What would you do if the man you love was arrested for murder?

Bad things never happen to Charlotte.

But her fiancé Dan has been hiding a secret, and the pressure is pushing him over the edge.

When he’s arrested for killing a nightclub owner, Charlotte’s future is shattered.

Then she opens her door to Keisha, an angry and frustrated stranger with a story to tell.

Convinced of Dan’s innocence, Charlotte must fight for him – even if it means destroying her perfect life. But what Keisha knows will threaten everyone she loves, and put Charlotte’s own life in danger…

Three stories. One truth. Brace yourself for The Fall.

Peter James
One of the very best novels I've read in a long while...astonishing, powerful and immensely satisfying
S J Bolton
There is nothing not to like...a compelling and flawless thriller
Daily Mirror
A cool and twisted debut
Daily Mail
She knows how to tell a cracking story. She will go far
Guardian
Page-turning
Daily Telegraph
It's crime-novel-meets-Hampstead-novel but without the contrivances of the former genre and the navel-gazing of the latter. Funny and perfectly paced, the pervading sense of "there but for the grace of God go you" chills you to the bone
Sharon Bolton
There is nothing not to like . . . a compelling and flawless thriller
Guardian
The characters are finely drawn, and it's concern for them, rather than for whodunnit, that provides the page-turning impetus in this promising debut
Irish Examiner
Hugely impressive
Mark Edwards
Highly original and compelling
