Sleepwalker, by Christopher Bohjalian. Bohjalian never writes the same book twice, always keeping his readers guessing. Here, when Annalee Ahlberg goes missing, her children fear the worst.
Annalee is a sleepwalker whose affliction manifests in ways both bizarre
and devastating. Once, she merely destroyed the hydrangeas in front of
her Vermont home. More terrifying was the night her older daughter,
Lianna, pulled her back from the precipice of the Gale River bridge. The
morning of Annalee's disappearance, a search party combs the nearby
woods. Annalee's husband, Warren, flies home from a business trip.
Lianna is questioned by a young, hazel-eyed detective. And her little
sister, Paige, takes to swimming the Gale to look for clues. When the
police discover a small swatch of fabric, a nightshirt, ripped and
hanging from a tree branch, it seems certain Annalee is dead, but Gavin
Rikert, the hazel-eyed detective, continues to call, continues to stop
by the Ahlbergs' Victorian home. As Lianna peels back the layers of
mystery surrounding Annalee's disappearance, she finds herself drawn to
Gavin, but she must ask herself: Why does the detective know so much
about her mother? Also available in Large Print.
