Synopsis

It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime.Delighted by a surprise invitation, Miriam Macy sails off to a luxurious private island off the coast of Mexico, with six strangers—an ex-cop, a chef, a financial advisor, a nurse, a lawyer, and a young widow.Surrounded by miles of open water in the gloriously green Sea of Cortez, Miriam is shocked to discover that she and the rest of her companions have been brought to the remote island under false pretenses—and all seven strangers harbor a secret.Danger lurks in the lush forest and in the halls and bedrooms of the lonely mansion. Sporadic cell-phone coverage and miles of ocean keeps the group trapped in paradise. And strange accidents keep them suspicious of each other, as one by one … they all fall down.For fans of thrilling contemporary suspense like The Woman in Cabin 10, Rachel Howzell Hall’s brilliant stand-alone novel modernizes and pays homage to Agatha’s Christie’s And Then There Were None, bringing a diverse cast of seven sinners to a private island for a reckoning that will leave you breathless.

This is a riveting story of how far one will go to right the wrongs in society. A.Nanci has invited seven people to a private island in Mexico, for the weekend, under the disguise of a gift giveaway of large sums of money.

I bought this book after I met Rachel Howzell Hall at the Festival of Books in LA last year. I absolutely loved listening to her talk about her writing process with the other authors at the panel. They All Fall Down has been sitting on my shelf since then and I was finally able to pick it up. Miriam......more

Goodreads review by Michael on August 30, 2019

While this Agatha Christie homage kept me entertained, it was definitely a bit of a letdown. Nasty characters, odd writing, and dark humor that didn't fit. It is by no means a bad book, but a bit disappointing given the synopsis.......more

Goodreads review by Melissa (Semi-hiatus for Work) on January 15, 2020

2.5 stars This book had so much potential, it just didn't live up to it. To start off, comparing something to And Then There Were None is setting the book up for failure, because that is such a tightly plotted, brilliant book and this one just pales in comparison. I kept expecting a great twist, whic......more

“Hall slips from funny to darkly frightening with elegant ease.” Publishers Weekly

“Narrator Janina Edwards gets the listener’s heart thudding with her dramatic performance of an Agatha Christie-like thriller…Edwards maintains the listener’s rapt attention with her powerful portrayal of a woman in the middle of a nightmare. She expertly navigates this thriller and keeps the listener with her to the end.” AudioFile

“Laugh-out-loud funny one minute, bone-chilling and sinister the next, it’s a page-turning exploration of what happens when our shadow selves are allowed to run amok.” Attica Locke, author of Black Water Rising
