Her USA Today bestseller, Play Dead, was called "an exceptional thriller."* Now, Anne Frasier delivers a new blockbuster about a one-time criminal profiler who will risk everything-even her own sanity-to lure out of hiding the madman who murdered her family. Even if it means she becomes the number-one suspect.

This is the first time I have read this author. I really enjoyed the book and look forward to reading others by her. This is a quick and easy read.

I have liked all of Anne Frasier's books, particularly HUSH -- great character development and forward momentum. BEFORE I WAKE is the first of the post-HUSH novels that really had me hooked from beginning to end though. I think a lot of it has to do with the ease in which i was able to identify with Arden, the main character -- I get where she's coming from and she doesn't feel flat and two-dimensional like a lot of thriller novel protagonists. It did take me a little while to get used to the idea of mind bleaching, it seemed a little far-fetched for me at first, but I quickly found myself buried in the story. It definitely helps that Frasier's writing is clever and funny, even in the scariest of situations. Anyway, it's really a well-written book and more importantly, a fun read from beginning to end.

The Amazon reader reviews gave a very high rating for this book, but I thought the plot was highly contrived, it really dragged in places, and I wasn't really very interested in the characters or the plot.

another great suspenseful story from Anne Frasier. An experiment gone bad is only the beginning

Found this book in the seat pocket in a plane. I started the book and couldn't get into it. My friend read it and LOVED it. Said the book had lots of plot twists and was a good suspense read.
