Sadowsky doesn’t ask us to feel sorry for her characters, though. Her focus is on exploring the doubt and disillusionment that often invade long-term romantic relationships, through the heightened circumstances of murder and treachery in St. Lucia. Complex, suspenseful, and character-driven, Just Fall‘s wild ride through missing persons cases, double-crosses, and severed lips reads like a modern-day Hitchcock thriller.

If you are looking for a slightly muted horror story, where the characters move everything, and where you will be left wondering what is truly going on until the very end, you should pick up Just Fall and see just where it takes you.

The popularity of thrillers centered on an enigmatic husband and wife continues here, with the inevitable comparison to The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
