IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT, MADNESS LIES . . .

Emma can’t sleep.

CHECK THE WINDOWS.

It’s been like this since her big 4-0 started getting closer.

LOCK THE DOORS.

Her mother stopped sleeping just before her own fortieth birthday.

She went mad and did the unthinkable because of it.

LOOK IN ON THE CHILDREN.

Is that what’s happening to Emma?

WHY CAN’T SHE SLEEP?

""Insomnia is the twistiest and most gripping thriller since Paula Hawkins’ The Girl on the Train, an absolute must-read for suspense fans."" — Joe Hill

Overall I really enjoyed this book although it started off kinda low, it had me guessing until the end. I liked the supernatural element and the twist and turns.

Good Read

I enjoyed the entire book! I was invested, I wanted to know ‘for sure’ who had done what. I found it hard to press pause and go to bed! Haha!

Very well done!

I enjoyed this novel & the narration. If the point of a mystery/suspense story is to keep you wondering, keep you suspicious of everyone, keep you guessing, & keep you reading, this book checks those boxes.

Keeps you listening/reading

The narrator did a great job, and the story was interesting for the most part.
some parts felt repetitive but there was many different potential outcomes for the story.
In the end, the twist wasn't as wild or mind blowing as I expected, but it was good and well thought out.
Over all I did enjoy listening to it.

over all a good listen

I loved this book. Hit close to home because I had a bout of insomnia, and it was very stressful and I did go a bit crazy too. So I did find it quite creepy and very believable in that regard.
And the twists were interesting with all of the second-guessing by both Emma, and therefore the reader. That part was fun. I found the book to be clever. Narration was outstanding. Many different characters without any of them being outlandish or annoying. Well done all around!

Interesting, fun, & chilling all combined!
