Summary

New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz returns with the first novel of the Lost Night Files, an exciting new romantic suspense trilogy about a night that changed three women forever—but that none of them can remember.

Seven months ago, Pallas Llewellyn, Talia March, and Amelia Rivers were strangers, until their fateful stay at the Lucent Springs Hotel. An earthquake and a fire partially destroyed the hotel, but the women have no memory of their time there. Now close friends, the three women co-host a podcast called the Lost Night Files, where they investigate cold cases and hope to connect with others who may have had a similar experience to theirs—an experience that has somehow enhanced the psychic abilities already present in each woman.

After receiving a tip for their podcast, Pallas travels to the small college town of Carnelian, California, to explore an abandoned asylum. Shaken by the dark energy she feels in the building, she is rushing out when she’s stopped by a dark figure—who turns out to be the women's mysterious tipster.

Ambrose Drake is certain he’s a witness to a murder, but without a body, everyone thinks he’s having delusions caused by extreme sleep deprivation. But Ambrose is positive something terrible happened at the Carnelian Sleep Institute the night he was there. Unable to find proof on his own, he approaches Pallas for help, only for her to realize that Ambrose, too, has a lost night that he can’t remember—one that may be connected to Pallas. Pallas and Ambrose conduct their investigation using the podcast as a cover, and while the townsfolk are eager to share what they know, it turns out there are others who are not so happy about their questions—and someone is willing to kill to keep the truth from coming out.

Disappointing.

I’m a really big JAK fan and look forward to her books coming out but really struggled with this one and am half dreading the rest of the Trilogy. I think a big part of the problem is the narrator. Her phrasing, and emphases, and cadences were just off for me; it really spoiled it. I’m listening to it again to see if the book is actually ok, and the narration is the problem but I’m not enjoying it at all. With audiobooks the narrator is everything. I was amazed to see others commending the narration so it may just be me, although others do agree with me, but a warning for others to listen before buying.

Slow to get going

I nearly ditched it half way through but it warmed up! Ending could have been better !

Mystery

Well plotted, really good story line. Characters very believable. I enjoyed this story so much that I couldn’t stop, with the result I was listening in bed until the “wee small” hours.

A real shame about the narrator!

I advise against the audible version of Sleep No More. The narrator is appalling. Even Alexa would do better. She leaves a gap between phrases which I presume is her way of showing emotion or suspense as she reads in a flat monotone. She has effectively ruined this book for many of us who rely on audiobooks because of sight issues. Please find another narrator for the other books.😢 The story is great. Interesting. Relatable characters as usual. If it is the same narrator for the next book I’ll get it on kindle and let Alexa read it!!!

Excellent start to the series

I enjoy reading JAK’s books no matter what name she writes under. This book lays the groundwork for the next books in this trilogy. I loved the interaction between Ambrose and Pallas. I found the story interesting and I’m looking forward to reading the next two books in the series. Eva Kaminsky is a phenomenal narrator and brings every book she narrates come to life. If she reads it I’ll listen.

Best book yet

I'm generally a fan I have lots of her books but I think this is the best yet. Very atmospheric and a narrator that makes the most of that

Ms Krentz is on really good form for this book.
I really enjoyed this book and to be honest I wasn't sure I would as this author has been less than sparkling recently. This is the first in a new series and although it revisits themes from earlier books it felt a bit fresher this time. There is a psychic element, a man with a sleep disorder/psychic talent, and many other of the usual tropes but it is also fast paced, engaging and easy to listen to. I liked the Lost Night podcast idea and felt the developing relationship was well written.
The narrator was pretty good although I still struggle not to laugh when I hear buoyed pronounced as boo-eed rather than boy-d, but it seems common with American Narrators even it is odd to my ears, and I felt she did a good job with most of the characterisation.
A good start to the year.
