Críticas:

"Masterful... The Sleepwalker is Bohjalian at his best: a creepily compelling topic and an illusionist's skill at tightening the tension. This is a novel worth losing sleep over." --Patty Rhule, USA Today

"The kind of mystery that builds to a startling climax, the kind that makes the reader wonder how such a trick was pulled off...Bohjalian does a masterful job."
--Clea Simon, the Boston Globe

"Sex, secrets and the mysteries of sleep: These are the provocative ingredients in Chris Bohjalian's spooky thriller The Sleepwalker. It's a dark, Hitchcockian novel... Trust me, you will not be able to stop thinking about it days after you finish reading this book." --Carol Memmott, The Washington Post

"Literary and compelling, a combination so rare I'm tempted to apply for federal intervention. . . I hesitate to say more, because to know too much may spoil the fun of discovery. Rest assured the denouement is perfect. This is Bohjalian at his very best." --Curt Shleier, The Seattle Times

"A perfectly crafted surprise ending... Bohjalian succeeds in making us accomplices in a dark world we never knew existed." --Laura Patten, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Reseña del editor:

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Flight Attendant comes a spine-tingling novel of lies, loss and buried desire--the mesmerizing story of a wife and mother who vanishes from her bed late one night.

Gorgeous, blond, successful, living in a beautiful Victorian home in a Vermont village, Annalee Ahlberg has another side: at night she sleepwalks, and her affliction manifests in ways both devastating and bizarre. A search party combs the woods, but there is little trace of Annalee and her family fears the worst. Her daughter Lianna leaves college to care for her father and younger sister. She finds herself uncontrollably drawn to Gavin Rikert, the hazel-eyed detective investigating the case, and the two become involved. But Gavin seems to know more about Lianna's mother than he should. As Lianna sifts through the life Annalee has left behind, she wonders if the man sleeping next to her could hold the key to her mother's mysterious disappearance.
