None Shall Sleep

How it reads

None Shall Sleep is young adult (young-adult serial-killer thriller, specifically), and its dominant mood is tense. The suspense is the kind you feel in your shoulders. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in a big city setting, in the present day, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are justice, friendship and secrets. In weight it sits in the middle: substantial without being heavy going.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 387 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
