Customer Reviews

Psychological Thriller

This is the first book I have read by this author, and I was impressed. This was a psychological thriller with many twists and turns . . . leading up to a satisfying end. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys the genre.

Loved it!

This author really knows how to write a suspense novel! I have read all her books (except Chances Are because it's out of print), and they are all fantastic. This one was no exception. You feel as if you actually know these characters. It's a fast-paced story with a lot of plot twists. You will not be disappointed with this one. I can't wait for the next book from Erica Spindler.

Fantastic Ending

I was skeptical of this book when I started reading it. It seemed like the author was giving away too much of the plot at during the first half and letting you know the ending. Wrong! Erica Spindler does a knockout job in this suspense novel. I thought I had it all figure out and was I ever wrong. I won't go into the plot since everyone else has done that. Just take it from me, nothing is what it seems. If you are looking for a good read, this is the book for you.

Fabulous!

ALL FALL DOWN was a fabulous book. The pace left me breathless and the plot just kept going and going. It's everything a good mystery ought to be and then some. Bravo, Erica!Christiane Heggan

This author has cross-genre appeal

The murder of socialite Joli Anderson shakes up Charlotte, as the victim is the daughter of one of the most prominent businessmen in the area. However, the impact is felt even stronger in the suburb of Whistlestop where the corpse was found. The Charlotte Police Department takes charge of the case with the FBI providing assistance. The small Whistlestop Police Department is relegated to a clerical support role that galls Officer Melanie May, but there is nothing she can do about her assignment on the Anderson case.FBI profiler Connor Parks is removed from the case and placed on leave because his obsession interferes with his official work. Connor feels extreme guilt caused by his ignoring his sister's cry of wolf once too many times. Unfortunately, his ignoring her cry for help leads to her death. However, Connor's profile of the killer begins to remind Melanie of an individual she knows. As she struggles with her "hunch," Melanie must deal with her influential ex-husband who has filed for custody of their four-year old son, and her growing attraction to the enigmatic Connor.ALL FALL DOWN is a powerful romantic police procedural that will provide immense pleasure to fans of both genres. The exciting story line focuses on the interrelationships of law enforcement departments while working a particularly nasty case with high media visibility. Melanie is a wonderful character whose own obsession of being a heroine causes her anguish. Connor is sort of a fallen angel trying to regain his self worth, but losing the battle within his own soul. The secondary characters bring out the traits of the lead couple even as their subplots tie back to the main tale. Erica Spindler deserves cross genre acclaim.Harriet Klausner
