There is an abundance of psychological thrillers out there with the emphasis on police procedures, so Don't Wake Up was something so completely different as it was set in a hospital. I was not surprised to learn that Liz Lawler had a long-standing career as a nurse as this was so procedurally accurate that I felt as if I was in the hospital at times.
Don't Wake Up is a really enjoyable, fast-paced medical thriller. Alex is a character that you can see falling apart in front of your eyes and, as a reader, you are helpless to stop it. I wanted to shout: 'I believe you, Alex!' as she felt so very alone. I could have given her boyfriend, Patrick, a good slap as he doesn't even hide the fact that he doesn't believe her. What a detestable man - as a vet, I do hope he was kinder to animals than he was to someone he was supposed to love. It just shows what great characters Liz Lawler has created to make me display such feelings.
If you're looking for a different thriller, I'd definitely recommend Don't Wake Up, although I definitely wouldn't give it to somebody to read whilst in hospital.
