[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.

Compelling's the word! * Evening Telegraph (Peterborough) *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.
