In fact, it could all end in murder…

My Thoughts: Fall from Grace by Alan Feldberg is a crime thriller mystery. Adrian Smythe, the main protagonist leads a normal life with his wife and child until he quits his job and doesn’t say anything. The book unfolds through the eyes of the main protagonist and the chapters switch between the periods before he quit his job, the then, and after he quit his job, the now.

The book is a slow starter as it fills in the background, some chapters are short which adds to the tension, but I do wonder at times where the books is going.

I found the book moving and unsettling at the same time as well as challenging following the demise of the main character, Feldberg has a different way of writing a psychological thriller, from what I am used to, which is not a bad thing, it shows individuality, as Feldberg goes deep into the mind of the killer exposing his thoughts as the events unravel.

In conclusion, if you want something different to read in the way the story is put together this is the books for you a slow paced psychological thriller exploring the mind of the killer.
