'Are You Sleeping' follows the story of Josie Buhrman and her attempts to escape her family's tainted reputation; her father was murdered, her mother ran away and joined a cult, and her twin sister has questionable loyalties. Over a decade on, an investigative journalist decides to start her own podcast looking into Mr Buhrman's murder, for which someone has already been charged and imprisoned. Are You Sleeping tells the story of Josie's life and how she finds out what really helped, whilst the chapters are cleverly interspersed with transcripts of the podcasts. If you are a fan of the 'Serial' podcasts on a similar subject matter, then I think you'll love this book. 
 I read this book in less than 24 hours because the style of writing had me absolutely gripped; being able to read the transcripts as well as type-outs of internet forum messages and tweets gave a good rounded perspective of the crime and allows you to really play detective yourself and work out what happened. Throughout the book I had an inkling of who was guilty, but this did change a few times and I was pleased that the ending actually took me by surprise. 
 On the whole, this is a really well-written book using a novel and interesting concept. I'll certainly be looking out for more from Kathleen Barber - what a great debut this was!
