The Sleeping Warrior is a thought-provoking, humorous, and intriguing debut novel from an accomplished writer. Sara Bain's genre-defying story combines a crime mystery with other-worldly fantasy to great success. The cast of interesting characters, headed by wise-cracking solicitor Libby and the warrior figure Gabriel Radley, grabbed hold of me until the final page and left me bereft at the end. From the streets of London to the peaceful beauty of the Scottish island of Arran, this is a page-turning read. I can't wait for the next novel by this author.
