Review
The Sleeper makes for breathless, compulsive reading, with characters so real you almost feel like you know them well enough to ring them up and ask them what on earth is going on. Emily achieves what other writers cannot - her books are just getting better and better. ( Elizabeth Haynes)

A tense and gritty read with echoes of Daphne du Maurier's Don't Look Now ( Telegraph)
A great read from start to finish...believable characters that are variously biting, insightful and sympathetic ( The Times)
Sleep-sabotagingly moreish ( Cosmopolitan)
A gripping piece of fiction spiked with an unnerving amount of psychological tension ( Kirkus)
One brilliantly compelling page-turner ( Closer)
