About this listen

Seven guests. Seven secrets. One killer. Do you dare to sleep?

All Anna wants is to be able to sleep. But crushing insomnia, terrifying night terrors and memories of that terrible night are making it impossible. If only she didn’t feel so guilty....

To escape her past, Anna takes a job at a hotel on the remote Scottish island of Rum, but when seven guests join her, what started as a retreat from the world turns into a deadly nightmare.

Each of the guests has a secret, but one of them is lying—about who they are and why they're on the island. There's a murderer staying in the Bay View hotel. And they've set their sights on Anna.

Seven strangers. Seven secrets. One deadly lie.

Someone’s going to sleep and never wake up....

Critic reviews

"Beware! Sleep does not do what it says on the tin: I was awake until the small hours under its dark and twisty spell." (Fiona Barton)

"Sleep kept me awake until the early hours...extremely creepy, atmospheric and twisty. I never guessed that ending!" (Claire Douglas)

"Another cracking psychological thriller from CL Taylor. Sleep will keep you up all night." (Mark Edwards)

All good except for 2 things, i.e., the last sentence alluded that Anna would become another Christine, will she or won't she....probably! I did not like the ending. Narration mostly good but as I use ear pods, listening is difficult in places, loud and harsh. I prefer a straight narration rather than a performance. So much of the story is missed when having to keep adjusting the sound levels - Am I the only one who find this a problem?

A good read

very good

Alright. Story obvious, hints were given too early. Threw me off the trail a couple of times but not for long enough. I'd prefer if the very end of the story with the younger girl didn't happen, poor and trope-y.
Wouldn't recommend, wouldn't reread.

Mediocre

I loved this book. I guess who the villain was relatively early but the book keeps you guessing with teasers all the way through so I was never certain until it was revealed. Lots of action and interesting characters. Interesting setting too. Really like the author and the narrator.

Twisted and turned with great pace

Worth a listen kept me hooked, not the best ending but still good.
I enjoy it and also the short story at the end was a nice surprise

Got me hooked from the very first chapter!!
