Twenty years ago, Arden Maynor survived a literal nightmare after sleepwalking into a storm drain and becoming trapped for days. The media frenzy and the public’s obsession with the miracle girl forced her to change her name to Olivia and move across the country. Now, as the anniversary of her rescue approaches, she wakes up in her yard to find the body of a man she once knew at her feet. Olivia must confront her history of somnambulism and the fragmented memories of her childhood tragedy to determine if she is a witness or a murderer.
This book serves readers who enjoy psychological mysteries centered on memory gaps and the loss of autonomy. It targets those interested in the psychological toll of unwanted fame and the physiological complexities of sleep disorders. Readers walk away with a look at how past trauma dictates physical responses in the present. It provides a puzzle involving unreliable narration and the logistical reality of living under constant public scrutiny while trying to maintain a private identity.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
