-A crafty, ingenious tale of murder and deception-and a deeply resonant account of one woman's effort to heal deep wounds that don't easily show.---Kirkus

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. --Gillian Flynn The mystery and intrigue never let go; the twists and turns are engaging and unexpected all the way down the track. --James Lee Burke A pleasantly twisted character study and a love story. . . . Lehane is in command of what he's doing. --Tampa Bay Times [Lehane] remains one of the great, diabolical thriller kings who seems intimately acquainted with darkness and can make it seep from the page. --New York Times A riveting exercise in psychological suspense. --Providence Journal Lehane writes expert, compelling thrillers. . . . He's one of the game changers who smashed the imaginary boundary between genre and literature, proving that we can have the best of both at once. --Tana French, Washington Post A ride you won't want to miss. --New York Journal of Books With sharply acute characterization, this is classic Lehane. --The Guardian [Since We Fell] should have crime fiction fans busting out the bottle rockets and champagne. . . . It's impossible not to succumb. --Lithub Once you pick up a Dennis Lehane novel, you're hooked. It's just that simple. Since We Fell is a complex, compelling, page-turner of a novel from a master storyteller at the top of his game. --Kristin Hannah One doesn't 'read' Since We Fell so much as plunge and tumble through its pages like a raft in white water. A sweet bullet of a book. --Richard Price The surfeit of plot twists and emotional baggage are buoyed by Lehane's hard-boiled lyricism and peerless feel for New England noir. --USA Today Another winner from the author of Mystic River. . . . A raucous mix of lust, greed, and betrayal. --AARP Magazine Complex, tense, compelling, and an emotional and strategic hall of mirrors, where nothing is what it seems--but I would follow Dennis Lehane anywhere. --Lee Child [Lehane's] work always combines pulp thrills with literary heart and sophistication. --Entertainment Weekly Make no mistake, Since We Fell is crime fiction, filled with con men, murder, greed and revenge. But the love story gives this novel its heart. --Associated Press Endlessly surprising. . . . [A] twisty tale. --Wall Street Journal The most thrilling novel I'll read all year. Since We Fell is simmering with emotion, menace, and humor. I loved it. --Kate Atkinson
