Fall from Grace

Written by Clyde Phillips

Narrated by Angela Dawe

Veteran San Francisco homicide detective Jane Candiotti never had a problem drawing the line between her personal and professional lives—until the night she meets David Perry after his socialite wife, Jenna, is brutally murdered. The facts are damning: the Perrys were embroiled in a bitter divorce and now David stands to inherit millions in the wake of Jenna’s death. But Jane’s instincts tell her there’s more to this case than just greed and love gone sour.

To uncover the truth, she must dig into the sordid secrets of the city’s most powerful families, a quest that will draw her inextricably closer to David and his teenage daughter…and to the cold-blooded killer who’s stalking their every move. But when the case takes a shocking turn, it’s not just Jane’s reputation that’s hanging in the balance—it’s her life.

A terrifying noir thriller from the executive producer of Dexter, Fall From Grace was hailed by Dennis Lehane as “a deftly plotted first novel with the pace of a hurricane and the impact of an earthquake.”

Reviews for Fall from Grace

[cherilove · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The suspense was high and plotting somewhat original, but also not believable. The author was clearly aiming for a female audience with the way he handled the primary romance, but sexual details will seem either gratuitous or disgusting to a fair number of women.

This is one of those books that you need a seat belt for. You start page one and it's a wild and fast ride to the end. It's about folks from the toney side of San Francisco, the San Francisco homicide squad and murders with so many plot twists you feel like you need to stretching exercises when you finish to get yourself unwound. It's good. It's a first novel and he's just come out with number 2. It features the same homicide detective and her partner.

This was an unexpected read, one in which I could not put down! This plot is everything but dull. Truly gravitating and kept me hungry for more page after page. This surely transformed me from my couch to San Francisco itself. Be prepared to slip away and devour a MUST READ. Already pursuing Blindsided, part two of this four book series.
