So Say the Fallen by Stuart Neville

5.0

I've been a fan of Neville's since his first book, The Ghosts of Belfast. This is the second book in the DCI Serena Flanagan series. The first one was incredibly chilling. This one was even more so. I often wonder how authors can envision the twisted characters they present in their books. So far Neville hasn't disappointed me. DCI Flanagan's husband was attacked in the last book by the suspects she was chasing. She also was being treated for breast cancer. This book finds her husband and children pulling away from her because they perceive her as more interested in her job than them. When Flanagan is called in to do what is normally a routine investigation of a suicide, something doesn't add up. It's just a feeling, but it nags at her. There's no mystery here, but the building suspense is incredible. Neville is an accomplished writer who writes very well. I really like this character. I hope, however, he writes another Jack Lennon book.
