About this eBook

A pretty little town

An inheritance

A break-in

A body


Edie Doyle may be new in town, but she’s about to uncover long-held secrets. Secrets someone will do anything to protect.


When her Great Aunt Jane dies, Edie inherits her house—and a load of trouble. The frozen corpse is just the beginning.


Can she trust her binocular-wielding neighbour, or the handsome pub owner? And what about the motives of a dead woman? Jane abandoned her when she was a child. Why make Edie her heir now?


As the threats get personal and the danger grows, Edie discovers that someone wants her gone—by any means necessary.


But she has secrets of her own, and she won’t leave until she’s ready.


Delving into the past is always dangerous. This time, it could be deadly.



Too Far to Fall was long listed for the Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger Award, and shortlisted for the Crime Writers of Canada's Unhanged Arthur Ellis Award. 


It is the first book in the Edie Doyle Mystery series—for fans of small town cozies and golden age mysteries.

A very descriptive and a well written/ edited novel. A unique plot which gives it its high rating. However, it was boring- a mystery with little, if any, climaxes... until the absolute, very end. No character growth, and limited settings. Definitely a s l o w read, I would use to fall asleep to before bed.

The story has a lot to unpack, including one too many conflicts with an unfortunately dragged resolution (or lack thereof) that failed its potential to be a build-up into an actually amusing ending.

Thoroughly enjoyable, with well-rounded characters and a satisfyingly unexpected ending that leaves just enough loose ends to be believable without being annoyingly open-ended.
