The Seduction of Monet Dawson is a taunt thriller with 15 chapters about a military spouse living outside Camp Pendleton, the base Johnny Carson used to talk about all the time.This woman thinks not much of herself outside of her husband's life which is his chase of a career with sacrifice and compromise. It becomes unbearable.She finds a guy who makes her question what she knows about love. "Caller in Distress" in Chapter One lets you know about June 18, 1991 and a 911 emergency call. A Johnny Gill song is played which makes the piece familiar."Psycho" is Chapter Two in which you know why there is so much fear and anger. There is blood splatter when the cops get on the scene. There are actual police reports in this book so you know it is based on a true event.There is not much levity in this tale of domestic abuse and violence. Since it sounds like a true story, it is shaky to talk about it since there is a possibility of lawsuits.There is drinking. There is also a point of view about the military. This story involves hypnotism and a trip to Cambridge, England 20 years later.Based on a true story, we learn about military wife Monet Dawson in her life at a military base in California.The year is 1991, Camp Pendleton. There are even police reports in this book which prove it is true.There is hypnosis. The reader feels a little disturbed when the first person account delves into people seen who are not really there. There are a lot of newspaper stories to back up this tale.There's not enough text, and it's a little boring.
