I was gripped Louise Jensen, author of The Fall
Sisters Lexie and Amber used to share everything, including their dream of getting out of their small town. Born only ten months apart, they once thought they couldnt be closer.
They were wrong.
Fifteen years ago, Amber was brutally murdered in the woods, and Lexies high-school boyfriend was sentenced to death for her killing. Lexie is still stuck in the town she dreamed shed leave, and everyone thinks she knew more about the night of the killing than she told.
Problem is, theyre right.
Now the execution is just days away, and the town has breathed a sigh of relief. But old secrets are finally being uncovered, and its clear not everyone wants the truth to be told.
And time is rapidly running out
