Everything changes when Tara wakes up naked in her neighbor's bed- and he is dead. She flees back across the street, but she knows in her core she didn't do it. Then people are looking at her teenaged daughter, and she admits, she suspects it is possible. Did Rosie kill him? Someone else? She knows his death is going to destroy her family.

This had plenty of twists and turns, tons of suspects. Almost too many- everything you knew changed constantly. Overall, it was okay. There were a bit too many stupid plotlines that didn't truly add to the story that kept me from loving it.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

While You Were Sleeping by Kathryn Croft is an entertaining, domestic thriller. Even though I felt some parts didn't add up this aspect didn't take away from my enjoyment.

I would like to thank Bookouture & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review

A great thriller of a book well written plot and completely engages you and keeps you gripped

Thank you Netgalley for a copy for an honest review

A gripping psychological thriller that I couldn’t put down. This book reeled me in from the start. I recommend this book to all psychological thriller fans.

A captivating read and kept me guessing, although some parts did lag a little. There were a handful of times when I had to put the novel down because the pacing was starting to slow (I prefer my crime novels to keep a continuous, fast pace).

Omg......... this book was amazing I flew threw the pages with Olympic speed I was hooked from the very first page. I found it full of twists and turns threw out and it kept me on the edge of my seat all the way threw  I would defiantly recommend this book if you like a good book to keep you reading threw the night hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did

Loved this twisty book and am enjoying the Apple tv adaptation
lots of twists and turns
the book talks about sleep....be ready to lose some!

Unfortunately, I read this book back in 2017 but completely forgot to upload a review on here, so can't remember exactly what I was going to say about it!

Sorry for late review - just catching up after a busy 12 months. Loved this book a lot - the author never fails to deliver a great story with great characters and really well written. No wonder it's recommended so much by so many different people. Will definitely read more by this author.

At the start of this novel, main character Tara wakes up in her neighbor’s bed - with no memory of how she has gotten there, and with him dead beside her. Believe it or not, things get crazier from there with one insane twist and turn after another. Pretty much nothing about this book was remotely believable, yet somehow it was still entertaining to read in all of its preposterousness.

Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will. Enjoy

Thia fast-paced plot had me speeding through the book, desperate to know what was happening, which is my favorite kind of book. Kathryn Croft did so well in delivering a thrilling story that was un-put-downable.
The characters had many layers to them (and secrets) which just added to the thrill.
I absolutely loved the beautiful writing, which gripped me from the very first page. Loved this!

While You Were Sleeping is a psychological thriller which focuses on Tara Logan and her family and the effect that keeping secrets can have on your family, friends and those you are closest to. Tara wakes up next to her dead neighbour, in his bed. What happened to Lee? And why is Tara there?

I read this book in two sittings. I couldn’t put it down because the narrative is almost compulsive in its delivery. The characterisation is interesting too. To be honest, the only character I liked, was 11 year old Spencer. Intuitive but searingly innocent, he is the least tainted character in a book full of terrible people.

Secrets have the ability to destroy lives, and While You Were Sleeping is a good example of what can happen to those who hide things. It seems as though everyone is hiding something, which creates seriously unreliable narrators and makes the reader question everyone and their motives.

I found While You Were Sleeping to be a fast-paced read. Full of characters that are divisive and morally wrong, it’s definitely going to be interesting to see how other readers will get on! For me personally, it was not as gripping as her previous books but still a good read all the same. Pure escapism, with a hint of implausibility, but I was hooked nonetheless!

I enjoyed a few other Kathryn Croft's books and this one was no exception - fast paced, twisty, with interesting characters. It wa a little unrealistic in places, but this time s fiction after all.

A very interesting tale that held my attention all the way through. Great plot, twists and turns & the writing kept me hopping! Thanks for the opportunity with this ARC!

Decent read. Nothing groundbreaking but still captivating. I missed reviewing this last year somehow. Sorry about that!

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read this book in return for my honest opinion.

I enjoyed this book. It had a good storyline and the characters were interesting. I think some of the decisions and actions of the characters seem a little dubious, but it kept me reading and definitely entertained me. Many plot twists and turns and a large suspect list left me wondering who and I needed to know. Not the best book in this genre, but a good read and worth your time.

I will most likely be checking out other books by this author.

Tara Logan wakes up in a strange place and cannot remember how she got there, next thing she notices there's a man lying down next to her, she calls out Noah - her husband's name, but there's no response, it all comes back to her and she remembers she is lying next to her neighbour Lee, with whom she was having a drink a while ago, but how did it all happen?
Tara lives a quiet life with her husband, Noah, and two children, teenager Rosie and eleven-year-old Spencer and her life comes crashing down when her neighbor Lee's dead body is found!
Lee was having an affair, his wife Serana says, Tara is convinced that Lee didnt killed by her - what exactly happened?
Tara and Noah's daughter Rosie has had issues in the past, she is known for making up stories, and out of the blue she becomes the primary suspect - but what exactly is the fact in whatever Rosie says to the police? Tara's sister Lisa volunteers to talk to Rosie and gets more details but the plot gets deep as police find clues leading to solving Lee's death case.



Convinced she didn’t kill Lee, Tara stays silent, fearing the truth will rip her family apart.

But as her daughter spirals out of control, and her husband becomes increasingly distant, Tara soon realises that someone in her life knows what really happened to Lee. She must get to the truth before they do.

This was a very well written story, thanks to NetGalley for sharing an advanced reader's copy!

This is the first book I have read by Kathryn Croft but it certainly won't be my last. I am really liking books at the moment that have an unreliable narrator and this book is as unreliable as you can get. Along with characters that aren't very likeable, then this book will keep you guessing throughout!!

Great book! Had me not wanting to put it down. Could not wait to see how it was going to end.
