Great Story

Anyone who is an avid fan of mysteries and/or boxing will thoroughly enjoy Alistair Boyle's They Fall Hard. The story keeps the reader riveted to his/her seat until he/she finds out the solution to the mystery. The main character's search for the truth and love for plants is charming, and his "customized clichés" (8) are adorable. Best suited for people approximately high-school aged and older.
