Since We Fell

Sharply different . . . [Lehane] remains one of the great, diabolical thriller kings who seems intimately acquainted with darkness and can make it seep from the page of screen

New York Times

Acclaimed Lehane is at the top of his game with this multi-layered story of a troubled woman who begins to mistrust her perfect husband. The plot oozes tension and the brilliant writing makes this a thriller to lose yourself in

Sunday Mirror

Combines pulp thrills with literary heart and sophistication

Entertainment Weekly

Lehane, is, as ever, a graceful writer, observant of the world that shapes his characters' lives

The Washington Post

With sharply acute characterisation, this is classic Lehane

Guardian

A riveting thriller . . . Lehane's prose knocks most of his crime-writing contemporaries into a cocked hat, and I gulped his novel down with enormous pleasure

Daily Telegraph

Complex . . . filmically arresting

Independent

Lehane is a superior crime writer and this nuanced novel is both a gripping portrait of the psychological wounds we carry inside us and a stealthy, plot-twisting thriller steeped into darkness and violence

Metro

One of America's best writers in any genre

Irish Independent

Lehane has written two books - one, an insightful examination of the search for identity and belonging, and two, a thriller that constantly leaves you guessing - and then smashed them together into one terrific read. Lehane is the master of complex human characters thrust into suspenseful, page-turning situations. In short, I hate him. But I'll read anything he writes

Gillian Flynn

The most thrilling novel I'll read all year. Since We Fell is simmering with emotion, menace, and humour. I loved it

Kate Atkinson

In Since We Fell we see the same enormous talent and literary skill that has characterized his other work. Few use language that has such raw power. His ability to create levels of tension that cause the reader to sweat in a cold room has no peer.This story is hard to put down. The mystery and intrigue never let go; the heart-racing tempo and twists and turns are engaging and unexpected all the way down the track

James Lee Burke

Once you pick up a Dennis Lehane novel you're hooked. It's just that simple. Since We Fell is a complex, compelling, page-turner of a novel from a master storyteller at the top of his game

Kristin Hannah, New York Times bestselling author

One of crime fiction's most exciting and well-orchestrated finales-rife with dramatic tension and buttressed by rich psychological interplay between the characters. Don't be surprised if Since We Fell makes readers forget about that other psychological thriller featuring an unstable heroine named Rachel

Booklist

What seems at the start to be an edgy psychological mystery seamlessly transforms into a crafty, ingenious tale of murder and deception

Kirkus

Splendidly-engineered, wide-ranging plotting and Lehane's intuitive pulse for human frailties make this a compelling read

LoveReading

The mood and pace change directions as quickly as the plot, but Lehane never lets his narrative vehicle veer out of control

Booklist

The author replaces tension with action and pace, keeping the reader relentlessly turning the pages to a propulsive climax

Big Issue

There's something of Hitchcock about the way menace begins to ooze from every situation. Compelling's the word!
