Description

Una novela de suspense psicológico con un gran gancho narrativo, ¿Estás dormida? cautivará a los fans de Making a Murderer y atraerá a los lectores que buscan protagonistas femeninas fuertes.

Las voces narradoras son las de la protagonista y la de la periodista que, sin que nadie se lo haya pedido, lleva nueva luz al brutal homicidio de su padre. El debut de Kathleen es una historia sobre pérdidas, sobre lazos y secretos familiares y sobre la influencia de los medios.

Josie lleva los últimos 10 años intentando escapar de la reputación de su familia, y con razón: su padre fue asesinado, su madre se escapó para unirse a una secta, y su hermana gemela le robó a su novio del instituto. Josie por fin ha logrado echar raíces en Nueva York, estableciendo una vida doméstica con su pareja, Caleb. El único problema es que ha mentido a Caleb sobre todos y cada uno de los detalles de su pasado.

Cuando un podcast empieza a investigar el caso del asesinato de su padre, que lleva tantos años cerrado, a Josie le angustia que su mundo pueda empezar a desmoronarse. Después de que la muerte de la madre de Josie la obligue a regresar a su casa en el Midwest, tendrá que enfrentarse a las relaciones sin resolver de su pasado, y a las mentiras sobre las que ha edificado su futuro. La periodista que produce el podcast es cada vez más obstinada, y la hermana de Josie alcanza un punto de crisis emocional al revelarse por fin la verdad sobre el asesinato de su padre.

“[An] inventive debut… The intense plot and character studies are enhanced by the emotional look at the dynamics of a family forever scarred by violence.” - Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Barber is a delightful writer who has produced a taut thriller that will leave you wondering the identity of the killer. My prediction: the book is destined for the New York Times best seller list.” - Chicago Tribune

“I was completely hooked from the very first page. Layers of deceit, family drama, a murdered father, a disturbed mother, mayhem, cults, lies, betrayals, and a possibly deranged podcaster—this story has it all... If you like twisty psychological thrillers, this is your book.” - J.T. Ellison, bestselling co-author of The Devil's Triangle

“Kathleen Barber perfectly captures the media frenzy around a notorious murder and the inclusion of a podcast adds an extra layer of timely eeriness. The public perception is contrasted flawlessly against the element of private pain, such that the ‘public’ itself becomes a fully developed character.” - Kate Moretti, author of The Vanishing Year

Are You Sleeping? will more than likely keep you up all night as this most compelling suspenseful novel unfolds. A classic whodunnit gets a very clever modern treatment that left this reader’s heart racing right up to the last page.” - Liz Nugent, author of Unraveling Oliver

“Reminiscent of the hit podcast Serial, this debut is an exciting read about what happens when the past continues to haunt the present.” - Dallas News

“An excellent examination of what it must be like to be caught up in a media frenzy…absorbing reading for those who can’t get enough of flawed-but-likable narrators.” - Booklist
