Summary: Great Read, Great Listen
Review: When photojournalist Jordan Glass is in an art gallery in Hong Kong, she causes quite a stir and, pushing through the crowd, she discovers the reason. The sleeping nude in the portrait could be her. The Chinese men who surround her, can't believe a model of someone who looks so dead on canvas can be actually living and in the hall with them. But Jordan knows that it's her twin sister, who disappeared in New Orleans a year ago.

She flies back to New York to try and find the artist and discovers that the painting is one of a series in which all the models appear to be dead and that the paintings are worth a half million bucks each.

The dealer who handles the paintings is the first person Jordan wants to see, however within a few minutes of meeting him, the dealer is dead and his gallery is in flames.

DEAD SLEEP guaranteed there'd be no sleep at my place as I read the book aloud to my writer boyfriend during a long and cozy night. It was his idea, as soon as he saw the novel was written in the first person, with a woman's voice. He thought it would be neat if I read, while he listened. All in all it was a very satisfying experience as we followed Jordan together while she chased after clues from New York to New Orleans. As my boyfriend would say, DEAD SLEEP was a great read, well in this case, for him, it was a great listen.

Summary: Replacing Runaway Jury as my favorite book
Review: While in Hong Kong photojournalist Jordan Glass stumbles into a museum to discover the paintings of an unkown artist titled "The Sleeping Women." Jordan also discovers that the subject in one of the paintings is her exact replica. Could this be her twin sister who was abducted several months ago??? Are these women really sleeping, or are they dead???
Excellent read! I could barely stand to put the book down for any reason. The plot is well written and has many twists and turns to keep you guessing until the last page. All of the characters in the book are very well developed to the point you feel you know them as real people. If you enjoy well written suspense then this is a book for you!
