No Sleep Till Wonderland

By Paul Tremblay

Book Overview

Narcoleptic Southie PI Mark Genevich returns in this sequel to The Little Sleep from the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Survivor Song and The Cabin at the End of the World.

Like most private eyes, Mark Genevich is something of a lone wolf. So group therapy isn't a great fit. But his landlord/mother is convinced it will help his narcolepsy--ignoring the fact that his disorder is a physical condition. Truth is, he has the time. It's been a year and a half since his last big case, or any case.

It's never a wise choice to go on a two-day bender with someone you meet in group therapy, but there's something about Gus that intrigues Genevich. And when his new drinking buddy asks him to protect a female friend who's being stalked, the PI finally has a case.

Unfortunately, he's about to sleepwalk right into a very real nightmare. Before long he's a suspect in an arson investigation and running afoul of everyone from the cops to a litigious lawyer and a bouncer with anger management issues. Genevich must keep his wits about him--always a challenge for a detective prone to unexpected blackouts and hallucinations--to solve the crime and live to show up at his next therapy session.

In Paul Tremblay's follow-up to The Little Sleep, unreliable narrator Mark Genevich once again leads readers on a surreal and suspenseful wild ride through the mean streets of South Boston and his own dreamlike reality.

Wonderful follow-up

The bar was set high by Tremblay's first release, The Little Sleep. However, in this follow-up to The Little Sleep, Tremblay delivers a powerful story featuring the unique narcoleptic detective, Mark Genevich. While Tremblay's wit is displayed throughout this novel, the mood and atmosphere is much darker than The Little Sleep. The reader is plunged into Genevich's world, often wondering what is reality and what is dreaming. Genevich becomes involved in a police investigation of an arson and death, becoming a suspect himself. As Genevich delves deeper into the mystery, the line between dream and reality becomes more blurred. His search for answers leads Genevich down a very dangerous path. Does he have the ability to discover the truth? Can he handle that truth? You won't be disappointed by this book. Tremblay is truly at the top of his game, and you would be missing a gem of a story if you miss out on this one.
