Clarion Reviews The Sleeper

[Solease M. Barner]

In Solease M. Barner’s intriguing debut novel…Barner breathes new life into the common trope of a protagonist leading a double life by having Holiday narrate the novel in a matter-of-fact tone. Readers cannot distance themselves from Holiday’s affectionate family moments or from her emotionless murders because she recounts her own actions, making the sex scenes steamier and the killings more shuddersome.
