4 Stars from me
Ahhh the psychological thriller equivalent of the ‘locked room crime’ – Jake’s wife is dead and he has literal blood on his hands, and his prints are all over the murder weapon. But he didn’t kill her, did he?
It seems that even Jake doesn’t know. Oldest get out in the book isn’t it, sleepwalking? Surely it can’t be true? I loved following Jake’s account and continually asking myself if he was a reliable narrator. His memory loss was convenient but also awful if he truly didn’t even know himself whether or not he had killed his wife.
The changing narration was another wonderful touch that perfectly upped the anti on the already sky high pile of doubt over what was reliable and who could be trusted. This was such an enjoyable read as the the author kept so many plates spinning that it was hard to know which ones to try and catch! A wonderful dip into a blurred reality that had me second guessing everyone and everything.
I found myself reading faster and faster in my quest to unearth the truth. My thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and the author M A Hunter for letting me be a part of the psychological roller coaster that was this book!
Blurb: When Jake Meredith is arrested for the murder of his wife, he’s adamant he’s not guilty, even though her blood is all over his hands and his prints are on the murder weapon. He has no memory of attacking her.
His solicitor brother claims Jake is a sleepwalker, and he’s sent to a revolutionary new sleep clinic for assessment.
Jake is convinced he didn’t kill his wife, and is intent on finding answers. But locked away in a clinic, he’s impeded at every turn. Is his incarceration accidental, or part of a larger web of lies? And worse still, is he losing his mind or the unwitting victim of something far more sinister?
