Be prepared to be kept on the edge of your seat by this genre-blending thriller, coming out in January 2025!
A chilling thriller, perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter and Lisa Gardner, exploring the dark side of police culture and family trauma.
Bree knew that life married to a beat cop would be tough, especially in the crime-infested city of East Bernheim, but she believes they will be fine living in "the Burner" even after she has their first child. Family life is manageable until one day crime follows them home, threatening their safety.
At a loss of how to keep his family safe and keep his job, Jake agrees to stretch their finances and move an hour away, to a bigger house in a somewhat better neighborhood. Their life seems to improve until Bree, heavily pregnant with their second child, begins to hear voices and suffer strange dreams. And then when tragedy strikes on the job, Jake enters a spiral of guilt and grief that degrades his grip on reality.
Bree, isolated and struggling, must protect her children from the one person she thought would always keep them safe. She and Jake are haunted in every way, and not just by whatever is lurking inside the house. A thriller that tackles toxic masculinity in police culture and trauma, Every Fall will have you on the edge of your seat. Content warnings: postpartum depression, spousal abuse, infidelity, violence, opioids, and death.
Praise
"Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Lisa Jewell, Douglas’s debut is a pulse-pounding page turner.”— Booklist
"Angela Douglas writes with verve and insight in this story about family and obsession and the things that haunt us. Thought provoking and atmospheric, Every Fall pulls back the curtain of the thin blue line while simultaneously exploring the isolation of early motherhood. Tana French meets Riley Sager in all the best ways. A winner.”

"A fast-paced psychological thriller that explores trauma, toxic police culture, and the different ways people can be haunted. A fresh, unique page-turner."
