Thriller that pulls you in

Grafton, a travel reporter on a local radio, catches a few moments  of a chat show.  The caller is from a cult who believe that society are being conned into believing they need more sleep than they do.  This stirs memories and emotions for Grafton, as well as the idea that he could be onto an exciting story, which would further his career, and might help him reconnect with his wife who left long before. 

Leaving his 17 year old son, Isaac,  at home, he sets off to infiltrate the cult and get himself a story.  Alternating chapters between Isaac at home and Grafton joining the cult, excitement and interest mounts.  I really wanted to know what was going to happen next, and found it interesting to read about the people in the cult and how they reacted to various events.   

The prologue was a bit violent for me – however this is a fast moving story full of intrigue, excitement and therefore worth the unpleasant bit at the front – but it did set the scene well.   The writing was great, kept me reading a bit more than I had time for, and I was always keen to return to the story. 

So good I nearly missed getting off a long distance train at my stop!  I was reading this at a time of great grief and sadness, and this book really gave me an escape at the end of each day.  Therefore 5*s and a big thank you to the author (and Fly on the Wall Press) for a thriller that really took me away from the world around me.
