July Recommended Read: Before the Fall by Noah Hawley

Written by the creator and writer of the award-winning TV series Fargo

Praise for Before the Fall

'This is one of the year's best suspense novels, a mesmerizing, surprise-jammed mystery that works purely on its own, character-driven terms...Mr. Hawley has made it very,very easy to race through his book in a state of breathless suspense.'

New York Times

'I started and finished Before the Fall in one day. That begins to tell you what kind of smart, compellingly dramatic read it is. So read it.'

James Patterson

'Before the Fall is a ravishing and riveting beauty of a thriller. It's also a deep exploration of desire, betrayal, creation, family, fate, mortality, and rebirth. It's one part Dennis Lehane, one part Dostoevsky. I was spellbound from first page to last; I haven't fully recovered yet.'

Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours

'This is the perfect summer read.'

The Times 'There are some books...that stay with you long after you've read them. The characters are so real and because of this their fates matter. Before The Fall by Noah Hawley is one of these books.'

Irish Independent

'A searingly told, multi-layered portrait of celebrity in the modern world with a tantalising mystery at its heart... Hawley's sublime prose glows on every page in this literary thriller of the highest quality, which never loses its grip.'

Daily Mail 'High-class entertainment.'
