“A riveting, unsettling crime novel that will keep you turning pages well past your bedtime. Is Anna O a sleeping beauty or a sleeping killer? Matthew Blake's tension-filled thriller is as elusive and mysterious as sleep itself.”—Nita Prose, #1 New York Times author of The Maid and The Mystery Guest

Joining the ranks of Gillian Flynn, A. J. Finn, and Alex Michaelides, Matthew Blake delivers the thriller of the year: a dark, twisty, and shocking mystery about a young woman who commits a double murder while sleepwalking, and then never opens her eyes again.

ANNA O WILL WAKE UP THE WORLD

What if your nightmares weren’t really nightmares at all?

We spend an average of 33 years of our lives asleep. But what really happens, and what are we capable of, when we sleep?

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.

As Anna shows the first signs of stirring, Benedict must determine what really happened and whether Anna should be held responsible for her crimes.

Only Anna knows the truth about that night, but only Benedict knows how to discover it. And they’re both in danger from what they find out.

It was an ok book

This book couldve been cut down to half of what it was and been a much better read. It was a decent book.

Spiderwebs of lies

A little hard to follow at times but in the end fantastic! You never see it coming!

too wordy

got bored. good story line. was not surprised by ending, had it figured out. too many long wordy descriptions that were unneeded. would have liked to just hear the story.

A twist you don’t see coming

I had heard a lot about this book. That it was a page turning thriller with a twist you won’t see coming. While the twist is true, I found the story moved a bit slowly. A good read but not the page-turner I would’ve liked.

I Need A Nap

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Anna O has been in a 4-year coma ever since she was involved in the murder of her two friends. She’s being treated by the esteemed sleep doctor, Dr. Benjamin Prince who is charged with trying to wake her up. This story has many twists and turns, but I agree with others that I had figured out the guilty party midway through the book. It didn’t make it wrong; I was simply a bit disappointed. Additionally, it was too long and very wordy. The author could have trimmed 100 words and still had a strong story. Finally, I cringed every time I had to read the name KitKat, which was the name of Dr. Prince’s daughter. It was just a personal bias. Ultimately, it was an exciting story and outstanding on audible. #AnnaO #sociopath #sleepdisorders #murder #revenge #serialmurder #psychiatrist #fiction #mystery #whodunit #thriller #beautifulBookCover #crime

What A Ride!

This book takes you on a journey of psychological trauma from the perspective of one and those who surround that one. If you think you know, you don’t! This book is fast paced and a slow burn all in one go. As it unravels you find out it’s so much more than one trauma.

It is salacious at its core…like a memoir from a murderer and the tabloids that review the story all in one. I will be thinking about this book for quite some time.

This one was worth the time and the credit! I recommend!

Twists and Turns. Worth a second listen!!

Excellent. When you think you have it figured out- you don’t. Give it a listen. You will not be disappointed.

Very good but too long

It was good book and had a interesting story but dragged some and too long

I enjoyed the change in narrators based on whose portion of the story was being told.

This was a slow build for me. I was bored until part two. Then it kind of fell flat for me. I definitely didn’t guess the twists, but how it turned out seemed a bit far fetched to me.

The ending was amazing

Wow…. That is all I have to say about the ending of this book! Must read!!
