The Butterfly Collector

Restless property developer, Peter Calliet, meets a sullen young woman at a party and an obsession begins that links past and present in a deepening tragedy.

Peter has everything in terms of material success and security. The obligatory fast car, lucrative contracts with his powerfully-connected father's property empire and a plush renovated flat. Devoted fiancee, Claudia, expects to move in and marriage is imminent. But Peter has a dark past that taints his movements. Meeting Natalie, a volatile artist with an equally disturbed background, can only lead to more heartache. If Claudia discovers that Peter has been seeing Natalie, her dream world will be destroyed, adding to his burden of guilt. But even that can't stop him. The secure and rewarding life he has worked so hard to achieve begins to unrvel.

I must say at first I disliked Peter Calliet, he is everything about a man that I despise, has he not heard the saying why go out for burgers when you have steak at home?. I have been caught by this type of man before this is probably why I felt a strong dislike to him. However, I realised that the women were just as bad as he was. By the end I actually felt sorry for him, I did start to think "oh no don't feel sorry for him, he bought it on himself" but I am a soft touch and think with my emotions.
I have not read a book like this from a males perspective before so it made a change. It was well written and flowed at an even pace.
It was an enjoyable read and I would like to read more from Adam Dickson in the future.
