Nora Glasser started driving me crazy about halfway through the book. She's strong and determined one minute, then doubtful and unsure the next. This book is about a double murder in the small resort town of Pequot Point. Nora moved there to heal after being cheated on by her ex-husband, Hugh Walker, and was doing fine until Hugh and his new wife, Helen, decided to invade her space by moving into her town. Now she's the chief suspect in their murder. Of course, Nora's innocent. Never mind that she has a rare sleeping disorder that causes her to sleepwalk, and she can't remember what she did or where she went during these blackouts. In her weak moments, Nora becomes obsessed with her own guilt, but in her decisive moments, she investigates the other quirky characters—all with motives for the murders—to prove her innocence. Even though Nora's flip-flopping was somewhat irritating, the plot was suspenseful to the very end of this original whodunit.… (plus d'informations)

I enjoyed this book, which starts out as plucky-divorcee-makes-a-new-life and quickly turns into a mystery when her ex and his new wife are found murdered in their beds. The twist is that childhood trauma has left the protagonist with occasional sleepwalking episodes so she is concerned that she may be the culprit. Small-town newspapering and the New York art world also feature in this well-written book. Recommended.

I read this in a day. It was interesting enough for me to want to keep going. I hadn't figured out the major points of the plot until the book was done! However, I found the main character really annoying. Why was she doing and acting the way she was!? Why didn't she just talk to people like a normal person!? But no, all those feelings and weird problems were kept to herself for way too long to be healthy. I dunno, it was still a good read.
