APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Rachel Paris brings a calculating intelligence to her debut novel, a reliably twisty psychological thriller. See How They Fall takes knowing cues from Succession as it delves into the dense tangles of ambition and deceit within a luxury-goods dynasty whose famous patriarch recently died. Over Easter weekend at a posh seaside property near Sydney, the family gather to settle their succession plans. But when a family member is killed by poison, the police send Detective Mei O’Connor to close this urgent, high-profile murder case. The novel alternates between Mei’s perspective and that of Skye Turner, a relative outsider who has married into this cutthroat clan. Between the curt prose, closed setting and ticking clock, this is one frightfully effective page-turner.
