Are You Sleeping - Family Drama with a Twist of Murder

Are You Sleeping: A Novel

The summary blurbs about this novel don't do it justice.  The story is more than one woman's challenge to return to her family despite lying to her boyfriend.  Turns out there is a significant mystery yet to be solved, and deception from many family members about what happened complicates the story line.

What's different about this book
The author develops (albeit slowly) a genuine mystery about just what happened ten years ago.  Rather than primarily a family drama, this book was enjoyable for the suspense and well-complicated plot line that kept the reader guessing. 

What I'll do now that I've read it
This is a great read for a wide range of readers.  I'll be able to share and book talk it with my young adult library patrons as well as my adult mystery aficionados.  Clean yet compelling - this book is worth sticking with to learn all the hidden truths.
