Publisher's summary

New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz returns with the first novel of the Lost Night Files, an exciting new romantic suspense trilogy about a night that changed three women forever—but that none of them can remember.

Seven months ago, Pallas Llewellyn, Talia March, and Amelia Rivers were strangers, until their fateful stay at the Lucent Springs Hotel. An earthquake and a fire partially destroyed the hotel, but the women have no memory of their time there. Now close friends, the three women co-host a podcast called the Lost Night Files, where they investigate cold cases and hope to connect with others who may have had a similar experience to theirs—an experience that has somehow enhanced the psychic abilities already present in each woman.

After receiving a tip for their podcast, Pallas travels to the small college town of Carnelian, California, to explore an abandoned asylum. Shaken by the dark energy she feels in the building, she is rushing out when she’s stopped by a dark figure—who turns out to be the women's mysterious tipster.

Ambrose Drake is certain he’s a witness to a murder, but without a body, everyone thinks he’s having delusions caused by extreme sleep deprivation. But Ambrose is positive something terrible happened at the Carnelian Sleep Institute the night he was there. Unable to find proof on his own, he approaches Pallas for help, only for her to realize that Ambrose, too, has a lost night that he can’t remember—one that may be connected to Pallas. Pallas and Ambrose conduct their investigation using the podcast as a cover, and while the townsfolk are eager to share what they know, it turns out there are others who are not so happy about their questions—and someone is willing to kill to keep the truth from coming out.

Fast paced, mysterious romance with moments of humor

An interior designer-turned-podcaster and an investigator-turned-author team up to solve a murder while trying to figure out what happened to them when they lost time/memories in separate incidents that disrupted their lives and boosted their nascent psychic abilities. Fast paced, mysterious, with moments of humor and subtle references to the author’s historical Burning Cove series.

Lost Night Files

Krentz delivers a great story with a touch of paranormal. The characters are well developed and likeable.

Not Up to Her Usual

Plot "A" follows to danger "B" follows to Hero "C".
Used this one to help me with insomnia (it's true!). I'm calling this a formula that I can nearly see written on a white board with erasable markers for the small moments of inspiration. And they are small. On to my biggest complaint: I'm just super irritable after having bought another title that turned out to be from her rehashed 90's romance fiction. She pumped out these vapid stories when JK was first learning how to crank out book-under-contract. It claimed to be from 2023, but on purchase, it was revealed to have been written 20 years ago. No refund from Audible. I had paid cash and this, apparently, means they don't give refunds. Excuse me? Your policy limits liability for deception? My personal policy is to avoid purchases from companies that don't stand by their products. BTW- I was unable to write a review for that title (no excuse given so you know it's totally legit!)....so I'm putting the review here.

Excellent book

The story was engrossing with lost of twists. The narrator was good. The one suggestion I have is to have a male and female narrator.

Fantastic!

Jayne Ann Krentz is at the top of her game with Sleep No More. This book is the definition of a page-turner. Why? Because Ms. Krentz takes compelling, sympathetic characters and drops them in a fairly isolated location in what seems like a contained plot, but when the layers are revealed, the stakes are high and the ideas are BIG. Thousands, if not tens of thousands of whodunnits have been written, but Ms. Krentz accomplishes that rare feat—she makes it fresh and current. 

I’m not going to rehash the plot in this review. Read the book description for that (or better, the book). A perfect example of Ms. Krentz’s skill is the main character, Pallas Llewellyn, who has a podcast. In the hands of a lesser author, a podcast would’ve felt trite, if not forced. But it works perfectly in Sleep No More, as Ms. Krentz artfully weaves a minor subplot and character backstory deftly into the main storyline.

Above all, Sleep No More is suspenseful. No, it’s riveting. Do yourself a favor and read this book. You may lose some sleep (haha), but it’s worth it. Highly recommended!

Read Reviews Last…..

first time, bought before I even knew what book was about. First have to address, has nothing to do with quality of books, I have bought one book with ‘dust bunny’, read the page it was on and never bought another. Just the way we are made…. Book is wonderful! No disappointment. Thank you! New narrator, at least I don’t remember her and she was fine.
