The Sleeping and the Dead: A Stunning Psychological Thriller From the Author of the Vera Stanhope Crime Series

Product Information

Detective Peter Porteous is called to Cranwell Lake where the body of a teenager has been discovered. After trawling through the missing persons files, he deduces that the corpse is Michael Grey, an enigmatic and secretive young man who was reported missing by his foster parents in 1972. I don't know if Porteous figured in any more stories, I certainly haven't noticed any. Maybe he left the force and became an auditor or something. Now that I think about it, there were also a few things left unexplained. Needless to say I do not recommend this book. There are far more interesting detective novels out there.

Answer: she's written a lot of books, and our local libraries have a lot of them on the shelves. Not to mention the fact that I have liked most of the ones I have read.

The Sleeping and the Dead is a tense psychological crime thriller from CWA Gold Dagger award-winning writer, Ann Cleeves. For the National Year of Reading, Ann was made reader-in-residence for three library authorities. It came as a revelation that it was possible to get paid for talking to readers about books! She went on to set up reading groups in prisons as part of the Inside Books project, became Cheltenham Literature Festival's first reader-in-residence and still enjoys working with libraries. Strong elements were the empathy for , and understanding of troubled youth, the recognition that many of us struggle to contain and overcome our prejudices, stereotypes and assumptions, the establishment of trust as a precarious commodity, and the understanding that secrets and evil can be hidden in plain sight. On a second thought, I might have disliked Porteous too if I would have read more of his thoughts. After all I didn't really like anyone.
