[close] The Sleepwalker, by Chris Bojahlian, 2017
Annalee Ahlberg suffers from parasomnia, a disorder characterized by a variety of abnormal behaviors during sleep such as sleepwalking, night terrors, REM sleep behavior disorder, sleep aggression, and sleep –related eating disorder, just to name a few. One morning Annalee’s daughters, Paige and Lianna, awaken to find their mother missing. It’s been three years since Annalee’s last episode of sleepwalking when Lianna saved her mother from leaping off a bridge in the middle of the night. Bojahlian has written a fascinating study of a family under terrible stress trying to discover if Annalee has fled, perished accidently, or been murdered. Many clues are offered along with the requisite red herrings to keep readers on their toes. I read this mesmerizing novel in one sitting; truly unputdownable. I highly recommend it for fans of literary mysteries.
