Alec Dearbourne begins to experience vividly violent dreams; hallucinations frequently overtake his consciousness and seem to transport him to another plane of reality.

I've had this book in my to-read list for years now. Sadly, the cover didn't pull me to it. So, my first comment would be not to judge a book by its cover.
This was a fast read with events that I didn't foresee. At first, it reads like any mystery or suspense. It has a hint, I would say, of science fiction too but you have to read it through to see what I mean.
While reading, I speculated a lot on who did what or what was true or not…I expected many things, some actually came true, others, not quite. It kept me guessing, which of course, kept me reading.
Now if you don't like detailed descriptions, you may not like this book. Yet, most are easy to skim if you don't want to know what they have/had for breakfast/lunch/supper etc… I mean I have nothing against it (although some could have easily been cut out), and the descriptions of the area painted vivid images in my head, but the food part didn't do much for me. I think the author might have done it to depict an every day family. Besides, there are recipes of many of the food described in the last chapter. (Yes, there is one chapter dedicated to that, so I was a bit surprised to see the book end a chapter shorter.)
Over all and interesting story that I would recommend reading sitting on a deck with a cold drink…
