This review is from: The Sleep of the Dead (Hardcover)

Tom Bradby is a writer. Not just mystery or thriller or crime fiction, but a writer. His thick, multilayered books are a pure joy for a lover of literature. His novels are stand alone, separate, well-thought stories that grapple with the deeper meaning of the exausting game called life. His "heroes", if you even want to call them like that, are brave and insecure, principled and coniving. In short they are real human beings, a mix of all the good and the bad they can possibly be." The Sleep of the Dead" is a lecture on trauma and pain. We can run, but we cant hide, especially from ourselves and our demons.

Whilst not sit on the edge of your seat stuff this novel will certainly keep you engrossed. The novel provides for great visualisation whilst keeping you guessing to the end. A well thought out who dunnit incorporating psychological drama.

You will find this a great novel for a cosy curl up read.
