What I have found is that titles that have no synopsis posted on NetGalley seem to have a low pick-up rate, as if people cannot manage to search for it elsewhere on the web. Maybe people are just lazy, who knows. This is one of those with no blurb, but after reading it elsewhere on the net it sounded intriguing, it certainly didn't put me off! Okay, rant over!
With advance praise from Jeffery Deaver and Lee Child, and it being recommended for fans of Stieg Larsson, Sharon Bolton and Peter Swanson, this had me at hello. I see that this is the second in the Nora Watts series from Sheena Kamal, I haven't read the first one, but I feel this could easily qualify as a standalone title.
"It All Falls Down" is what you call a real page-turner with a fantastic storyline and Nora Watts, the central character is a fascinating and well-developed protagonist who is both feisty and deeply flawed. In Nora, Kamal has created a believable and relatable main character. I plan to go back and read the first in the series in order to understand how her past has moulded her into the person she is today. The plot is taut and intricate, full of tension and suspense. The writing is excellent making the novel very simple to engage with and plenty of pace in the storyline means everything just flows naturally, this made it an absolute pleasure to read.
