Publisher's Summary
Kids can be so cruel.
They'll call you names.
Hurt your feelings.
Push you to your death.
In the garden of an abandoned house, Luke Connolly lies broken, dead. The night before, he and his friends partied inside. Nobody fought, everybody else went home safely. And yet, Luke was raped and pushed to his death. His alleged attacker is now in custody.
DCI Tom Reynolds is receiving the biggest promotion of his career when a colleague asks him to look at the Connolly case, believing it's not as cut and dried as local investigators have made out. And as Tom begins to examine the world Connolly and his upper class friends inhabited, the privilege and protection afforded to them, he too realises something.
In this place, people cover up for each other. Even when it comes to murder.

Jo Spain +Aoife McMahon = sublime storytelling!
i am completely addicted to this series. Firstly, i love everything Jo Spain writes. Aside from the characters and great stories, she always has a strong social justice angle and the books always say something about the culture. And then there is Aoife who does something magic with these books. Her range is incredible, and i love the mix of Dublin and Kerry accents. Most amazing is the quite seductive Tom Reynolds. It's notoriously difficult for female readers to pull off credible male characters and vice versa. Often they're just passable -- but honestly, i am completely swept away by Tom :)

Wonderful narration
I am quickly working my through the audio books in this series. The narrator - Aoife McMahon - is wonderful and adds an extra element to my enjoyment of what is a rollicking good police procedural. This was no exception. The Boy Who Fell was easy to read / listen to, engaging with an intriguing plot and nice twisty ending. I also appreciate the ongoing character development and the team work approach Jo Spain takes - as opposed to the often represented 'lone wolf' trope in the genre.

Excellent story telling. Gripping.
Jo Spain keeps bringing her excellent story telling and gripping new mysteries with the backdrop of the developing stories of the Detectives and their lives. The ending was a plot twist. The excellent narrator has ruined me for others !!

Great story
Jo Spain Ahmad a way of writing and I enjoyed the latest instalment in this series. Aoife McMahon as usual narrates it brilliantly.

Brilliant! The best in the series so far.
I have really grown to love the DCI Tom Reynolds series. While I didn't enjoy the previous book in the series (The Darkest Place) as much as the first three, The Boy Who Fell has more than restored my addiction. Intriguing, puzzling, and rich with believable characters - I can't wait to listen to the next book.
Aoife Mcmahon's narration is superb.
