Book Review: See How They Fall

By Melissa Smoot

When Skye married into the wealthy Turner family, she thought she was entering paradise. But now, several years later, she remains uneasy amid the opulence of her husband’s world, struggling with her own secrets and working to maintain a normal life for their young daughter, Tilly.

Skye’s delicate balance is undone when the family patriarch, Sir Campbell Turner, dies suddenly and an illegitimate heir comes forward to stake his claim in the luxury goods empire the old man leaves behind. Reluctantly, the Turners receive the newcomer at an intimate weekend retreat at Yallambee, the family seaside estate, but tempers flare and egos clash within their first few hours together and the night ends in a tragedy that leaves one dead and another fighting for life.

Sergeant Mei O’Connor is assigned to investigate the incident and though her superiors are keen to close the case as swiftly as possible, the evidence just isn’t lining up. Convinced that there’s more to the suspicious death than a simple accident, Mei continues to search for answers. But pulling at these threads may just tear down the Turner empire. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

For anyone who loves a good psychological thriller, run out and get this book immediately. Not only is the writing superb, but the storyline and suspense quotient are perfect. The plot of the rich family that is hiding secrets is nothing new, but this book takes it to a whole new level. I was alternatively infuriated by the gaslighting of the main character Skye by her own husband and by the misogyny that the female detective, and other main character, Mei, had to suffer. I could not figure out how this was going to end. People were disappearing, getting sick or injured, being made to look crazy, and I still could not pinpoint who the antagonists were going to turn out to be in this story. 

I truly loved this book and hope everyone gets the chance to rip through it the way that I have. I will certainly be on the lookout for the next Rachel Paris novel.

Thanks to BookSparks for the book in exchange for an honest review. Purchase See How They Fall here.
