Customer Reviews

Light but entertaining

I rather like Lynda LaPlante's stories and writing, particularly her Trial and Retribution police procedurals. Sleeping Cruelty is very different and not for those easily shocked. It's not a nice protrayal of the rich and how easily they can be manipulated by the amoral. A real page-turner.

Different

I found this book different to anything I had ever read before. Sure it is a little far fetched, but written believably so. All I can really say is that once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down.
