Reviews for The Sleeper Lies

“A snowy winter, a deserted cottage, mysterious footprints – Andrea Mara’s new book has all the elements of a gripping thriller and does not disappoint. This is a hugely enjoyable novel with an engaging  heroine and some great twists. Recommended!” Sinéad Crowley, author of One Bad Turn

“A great cast of characters, a dark family secret, and a good many twists make this a deliciously suspenseful and thoroughly enjoyable read.”  Michelle Sacks, author of You Were Made for This

“The Sleeper Lies is richly drawn and utterly addictive. Part-family drama, part-thoroughly contemporary thriller, shocks of terror abound in these pages of snowy isolation and creeping dread. Mara is a master, I loved it.” Sophie White, author of Filter This

“Creepy, twisty and unsettling, with relatable characters and a truly gripping plot.” Roz Watkins, author of Dead Man’s Daughter

“Secrets and lies settle like snow in this cool, calculated suspense. A mood of unease swirls around an isolated cottage in the wood, where a knotty plot keeps the answers eerily out of sight. Fans of domestic noir, small-town mysteries, Irish crime – or just thrilling tales told with heart and soul – have found their new obsession! A perfect read for a long winter night.” — Jo Furniss, author of The Trailing Spouse
