Books by Matthew Blake
“It is twisty. Dan Stevens—of Downton Abbey fame—narrates the main character, a doctor who is trying to bring some new techniques to wake up a “sleeping beauty” who may have committed a crime. He’s experimenting with all these things to wake up the woman who has had an emotionally overwhelming experience. They want to wake her up so that she can be prosecuted. You really have to pay attention to what is happening, because…I don’t want to say too much, but it’s so twisty and turny. When I finished it, I almost wanted to go back and start again and see if I could figure it out. Where were all the Easter eggs that gave me the clues? I was going, ‘What? Oh, wait! What?’ throughout. So, if you like a good psychological thriller that isn’t necessarily going to go where you thought it would, this is a great option. And it’s got all the different narrators playing the different parts. They’re not really interacting, but you’re getting their different perspectives in an excellent way.” Read more...
