âPossibly my favorite of Pinboroughâs yet, and thatâs saying something. Itâs an absolute rollercoaster of a ride: twist upon twist, expertly handled. I actually gasped out loud several times. So atmospheric and sexy⦠A triumph!" â Lucy Foley, New York Times bestselling author, on Dead to Her

In the dead of night, madness lies...
Emma Averell loves her lifeâher high-powered legal career, her two beautiful children, and her wonderful stay-at-home husbandâbut it wasnât always so perfect. When she was just five years old, Emma and her older sister went into foster care because of a deeply disturbing incident with their mother. Her sister can remember a time when their mother was loving and ânormal,â but Emma can only remember her as one thingâa monster.
And that monster emerged right around their motherâs fortieth birthday, the same milestone Emma is approaching now.
Emma desperately wants to keep her childhood trauma in the past, but as she stops being able to sleep, she also canât stop thinking about what happened all those years ago. Is the madness in her blood? Could she end up hurting her family in her foggy, half-awake state, just like her mother? Or is there another explanation for the strange things that keep happening around her? Emma must unravel the dark strands of her past to protect the people she loves⦠or risk losing it all, including her sanity.
Unsettling and utterly addicting, Insomnia is a heart-pounding thriller that will have you up all night.
