Summary: Stalkers, unlimited!
Comment: Sharon McCone, female PI, begins to hear reports of someone who is impersonating her. This person uses her credit cards, breaks into her house, has affairs while using Sharon's identity, and begins to seriously mess up Sharon's life and psyche. At the same time, Sharon's secretary Ted is exhibiting strange and irrascible behavior. Eventually it comes to light that he, too, is battling with a stalker. Are these incidents related and is it the same person doing all of this mischief? Sharon has to investigate these problems without the support of her lover, Hy Ripinsky, who is off on an assignment for his company. The identities of the stalkers are revealed before the end of the book, but Muller still spins a good tale of Sharon's investigation and pursuit of them. As usual, flying plays an important part in this book and there is a good mystery told. This book will please Sharon McCone fans, old and new.

Summary: Another McCone mystery hits on target
Comment: While Other People Sleep, like the last half dozen Sharon McCone mysteries show a writer at her economic best. No lengthy descriptions or unnecessary verbiage clutter the California landscape that Sharon traverses in her search for an imitator, and terrorizer, of her life. The story moves swiftly and smoothly, with the all too familiar creepy horror of the current scourge of society - the stalker - hanging over every move our protagonist makes. Marcia Muller always keeps McCone fresh and alive for her readers, and we'll hopefully enjoy her investigations for another twenty years.

Summary: Inadvertently appropriate title
Comment: After the initial 50 pages or so, I became one of the people the title mentions. The plot of this book does not deserve this name, the solution (i.e. the identification of the "bad person") is ridiculous. The final sections seem to have been written because a certain number of pages had to be filled. The basic idea of the book is not bad, but Muller did not manage to develop a full-blown mystery.
