I've been a fan of Cally for a while now and she's quite easily one of my favourite authors. I won The Treatment in 2017 and prior to that I read The Missing and loved both. So when I read she had a new book out, I just had to get on amazon and order it. Few days later and voila, I had a copy in my hands.
Just like her previous book I could hardly put down Sleep. It took me an average of 4 days to read it in total while juggling work etc. It was easy to read and also perfect for anyone dipping their toes in the thriller genre. You best grab a cup of your favourite hot beverage and clear your day because you'll be hooked. I also loved the detail under the sleeve of the book. If you're reading this then I am no longer alive
I don't want to give away anything but the plot is that Anna, our protagonist, is driving back from a company event with colleagues and an accident happens. People die. She blames herself for everything and it haunts her. So she relocates to a remote island in Scotland, working in a hotel. Which has 7 guests joining her and each have a secret. And one of them is a murderer. Dun dun dunnnnnnn.
I feel like Taylor could have added more chilling parts to the book. I was intrigued by this mystery of who was trying to kill Anna but nothing made me shiver. I felt like she could have pushed a little bit into the horror side but it still kept me on my toes and reminded me of Cluedo and I love Cluedo!
Although I can't fault the pacing of this book. It's not a slow burn, its fast and furious and everything starts happening. Guilt is a large theme in this book and how we deal with loss and it works very well with the horrors that are unfolding around Anna.
I can't wait for whatever Cally does next. I know I will read whatever she brings to my bookcase. :D
Who are some of your favourite Thriller authors and have you read any of Cally Taylors books, if you did which one and what did you think of it?
