A sweet and suspenseful short story.
When Night Falls was a sweet story with some good suspense. I read it on my nook (with the font set to "small", and it came in at 37 pages from start to finish, with a few pages of extra information (copyright, disclaimers, etc...)

When Night Falls was a sweet story with some good suspense. I read it on my nook (with the font set to "small", and it came in at 37 pages from start to finish, with a few pages of extra information (copyright, disclaimers, etc...)
The plot essentially surrounds Jocelyn, a therapist who is attacked for ruining the assailant's family, and Sam, and FBI agent who has used Jocelyn's help to solve prior investigations. Sam is nearby when Jocelyn is attacked, and from that point forward he becomes invested in finding her attacker. There are some details in the story that seemed unnecessary, particularly surrounding some religious references that seemed to be forced in and not really linked to any purpose. There are also a few holes here and there and things that aren't explained and should be.
Overall, I found the book to be a fun, short read, despite it's shortcomings with the story. With a bit of action/suspense, and a little romance, I think When Night Falls would be a good story to read to pass a little time one afternoon, when you want to read something, but don't want to invest several hours reading a full novel.

I'm glad that this was free
It was worth every last dime I didn't pay for it! The story had a great deal of potential. It just needed to be fleshed out. The plot was full of holes, and the the characters held promise, but just weren't developed.

Good short story read
I had already read the reviews and I looked at how many pages it was so I knew it was a short story going into it. I think it could have made a really good novel but it was also a good short read.

Good start
This was a good start, but needed to be longer. Although there was a lot of action, the story and characters didn't seem well-developed. I'm not sorry I read this book but it was completely forgettable. The story was intense but the characters and dialogue weren't very interesting.

Best christian writer
Have not read this book but it looks like several of you seem to be searching for well written books by a christian. In my opinion, Terri BLackstock is the best! Start with her restoration series (4 books) and you will want to read every book she has ever written. Download them free to your Nook from the library.

Overall good, but something's missing
Despite the naysayers, I enjoyed this free ebook. I thought the characters and suspense were well written. However, I got the distinct impression that there was something missing. They found the suspect too easily. I wouldn't be surprised if this short book was created by deleting large chunks of a full-length novel. Otherwise, good story, though I could have done without the random references to Christianity!

A Bit Of A Thriller Short Story
While this short story was an interesting story, it almost seems as if the few "little Christian tidbits" were simply thrown in to make this a "Christian" story targeted for Christians. For me, the story was interesting on its own and did not require the couple of religious insertions to make it "Religiously Correct." It should also be noted the story did not require the use of vulgarities to make the story interesting. It was refreshing to read a story without vulgarity for vulgarity sake. ----- Best wishes, Dave Wile

Quick Read
It was very interesting book, but I just wish it was along book. If you want a very quick read and something a little creepy to keep you on the edge of your set. Read this book. It was a free book!!! So hey no reason to complain lol
But I have not read any books before by Margaret Daley. But I cant wait to read more of her writings.2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Just to short
I think that this story has great potential. It just needed to be longer to develop the characters and the plot. The story jumped around to much and left a lot out. It just needed to be longer. All I can say is that I am glad that I did not pay for this book.

Short? More like miniscule.
Could have been a good book if it had been longer than a 10 minute read.

I wasn't impressed by this book. I think it could have been better if it was longer and better developed.
