"Narrators Shahjehan Khan and Jennifer Blom excel as the stakes rise in this suspenseful thriller."—AudioFile

Roman Grady is the sole reporter for the local newspaper in a tiny Hudson Valley town—a town so small that every store opening and DUI is considered newsworthy. But when Roman's longtime girlfriend, Ashley, the mother of his four-year-old son, is found dead, he realizes he had no idea what was really going on in her life.

And when he starts asking questions, he’s not prepared for the answers.

What was Ashley doing at the cliffside home of her troubled ex-girlfriend? How did no one in a house full of people see what happened to her? And why does it seem like everyone in town suddenly has something to hide? As Roman and his mother dig into Ashley’s last few months, the truths they uncover threaten to expose painful secrets. The kind of secrets that can get you killed.

A gripping thriller and a moving portrait of a family struggling through tragedy, I Dreamed of Falling showcases Julia Dahl's talent for using crime fiction to tell an immersive and unforgettable story. Dahl’s unflinching novel asks hard questions about love, regret, inequality, and the possibilities and the perils of forgiveness.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Julia Dahl’s I Dreamed of Falling is both a riveting crime novel and an intimate and wrenching portrait of a family struggling to find its footing, and the tragedy that exposes all the desperation humming beneath. Vivid and haunting and not to be missed.”—Megan Abbott

"With this suspenseful, poignant book, Julia Dahl delivers not only an intricately crafted thriller, but also a profound portrayal of generations of life in the Hudson Valley, and of the making and unmaking of family. Its characters will stay with you for long after you’re done reading."—Clemence Michallon, internationally bestselling author of The Quiet Tenant

"Dahl’s gift for suspense will keep readers flipping pages, but in the end, it’s her finely wrought characters they’ll remember. It’s an impressive leap forward from the author’s previous, more plot-driven efforts."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Great story line, just terrible male narrator.

I’m sorry, but the male narrator of this book was too drab and monotone for my liking

Simply the best by Julia Dahl

This book keeps you wanting to listen minute by minute to discover who the real killer is!!!!
