Are You Awake?

Product Information

However, I am just not convinced that a woman up to her eyes in nappies, breast feeding, toddler tantrums and professional self-doubt would have the energy or the inclination to put a great deal of time and effort into sleuthing, given all that she is juggling!

One thing to know about these two, because it will be repeated incessantly for the first quarter of the book: They’re tired.

When the police are dismissive of their report, Mary and Tim decide to do some detecting of their own, but before long this gets them into trouble on multiple fronts. I enjoyed this book very fast paced and the characters were very believable to end up solving the case before the police.

The mother reluctantly awake with her baby in the depths of the night gave me vibes of Celia Fremlin's classic The Hours Before Dawn (and if you're a fan of domestic psychological thrillers and haven't read Fremlin, you really should).There, the two strangers witness what looks like a violent attack in the window of a neighbouring house. I felt that both Tim and Mary would not act in the way that the story took them so I found it difficult to come to terms with this fact. Whilst up at night she thinks she sees a missing girl in the window of a house that is being renovated, She meets Tim, traumatised by his experiences in war zones who helps her investigate. Mary has 2 young children who are never quiet and keep her up all night (and an unsupportive jerk of a husband to boot).

Here is a quick description and cover image of book Are You Awake written by Claire McGowan which was published in 2022-11-8. Mary and Tim later bond and try to piece together what they saw that night and begin to connect it to the missing girl. Mary is a mother of two very young children, one daughter aged two and the other a son is a new-born. The author did a really great job of setting the witching hour scene and anybody who finds themselves awake through the night will really empathise with the characters.are almost sure you DID see something that could shed some light into the disappearance of a young woman? What i like about this story is that even though Mary is married i had a feeling that the pair of them would end up in some sort of affair but no, how refreshing is that? Mixing this with having been prepped as a witness for a trial, I understand the controversy over eye-witness reliance.
