I recently reread an out-of-print edition of Praying for Sleep that I first read in 1999. I had noticed it on my book shelf at a time when I had nothing new to read and realized I had completely forgotten the plot. So I reread it and enjoyed it immensely. There are lots of plot twists, as is usual with Deaver, and I found Deaver's look into the mind of a schizophrenic personality to be fascinating. Even the second time around, moreover, I was completely surprised by Deaver's ending. I suppose that doesn't say much for my long-term memory, but I think it says a lot for Deaver's book.
