4 Stars from me
This is a dark and enticing thriller, about Anna Ogilvy, a young writer, who commits a brutal double murder while sleepwalking – this is bewitching enough but to add to the mystery, she hasn’t opened her eyes since.
Some believe her to be guilty, some believe her to be innocent, either way, Anna O, Sleeping Beauty, has captured the attention of the world and everyone wants to hear her story.
Despite all efforts to rouse her, Anna O has seemingly remained asleep for years and in the book we see her brought under the care of esteemed forensic psychologist Dr Benedict Prince who firmly believes that he is the prince charming who can awaken the sleeping beauty.
I wasn’t at all sure what to expect from this story, I had some early ideas but there are many mysteries to unfold – least of all the big question of whether Anna O will wake up…
Blurb: Anna Ogilvy hasn’t opened her eyes for four years
Not since that night at The Farm when she was found asleep with a kitchen knife in her hand, her clothes bloodstained, the bodies of her two best friends lying close.
She’d committed the crime of the century – but nothing and no-one could wake her from the nightmare.
Believers in her innocence call her Anna O. Believers in her guilt call her Sleeping Beauty.
But no-one can take their eyes off the story . . .
