Obsession series
The Mosquito was a quick read that pulled me in immediately. The buzzing of a mosquito does not compare to the annoying, passive aggressive habits of Rupert, one of the friends invited on a vacation in the south of France. He constantly pesters mild-mannered Michael, much like the mosquitos that also plague poor Michael.
An interesting short story that kept my attention but finished exactly how I thought it would.

Book Description from GoodReads: After his marriage fails, he hopes a vacation in France will relax and restore him. But fate has something more poisonous in store in this biting tale from bestselling author B. A. Paris.
Michael wanted to back out of this trip to the South of France after his wife left him, but his sister and their friends wouldn’t hear of it. His fellow houseguest Rupert isn’t in the mood, either, having recently been widowed. But rather than bonding, Michael is unsettled by Rupert’s constant needling. That and the bug bites are enough to suck the life right out of an idyllic holiday.
The Mosquito is part of Obsession, a collection of compulsively readable short stories about people pushed to their extremes. So addictive you won’t be able to put them down—read or listen to each story in a single sitting.
