I received the final proofs for the new cover of Sleep, my psychological thriller, and I'm really excited to share it. It's far more genre defined and I hope it will give the book a new lease of life, and it will find more readers.
Sleep was my debut novel back in 2019. It's still the favourite of all the books I've written so far. It's a book that took me 27 years to publish from it's initial conception in 1991 - the prologue is actually the short piece I wrote back then (though heavily edited since). I'm really proud of this book, not least because one of the reviews it received was from someone who used to be a court stenographer, and they told me it was the most accurate depiction of a UK court room they'd ever read in a crime novel - and they're a book blogger.
A whydunnit rather than a whodunnit, Sleep follows a woman on trial for killing her husband and his lover. Was it premeditated, a crime of passion, or a moment of madness? Told through a series of flashbacks and testimony, what drove Lizzy Dyson to murder are revealed.
