The Sleepwalker by Chris Bohjalian
Do you suffer from parasomnia?
I read The Sleepwalker in two days. For several reasons, the story captured my attention. First of all, I knew scant about the sleep disorder, parasomnia and thought it unique to have Annalee Ahlberg, the mother and Lianna and Paige, her daughters afflicted with it.
The details of Annalee's disappearance and whether it murder, suicide or the result of parasomnia; her nuanced marriage to Warren and whether him an unfaithful spouse; the sister's dynamics and cloud as to Paige's parentage; plus Gavin Rikert, the detective and questionable character who'd a previous relationship with Annalee and then, Lianna combined to create a page-turning tale.
Structured in two parts with a twist of a resolution and an epilogue leaving the reader with a pit in his/her stomach, Chris Bohjalian has penned a compelling tale.
