⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'Anna O' by Matthew Blake is definitely a read for 2024.
Anna Ogilvy was a budding twenty-five-year-old writer with a bright future. Then, one night, she stabbed two people to death with no apparent motive—and hasn’t woken up since. Dubbed “Sleeping Beauty” by the tabloids, Anna’s condition is a rare psychosomatic 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. But he must be careful treating such a high-profile suspect—he’s got career secrets and a complicated personal life of his own.
This book is fast paced and it is helped by the different narration you hear in the different chapters. Each character tells you their tale from their perspective and from different time periods. The characters are very well described and they really stay with you.
This story definitely has twists and turns but due to the story telling of the author you can follow the story.
As much as you try and guess you can't imagine how the story is going to be concluded and it definitely kept me guessing until the end.
A great book and highly recommended. Can't wait for more from this author.
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley in allowing me to read in return for a review.
