‘The Fall’ by Evie Hunter is a revenge thriller by an author I haven’t heard of before this book. One thing I love is being introduced to new authors through my blogging and consider myself honoured to be a part of the book blogging world. Once I picked it up I was definitely drawn into Lauren Miller’s world.
We meet Lauren Miller who has been released from a six-year prison sentence for a crime she didn’t commit. Now she is back and determined to bring the real culprits to justice. Journalist Nate Black is intrigued by Lauren’s story. Is she the innocent victim she claims to be or is there more to her past? Eager to learn more he offers to help Lauren clear her name and bring the real villains to justice. But with millions of pounds still missing, Lauren remains the prime suspect…and the main target in an increasingly deadly game. And as Lauren’s plan with Nate reaches its shocking climax, no one knows who will ultimately take the fall…
A truly gritty, gripping and hard-hitting thriller with a plot that immersed me immediately. This was a book in which the tension slowly built then came to a crescendo that makes you take a deep breath before you race through to the ending without taking a breath almost. Lauren Miller was a character that I didn’t know if I fully trusted her. Just something made me wary but it may be because I think everyone is up to something with the amount of thrillers I read these days. This made for an even more intriguing story as I was always second-guessing as the story unfolded.
‘The Fall’ is an excellently written unpredictable thriller that has made me curious to see more from Evie Hunter in the future. I would recommend this to fans of Kerry Kaya and Gemma Rogers, definitely.
Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for my copy of the book.
