This week for the Fiction Friday feature, I am reviewing the suspense mystery novel, Night Fall by Nancy Mehl. This book was published in March 2021 by Baker Publishing Group and has a page count of 336 pages. The audiobook is read by Vanessa Daniels and is 9 hours & 25 minutes in length. The following overview is provided from the B&N page: Now that Alexandra “Alex” Donovan is finally free of her troubled upbringing, she’s able to live out her childhood dream of working for the FBI. But soon after she becomes a member of the FBI’s elite Behavior Analysis Unit, authorities in Kansas and Missouri contact them about bodies found on freight trains traveling across the country all killed in the same way. Alex never expected to be forced to confront her past in this new job, but she immediately recognizes the graffiti messages the killer is leaving on the train cars. When the BAU sends her to gather information about the messages from her aunt in Wichita, Kansas, Alex is haunted by the struggles she thought she’d left behind forever. In a race against time to solve the case while battling her own weaknesses, Alex must face how far she’ll go—and what she’s willing to risk—to put a stop to the Train Killer.
I liked this book. I loved the story; it kept me on the edge of my seat. I did take issue with the story in relation to Alex’s childhood trauma and returning to organized religion. Just from my own personal experience and those close to me, when you have religious trauma the idea of going back to any sort of organized religion is never a thought. Outside of that part of the story, I liked the rest and would read it again. If you like mysteries I recommend this book.
I give this novel 4 out of 5 stars.
Tomorrow for the Missing Person Saturday feature, I am highlighting the missing person’s case of Taquila Sherell Hayes. Next week for the Fiction Friday feature, I am reviewing the domestic fiction novel, I NOT David by Kameo Monson. Until then keep reading on; Nerd out!
