Kirkus calls this crime drama "spellbinding," Publishers Weekly adds "emotionally wrenching." Read it and see why this novel is used as a textbook example for how to weave an un-put-down-able story in writing classes.

Entertainment Weekly says, "[Lehane's] work always combines pulp thrills with literary heart and sophistication." From the publisher: "Since We Fell follows Rachel Childs, a former journalist who, after an on-air mental breakdown, now lives as a virtual shut-in. In all other respects, however, she enjoys an ideal life with an ideal husband. Until a chance encounter on a rainy afternoon causes that ideal life to fray. As does Rachel’s marriage. As does Rachel herself. Sucked into a conspiracy thick with deception, violence, and possibly madness, Rachel must find the strength within herself to conquer unimaginable fears and mind-altering truths."
