Critics Review
This fast-paced, authentic thriller - written by an ex-crime analyst - immerses you so deeply in the investigation, you’ll be desperate to get to the bottom of the case.
The characters - and potential suspects - introduced are interesting and compelling, with the background story original and disturbing. Without giving too much away, I felt the subject tackled in this novel deserves to be widely recognised and confronted. This layered plot considers a range of themes including homelessness, revenge and sexuality. By combining all of these strands, Merilyn Davies has produced a believable novel with realistic characters * Elementary V Watson *
Superbly written … For me, If I Fall is an unputdownable, page turner of a read, that kept me guessing and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout … I will certainly be reading more of Merilyn’s work in the future * Ginger Book Geek *
Gripping and authentic * Sunday Times Crime Club *
Merilyn Davies ventures away from the well-known paths to build a gripping thriller * Meggy Roussel *
This fast-paced, authentic thriller – written by an ex-crime analyst – immerses you so deeply in the investigation, you’ll be desperate to get to the bottom of the case. * Crime Monthly Magazine *
‘The darkness surrounding the two girls and their vulnerable hopelessness twanged at my heart strings…That the author is a former crime analyst gives the story an authentic, experienced and intelligent feel. Yet pleasingly there is not too much police jargon. There is a good sense of atmosphere along with time and place in both timelines…an excellent debut novel.’ * Crime Review *
