Allen Eskens is one of those writers that I know is not going to disappoint. In his quite, gentle style he can tell a story that is full of emotion, character and plot. I get drawn in every time and his books stay with me. This one did all that. Well written, great characters (enjoyed knowing Boady as an aging adult), engaging plot. All the way through I had my instincts for what was true but he still managed to keep me questioning and also give a little twist at the end.

I’ve enjoyed Allen Eskens books mostly for the intense emotions of the characters. They are very character driven. I’ve read them in order and it’s been nice to see characters from past ones show up in newer ones even as minor characters of the story. This one in particular because without a spoiler I enjoy as a quick easy read with a FABULOUS ending in more ways than one.

This was a fun read with some pretty good twists. I didn't really buy the way the cold case was handled at the end but it didn't take away too much from my overall enjoyment of the book.
3.5 if half stars were allowed but rounding up.

I am really enjoying this author. This is the second one that I have read and have struggled to put them both down. Just bought a third.

Fiat justitia, ruat Cælum: Let justice be done, though the heavens may fall
Allen Eskens, The Heavens May Fall is part police procedural and part legal drama; a book that wants for nothing.
I rooted for both Max and Boady as they are extremely likeable characters.
When I thought I had it figured out, something else came up out of left field that threw me off the trail. The ending was unexpected and definitely took me by surprise.
I look forward to reading more books by the talented, Allen Eskens.
