences during the Crimean War. Because of the American civil war the arguments of the time of slavery and state rights are also touched on. On the whole, the writing about these issues are at least or even perhaps more interesting than the narrative about discovering the murderer.
