Mark Lawson, the Guardian's Best Crime Books and Thrillers of 2017
<b>Complex, tense, compelling</b>, and <b>an emotional and strategic hall of mirror</b>s, where nothing is what it seems - but <b>I would follow Dennis Lehane anywhere</b>
Lee Child
One of the <b>outstanding</b> crime novelists of this century . . . <b>absorbing</b> . . . demonstrating a <b>psychological depth</b> and sensitivity
The Times
<b>terrific </b>. . . a crime writer fully the equal of more ostensibly literary authors
Evening Standard
<b>Sharply different</b> . . . [Lehane] remains one of the great, diabolical <b>thriller kings </b>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 <b>multi-layered</b> story of a troubled woman who begins to mistrust her perfect husband. The plot <b>oozes tension </b>and the <b>brilliant </b>writing makes this a thriller to lose yourself in
Sunday Mirror
Combines <b>pulp thrills</b> with literary heart and <b>sophistication</b>
Entertainment Weekly
Lehane, is, as ever, a <b>graceful writer</b>, observant of the world that shapes his characters' lives
The Washington Post
With <b>sharply acute characterisation</b>, this is classic Lehane
Guardian
A <b>riveting thriller</b> . . . 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
<b>Complex</b> . . . filmically <b>arresting</b>
Independent
Lehane is a <b>superior </b>crime writer and this nuanced novel is both a <b>gripping </b>portrait of the psychological wounds we carry inside us and a <b>stealthy, plot-twisting thriller </b>steeped into darkness and violence
Metro
<b>One of America's best writers</b> 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 <b>constantly leaves you guessing</b> - and then smashed them together into one <b>terrific read</b>. Lehane is <b>the master of complex human characters</b> thrust into <b>suspenseful</b>, page-turning situations. In short, I hate him. But <b>I'll read anything he writes </b>
Gillian Flynn
The <b>most thrilling novel I'll read all yea</b>r. <i>Since We Fell </i>is <b>simmering with emotion, menace, and humour</b>. I <b>loved it</b>
Kate Atkinson
In <i>Since We Fell</i> we see the same <b>enormous talent and literary skill </b>that has characterized his other work. Few use language that has such <b>raw power</b>. His ability to create levels of tension that cause the reader to sweat in a cold room has no peer.<b>This story is hard to put down.</b> The<b> mystery and intrigue never let go</b>; the heart-racing tempo and <b>twists and turns</b> are engaging and<b> unexpected</b> all the way down the track
James Lee Burke
Once you pick up a Dennis Lehane novel <b>you're hooked</b>. It's just that simple. <i>Since We Fell</i> is a<b> complex, compelling, page-turne</b>r of a novel from a <b>master storyteller at the top of his game</b>
Kristin Hannah, New York Times bestselling author
One of crime fiction's <b>most exciting </b>and well-orchestrated finales-rife with <b>dramatic tension</b> and buttressed by rich psychological interplay between the characters. Don't be surprised if<i> Since We Fell</i> makes readers forget about that other psychological thriller featuring an unstable heroine named Rachel
Booklist
What seems at the start to be an <b>edgy</b> psychological mystery seamlessly transforms into a <b>crafty</b>,<b> ingenious</b> tale of murder and deception
Kirkus
Splendidly-engineered, <b>wide-ranging plotting</b> and Lehane's <b>intuitive </b>pulse for human frailties make this a <b>compelling </b>read
LoveReading
The <b>mood and pace change directions as quickly as the plot</b>, but Lehane never lets his narrative vehicle veer out of control
Booklist
The author replaces tension with <b>action</b> and <b>pace</b>, keeping the reader relentlessly turning the pages to a <b>propulsive climax</b>
Big Issue
<b>There's something of Hitchcock about the way menace begins to ooze from every situation. </b>Compelling's the word!
