Since We Fell (Lehane) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Endlessly surprising.… [A] twisty tale.
Wall Street Journal

The surfeit of plot twists and emotional baggage are buoyed by Lehane’s hard-boiled lyricism and peerless feel for New England noir.
USA Today

With sharply acute characterization, this is classic Lehane.
Guardian (UK)

A pleasantly twisted character study and a love story.… Lehane is in command of what he’s doing.
Tampa Bay Times

Make no mistake, Since We Fell is crime fiction, filled with con men, murder, greed and revenge. But the love story gives this novel its heart.
Associated Press

Another winner from the author of Mystic River.… A raucous mix of lust, greed, and betrayal.
AARP Magazine

A ride you won’t want to miss.
New York Journal of Books


[An] expertly wrought character study masquerading as a thriller.… The book’s conspiracy plot doesn’t cut the deepest; it’s Lehane’s intensely intimate portrayal of a woman tormented by her own mind.
Publishers Weekly


[T]his narrative vehicle never veers out of control, and when Lehane hits the afterburners in the last 50 pages, he produces one of crime fiction’s most exciting and well-orchestrated finales — rife with dramatic tension and buttressed by rich psychological interplay between the characters. —Bill Ott 
Booklist


[P]lenty of intrigue, intricacies, and emotional subtleties..… What seems at the start to be an edgy psychological mystery seamlessly transforms into a crafty, ingenious tale of murder and deception—and a deeply resonant account of one woman’s effort to heal deep wounds.
