alisonannk 's review for:

The Sleepwalker by Joseph Knox
5.0

A riveting crime/mystery perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole or Chris Brookmyre's Jack Parlabane characters.

Aidan Waits is as damaged a police officer as you can get and the author writes him so well that he feels authentic and the reader can really connect with him. Despite his flaws and rule bending you can't help but empathise with him and root for him to succeed. The other characters are loveable/abhorent/intriguing too and the story really comes to life as you engage in their tales.

There were some unexpected twists (although I partly guessed Esther's story very early on) that keep the pace going.

I actually have the first book in this series on my to read pile so will definitely be going back to it. Can't wait to see what is next in store for Aidan Waits after this too.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and author for this advanced read copy.
