And if she isn't careful, she might be its final victim. Book: ISBN: 0099400588 9780099400585: OCLC Number: 41420848: Notes: Originally published: London: Bodley Head, 1998. Could all these events be connected? As Deirdre digs deeper into the past, she becomes increasingly convinced that her father's death is merely the deadly third act in a story that has long been in development. While she has seemed incapable of writing badly throughout her career, her latest, a mystery that takes place almost entirely over the course of six days near the close of May 1985, is far and away her best work to date. Deirdre was at the Nichols' house the night of the murder, which was also the night she suffered her own personal tragedy. NIGHT NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT will be a surprise to those who have read author Hallie Ephron’s three previous mystery and suspense novels. Back in 1963, Joelen confessed to killing her movie-star mother's boyfriend. The sudden resurfacing of Deirdre's childhood BFF Joelen Nichol - daughter of the famous and infamous Elenor "Bunny" Nichol - seems like more than a coincidence. But the longer she stays in town, the more Deirdre begins to suspect that everything isn't as open-and-closed as she first presumed. At first, Deirdre assumes her father's death was a tragic accident. In a cruel Sunset Boulevard twist, Deirdre arrives home to find her father facedown in his too-small swimming pool - dead.
But she gets a lot more than she expected. When Deirdre Unger makes the drive from San Diego to Beverly Hills to help her father put his dilapidated house on the market, she's expecting to deal with his usual kvetching and dark moods.
