Jake is accused of killing his wife, Lucy, while his young daughter, Sienna, slept upstairs. He has no recollection of what happened the night she died, but according to his brother, Max, he has a history of sleepwalking, so he’s being evaluated at the Lundy Clinic.

After a bit of a slow start I was fully engaged in the story. You can feel his desperation to find answers. He, also, desperately wants to talk to Sienna, but his sister in law, Geraldine, is making it hard on him. There are some flashbacks to his time serving in Afghanistan, which really put us inside his head. I did have the big twist figured out, but there were some other nice surprises along the way.
Can’t say I was thrilled with the final gut punch he faced, or his choice at the end, but all in all I really liked it.

If you like an unreliable and unlikeable narrator with a dose of not knowing who to trust in a locked room clinical environment then give this one a whirl.

I won’t hesitate to pick up another book by this author.

Narration notes:
I did not listen to this one, but am just giving the info above for reference.

Book Blurb:

Don’t close your eyes…

When Jake Meredith is arrested for the murder of his wife, he’s adamant he isn’t guilty, even though her blood is all over his hands and his prints are on the murder weapon. He has no memory of attacking her.

His solicitor brother claims Jake is a sleepwalker, and he is sent to a revolutionary new sleep clinic for assessment.

Jake is convinced he didn’t kill his wife, and is intent on finding answers. But locked away in a clinic, he’s impeded at every turn. Is his incarceration accidental, or part of a larger web of lies? And worse still, is he losing his mind or the unwitting victim of something far more sinister?

All he knows is there’s something going on in the room with the red door…

A dark and twisty psychological thriller that’ll have you guessing right up until the end, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, The Silent Patient and Anna O.
