While You Were Sleeping by Kathryn Croft
While You Were Sleeping by Kathryn Croft
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Tara Logan wakes up one morning in a strange bed with no memory of the night before. When she finds that she is in her neighbor’s bed and he is covered in blood and has been murdered she panics and heads for home. Tara knows no matter what she remembers she would never have killed anyone so in order to protect her family she keeps her secret.
When the police come knocking on their door though Tara and her family find themselves right in the middle of the investigation. Not only does Tara have her secrets but so do her husband and her teenage daughter so the family finds themselves all suspects as the investigation takes place.
My third time reading a Kathryn Croft novel and the third time I find myself glued to the book until the very end. At the start of this story I thought perhaps I knew what would happen but believe me I kept changing my mind with every page turn so congrats again to keeping me guessing Ms. Croft.
My one complaint with this book though came with a relationship that formed in the middle of the book. Without giving away any spoilers I’ll just say I found it odd and somewhat out of place but it wasn’t really pursued too terribly much so I didn’t take off too much for this one. Thankfully I was too busy following the suspects and enjoying the suspense portion of the read.
Overall, 4.5 stars, another great page turning thriller from this author. I definitely count myself as a fan and will look forward to reading more.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Great review Carrie! I’ve requested this from NetGalley, but it’s been pending for the last couple of weeks, so I don’t think I’ll be getting approved. Oh well. There’s always the library.

Don’t give up hope quite yet. I did have one stay pending from Bookouture for a few weeks but finally ended up approved for it. I had been thinking maybe I’d been too late so it was a nice surprise to get approval. 🙂

No archive date on this one yet and still a couple weeks to publication so definitely a good shot at still getting it. 🙂
