Publisher Description
It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime.
Delighted by a surprise invitation, Miriam Macy sails off to a luxurious private island off the coast of Mexico, with six strangers—an ex-cop, a chef, a financial advisor, a nurse, a lawyer, and a young widow.
Surrounded by miles of open water in the gloriously green Sea of Cortez, Miriam is shocked to discover that she and the rest of her companions have been brought to the remote island under false pretenses—and all seven strangers harbor a secret.
Danger lurks in the lush forest and in the halls and bedrooms of the lonely mansion. Sporadic cell-phone coverage and miles of ocean keeps the group trapped in paradise. And strange accidents keep them suspicious of each other, as one by one … they all fall down.
For fans of thrilling contemporary suspense like The Woman in Cabin 10, Rachel Howzell Hall’s brilliant stand-alone novel modernizes and pays homage to Agatha’s Christie’s And Then There Were None, bringing a diverse cast of seven sinners to a private island for a reckoning that will leave you breathless.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Rachel Howzell Hall’s masterful thriller is equal parts Agatha Christie and The Twilight Zone. When Miriam Macy gets an invitation to be a reality TV contestant on an isolated Mexican island, it seems too good to be true. It soon turns out Miriam and the six other invitees have been misled—and people start dropping like flies. What do these seven very different travelers have in common, and who wants to kill them? Miriam is a wonderfully complex heroine who’s sometimes sympathetic and sometimes contemptible. Janina Edwards’ narration gets deep inside her head, bringing her buffet of conflicting emotions to life in all their anxiety-inducing glory. By the end of the book, everything you thought you knew going in will be turned upside down. They All Fall Down is an edgy and intense thrill ride.
