Summary

The sins of the past echo in the present in the new literary thriller from rising star of crime fiction Rachael Blok.

The wind is cold this high up. The man shouts out, but nobody hears. The cathedral roof has caught his fall, but it will not hold him for long. The night is dark. And it is such a long way down....

On Good Friday, the verger of St Albans cathedral was supposed to be preparing the Easter service. Instead he discovers a man lying dead, fallen from the famous 50-foot-high spire. Did he jump, or was he pushed?

For DCI Maarten Jansen, it's a simple case of suspected suicide. Until a stranger, Willow, who witnessed the jump, prompts a deeper investigation into a long-buried past, involving a mental hospital, a pregnant woman and 50 years of silence. As Willow's own family history entwines with the case, Jansen starts to wonder how everything is connected.

The Fall is a haunting literary thriller about loss, trauma, silence and how our past shapes who we are.

Unexpected Endings.

I enjoyed this story which has been set in my home town around the Cathedral and Cell (Hill) Barns hospital which is now a housing estate. Plenty of twists and turns and unexpected endings to keep you guessing.
