Anna O by Matthew Blake
4.0
We spend an average of 33 years of our lives asleep. But what really happens, and what are we capable of, when we sleep?
Anna Ogilvy was a writer with a bright future. Then, one night, she stabbed two people to death with no apparent reason then went to sleep and didn't wake up she has been Dubbed “Sleeping Beauty” by the tabloids, Anna’s condition is suffering from a disorder known to neurologists as “resignation syndrome.”
Dr. Benedict Prince is a forensic psychologist and an expert in the field of sleep-related homicides. His methods are the last hope of solving the infamous “Anna O’”case and waking Anna up so she can stand trial. As Anna shows the first signs of waking up, Benedict has to decide is Anna really guilty and should be held responsible for her crimes. Only Anna knows the truth about that night, but only Benedict knows how to discover it. Will the truth put them both in danger
Initially I did struggle to get into this one and felt a bit lost at the start but once it got going I was hooked a very intriguing story. This was fast paced with a short chaper format that would worked so well. The final twist had my jaw hit the floor and I was not expecting it at all. Would definitely recommend picking this up and giving it a try.
