Anna O by Matthew Blake
3.0

Mini Audiobook Review: Thank you so much to Bibiolifestyle for the gifted copy of the book! 
A thriller about a woman who commits murder while sleepwalking & then never wakes up? This was an interesting one!

This is told from multiple point of views. I mostly am interested in Ben (the forensic psychologist) and Emily (Anna’s mother) point of view as I felt they are the most important characters.

I also like that we got a sense of Anna’s personality and inside her brain with her journal entries. It all was very telling!

I was looking at other reviews and some have mentioned about feeling lost and I definitely can see how that happens. As I would feel like that especially with the different female narrators as they sound similar. I would reference the book to double check my understanding especially when it came to the twists. I did have to back up my listening to re-listen because I felt like I had missed something. 

I think some will really enjoy this but for me something just didn't mesh well. I am glad I read it though! Also I found it ironic that Dan Stevens was a narrator as my husband was watching a new tv show with him in it (but he had an American accent in it).
