Despite finishing the middle portion of this book really slow going, it actually ended up being really good. And although I anticipated what Robin's guilt was about, I totally didn't see the twist coming!

The writing a little simple and plot a little predictable for my liking.

The start was a little slow and uninteresting, but got better as the story progressed.

I was excited to read The Innocent Sleep as one of my favourite, mystery fictional writers Tana French who also sets her books in Dublin and the surrounding areas gave it a huge endorsement. I was waiting for the complicated twist at the end of the novel to come as I had guessed all the smaller ones but alas I had just guessed right and there were no more plot turns. I sort of knew that reviewers only have to scan a book to write a complimentary review and get a compensating kick back but this one seemed a lie in the first degree. I was left to finish the last few cloying chapters in the hope I had missed something but alas no, just my nails as I dragged them down the chalkboard in frustration.

The Innocent Sleep was an ok book. I really did not like Harry as a character. I felt for him and Robyn with the loss of Dillon, but I couldn't shake the feeling that there were no redeeming qualities in him even before they had Dillon.

A bit slow at first, but by the end... What in the fuck happened. The speed and chaos at which I did not expect any of that to happen, it's hard to surprise me so great job.

This was a fun and fast-paced plot twist. Its unique narratives, colorful characters and settings provide for an entertaining storyline. I really enjoyed reading this thriller and the writer, who flew all the way from Ireland to attend our wedding in Ohio, was definitely one reason why the book was so much fun for me to read but not the only reason.
