![]() ![]() ![]() While akin to a YA Mindhunter or Silence of the Lambs, nothing really compares to None Shall Sleep, an emotionally raw and nuanced exploration of the monsters that live inside us. A twisted game ensues when incarcerated teenage sociopath Simon Gutmunsson manipulates them with information about a serial killer on the loose in Pennsylvania. Set in 1982 during the early stages of the FBI’s Behavioural Analysis Unit, two teenagers-Emma Lewis, the lone survivor of a serial killer, and Travis Bell, a future US Marshall whose father was killed by a serial killer-are recruited to interview convicted juvenile killers. Although the novel is not set in Australia-Marney opts for the larger criminal playing field of the US-the author still brings an Australianness to her characters, who are complex and down-to-earth. Mastermind Australian YA writer Ellie Marney comes a gripping new psychological thriller. ![]()
