How the Mighty Fall by EJ Chadwell is a thriller of mammoth proportions. Connie Ross, powerful media mogul, has disappeared. She was last seen on her yacht at a party, but didn’t get off when the yacht docked. Now it’s down to missing persons’ officer Gigi Mirabella and homicide detective Harry Burns to uncover the truth, paired together by Chief of Detectives, Jimmy Frail. An unlikely pair, the detectives set out to prove that Connie was murdered, but without a body that might prove difficult. Their investigation leads them down a dark path, one that is full of twisted secrets. Secrets that someone didn’t want anyone to find out about. Secrets that will make the mighty fall.

How the Mighty Fall by EJ Chadwell is a first class detective story, absolutely chock full of exciting twists and turns. It is a well crafted tale that grabs reader attention right from the outset, written in an easy to understand style. The characters are well developed and the two detectives, although complete opposites, are written to draw a reader in, which they do. There is a vein of humor that runs through the story, giving it a bit of a lift and engaging the reader even further. The ending is a complete surprise. I certainly never thought of it and I guess that is the mark of a good writer – keep them guessing and then throw them a real curve ball! Excellent story, plenty of action and a great plot. Looking forward to reading more from this author, preferably with the same detective duo!
