Kelly (and the Book Boar)'s Reviews > Sleep Tight

I picked this one up for the cover/title thinking it was going to be a spoooooooky one for the Halloweeny season. Then I realized it was maybe a serial killer (or copycat serial killer) story and that was A-okay with me too. But then?????

I don’t love a police procedural to begin with and I don’t tend to love missing children stories much either. Combine the two and have the parents both working for the police department whose kid is missing – and yet they are somehow SUPER involved in the investigation and I’m already suspending my disbelief too much. Then add in she’s a drunken pill popper, he’s had an affair, there was a superbadawful that caused amnesia, potential copycat killer, original killer was investigated by cop’s dad back in the day, multiple personalities, maybe there’s a cult, 800 characters to keep track of and perhaps this psychic can help piece things together????? Oh my word . . . .





Also? Why the eff was this called Sleep Tight???? THAT isn’t explained until 80%, but “Outcast” is mentioned forty trillion times . . . .
