Publisher's summary

Since We Fell follows Rachel Childs, a former journalist who, after an on-air mental breakdown, now lives as a virtual shut-in. In all other respects, however, she enjoys an ideal life with an ideal husband. Until a chance encounter on a rainy afternoon causes that ideal life to fray. As does Rachel's marriage. As does Rachel herself. Sucked into a conspiracy thick with deception, violence, and possibly madness, Rachel must find the strength within herself to conquer unimaginable fears and mind-altering truths.

By turns heartbreaking, suspenseful, romantic, and sophisticated, Since We Fell is a novel of profound psychological insight and tension. It is Dennis Lehane at his very best.

Editorial reviews

Editors Select, May 2017

I’m embarrassed to admit to being a newcomer to author Dennis Lehane. His disturbing yet thought-provoking books like Shutter Island and Mystic River are the types of stories that are right up my alley, so I jumped on the opportunity for an early listen of his new novel Since We Fell. At first, it feels like literary fiction, gradually revealing more and more about protagonist Rachel and how she came to be a happily married recluse. (Side-note - Lehane’s character development is some of the best I’ve encountered.) As he brings us to present day, the book morphs into a thriller - we already know Rachel shoots her husband...but why? I’d be remiss not to mention the performance of Julia Whelan. She perfectly evokes Rachel's roller-coaster-like internal monologue, all while maintaining an essence of stoicism. While some may feel the need for a lighthearted listen to offset the darkness of Since We Fell, I promptly downloaded Mystic River and can’t wait to press play. —Laura, Audible Editor
