ALL FALL DOWN
Written by Tom Bale
September 1, 2016; 359 Pages
Bookouture
Genre: suspense, thriller, mystery
(I received an ARC from the NETGALLEY in exchange for an honest review.)
★★★
At a Turner family barbecue a man stumbles onto their property, bloody and barely alive. After the man dies the police start to investigate. The Turner family has some secrets - some that may be on the dangerous side. Could this dead man be tied to one of the Turners? And can they keep themselves from being the next victim?
I read great reviews on Bale's previous novel, See How They Run, so I was happy to request and review this suspense novel. I thought the novel was okay and the suspense kept me going...the pace was a bit slow and the characters seemed to have no personal traits. (ie: the names seem to be the only difference between characters). And by the end I just wanted to see where it was all going I almost missed how neat and quickly it was all tied up. I read some other reviews on this book - more good than bad - I saw one familiar pharse "not as good as See How They Run". While I did not exactly enjoy this novel I am definitely down for his previous book before making any judgements. I would tell readers if you cannot get into this book, I would pass on it as my feelings never changed from page 10 to 300.
