Don’t close your eyes…
When Jake Meredith is arrested for the murder of his wife, he’s adamant he isn’t guilty, even though her blood is all over his hands and his prints are on the murder weapon. He has no memory of attacking her.
His solicitor brother claims Jake is a sleepwalker, and he is sent to a revolutionary new sleep clinic for assessment.
Jake is convinced he didn’t kill his wife, and is intent on finding answers. But locked away in a clinic, he’s impeded at every turn. Is his incarceration accidental, or part of a larger web of lies? And worse
still, is he losing his mind or the unwitting victim of something far more sinister?
All he knows is there’s something going on in the room with the red door…

My thoughts: Jake is admitted to a sleep clinic on Lundy Island off the coast of Devon, he’s been accused of killing his wife, something he can’t remember, and according to his brother he might have been sleepwalking.
As the assessment begins he starts to lose time, his memory seems to be getting worse and the other patients unnerve him. Worse still he’s dreaming about his experiences in the army, terrible nightmares that might be PTSD.
It all gets a bit Shutter Island, things are much stranger than Jake first thinks, and his fractured reality is more complicated than he remembers.
Full of twists and turns, this is a compelling and clever thriller.
