Before the Fall by
Noah Hawley is a mystery of a plane crash which leaves two survivors. As the
pieces are pieced together with flashbacks which feature each of the victims,
little clues are discovered. What brought down the plane?
The story opens with the Bateman family: David, his wife
Maggie and their children, Rachel and JJ are boarding their plane at the end of
their vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. They are joined by the flight crew, their
security team and their friends, Ben and Sarah Kipling and a local painter,
Scott. The takeoff is smooth and the
flight uneventful. Until 16 minutes into the flight, the plane disappears from
radar and crashes into the Atlantic Ocean. Scott and the Bateman’s young son,
JJ are the only survivors as Scott swims them both to shore. Soon the
investigation is underway and everyone on the plane had something to hide. With
the authorities investigating, rumors fly about what brought down the plane.
Terrorism? Revenge? Murder? All fueled by a less than scrupulous reporter, Bill
Cunningham, who not only wants the story but wants to make a name for himself
at any costs, even illegal costs. The truth behind the events of the flight
will leave everyone shocked and shaken.
Before the Fall
grasped my attention from the first chapter and I eagerly read to discover the
clues and figure out this mystery. When I read the last line, my first reaction
was “WOW!” This book is a great story which intrigues and grips your attention.
I didn’t expect the ending and I can’t talk about too much detail because it
will give too much away. This book did not disappoint and I highly recommend Before the Fall!
