A Fatal Fall

Title: A Fatal Fall
Author: Matthew Costello, Neil Richards
Published: May 4th 2015 by Bastei Entertainment
Format: Kindle, 114 pages
Genre: Mystery
Series: Cherringham #15

First Sentence: Dylan McCabe spun the wheel of the mini-dumper truck and reversed out of the frozen mud onto the gravel track.

Synopsis: Dylan McCabe - a livewire Irish labourer on a rushed Cherringham building project - has been making noises about the site's lack of safety. When he's discovered dead after a fall, it seems that Dylan's own warnings were all too true. That is- until Jack and Sarah get involved, and suddenly what looks like an accident becomes a case of cold-blooded murder. With a festive Cherringham Christmas just days away, Jack and Sarah set out to find the culprit. But soon they find their own lives being threatened too. (Goodreads)

My Opinion: Another quick outing with Jack and Sarah. This time, the reader knows there is no such thing as a simple construction site accident when this investigating duo is called in. With a couple twists and turns, and a few deceptions, the reader is quickly back in the mix and all too soon realizes feigned concern is nothing more than a ruse.
