The Boy Who Fell

A gripping mystery thriller you won't be able to put down (An Inspector Tom Reynolds Mystery Book 5)

De: Jo Spain

Narrado por: Aoife McMahon

Kids can be so cruel.
They'll call you names.
Hurt your feelings.
Push you to your death.

In the garden of an abandoned house, Luke Connolly lies broken, dead. The night before, he and his friends partied inside. Nobody fought, everybody else went home safely. And yet, Luke was raped and pushed to his death. His alleged attacker is now in custody.

DCI Tom Reynolds is receiving the biggest promotion of his career when a colleague asks him to look at the Connolly case, believing it's not as cut and dried as local investigators have made out. And as Tom begins to examine the world Connolly and his upper class friends inhabited, the privilege and protection afforded to them, he too realises something.

In this place, people cover up for each other. Even when it comes to murder.

An intriguing Rubik's Cube of a book that kept me turning the pages to get to the truth. So well plotted and beautifully written. I absolutely loved it

I can't praise The Confession enough. Brilliant writing, great story . . . a really cracking read

A dizzying tale of lives falling apart that has you addicted from the very first page. I found it impossible to put down, so desperate was I to get to the truth

Here is my confession: I've never read Jo Spain before but now I'll be buying all of her books. The Confession is brutal and brilliant

The Confession is jaw-dropping. Clever. Addictive. Beautifully drawn characters. Masterful storytelling

Loved it! Fabulous characters, superbly written, twists, turns & ends with a punch

An absolute cracker of a book, compulsive, deviously plotted and intense - I will be recommending this to everyone

Jo Spain is such a talent. The Confession had me in its thrall from the first page, revealing the dark side of the Celtic Tiger

I loved this twisty slice of domestic noir

Fantastic narrator !

Loved this one!

I really like this series, but I think this one was the best storyline. I’ll listen to anything narrated by Aoife McMahon.

No question what Jo Spain’s politics are

The story is good but the little political references get annoying. Jo Spain is clearly liberal, which is fine, but not needed for the story and sometimes feels like a stretch to make a point and include her personal opinions on issues vs adding to the story in any way. Especially the little quips about conservatives. Everything is so political now days, I just want to enjoy a story and not make it a social justice thing. I love inspector Reynolds’s and Jo Spain is a great author, but I found myself rolling my eyes multiple times and saying “we get it”
