The Sleeper
The Sleeper: A Novel | Gillian White
8 posts | 1 read | 7 to read
The sins of the past haunt an isolated farmhouse as a snowstorm rages outside . . . Its not shaping up to be a very merry Christmas. Clover Moon feels trapped in her life as a farmers wife. She certainly doesnt enjoy hosting Ferguss mother, Violet, who always finds new ways to publicly humiliate her unsatisfactory daughter-in-law. But would Violet ever seek a more violent way of expressing her disapproval? Violet is a medium, and the voices of the dead sometimes encourage her to do disturbing things. During her stay at the farmhouse, she claims to sense an intrusive presence. Fergus then discovers the dead body of a woman floating in their flooded cellar, and elderly Miss Bates, resident of a nearby senior home and a client of Violets, is missing . . . With her acute sense of human nature and gift for suspense, reminiscent of Barbara Vine, Gillian White will leave you guessing until the very end.

Overall an enjoyable read, not as tense or spine-tingling as I had hoped but enough mystery and atmosphere to keep me enthralled.

A family Christmas with a twist: snowed in on a secluded farm, a body in the cellar, a missing old lady and various murder attempts. This is right up my alley.

Gissy Sounds so good!👍 7y

I love this quote. She had cleaned the house from top to bottom, decorated the house, beautifully wrapped all the gifts but feels like a failure for forgetting one thing.

Marchpane It's better without icing anyway. 7y
Lindy I agree with @Marchpane 7y
