i have been a fan of simon wood's books since day one, so i was very excited to get my hands on this one. his first two were great, but i have to say that 'we all fall down' is my favorite so far. his style of writing captivates the reader from page one and it is hard to put it down once you start reading! i felt i was almost rude to those around me because i couldn't tear myself away from the book--i had to know what happened next. i don't want to give away the ending of the book, but what i particularly like about this book is that the mystery part is very straightforward. the storyline is intriguing, but not too messy and complicated as some writers tend to make them. it had all of the right twists and turns, and it resolved in a way that left me satisfied and wanting more. simon also does a really good job of explaining things without going over the reader's head. in particular those parts about molecular biology, which i know nothing about, were explained just enough that i understood their importance without feeling dumbed down or being lost in the terminology. i highly reccomend this book to anyone who likes a good murder mystery/thriller. i can't wait for the next simon wood book.

This is the King Kong Thriller of Thriller books which I highly recommend. It's a Must read, Gotta Have It Book. It's 100% heart pounding and fast paced. Simply can't peel your eyes off of the book and keeps you constantly turning the pages to find out what happens next. Fully loaded with lots of adrenalin. Warning: Buckle your seatbelt because you're in for a wild crazy thriller ride. Once you start reading this brilliant masterpiece, you'll be hooked on Simon Wood's books guaranteed. He'll leave you hungry for more, so I suggest you get all of his books because he is the higher end, excellent quality and the style of writing is like savoring the best smooth dark chocolate ever. I'm extremely looking forward to expecting more great books coming from him. Can't wait, can't wait. Gotta have more. :D

This was my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more of his work. The plot unfolds clue by clue as it does for the characters, giving you the feeling you were right there with them. Mr. Wood gives you just enough to make you want to read on without giving away the ending. Great read!

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.Design engineering contractor Hayden Duke is pleased to have been hired by Marin Design Engineering for a short term project. He hopes that his work will impress the firm¿s bosses so they would hire him for a full time position. Before he was selected, another contractor walked into the ocean and drowned. The witnesses who called 911 heard the man mumble he did a horrible thing and must pay the price. --- The person who hired Hayden is his friend Shane Fallon who is glad to have his pal on board. A couple of days after Hayden starts working Shane sends him an email with an attachment that he cannot open. Hayden calls Shane, who warns him to delete it. Hayden goes to Shane¿s house only to find a hallucinating man who is locked inside his apartment seeking electronic bugs. He kills himself and the autopsy reveals a bruise on his hand like the man who committed suicide in the ocean. Shane¿s sister Rebecca and Hayden believe there is more to his apparent suicide and it is linked in some manner to the project. When the project is completed, everyone associated with it except Hayden and Rebecca die in an arson fire. Trying to stay alive and elude police and fire officials¿ suspicions, the pair seek the truth, which may prove deadly for them. --- WE ALL FALL DOWN is an exciting enthralling thriller that focuses on two characters, Hayden and Rebecca, who obstinately and perhaps foolishly are determined to learn what is going on. They refuse to quit their amateur sleuthing although each step especially false leads they take opens up additional cans of worms and exponentially increases the danger to them. Simon Wood provides a dynamite suspense story as the audience is beguiled into anticipating what next. --- Harriet Klausner
