DEADFALL by Linda Fairstein is a thriller suspense novel that picks up where the last book left off in the Alexandra Cooper book series. The District Attorney had been murdered, and Alex witnessed the entire thing. Being a witness to such a horrific event has severe effects on her already fragile mental health and state of mind. Even though the investigation has just begun, Alex cannot stop herself from being involved in every part. She has the support of Mike and Mercer while they all look at different possible suspects, all of which could have wanted the DA dead.

Fairstein has a creative way of writing that incorporates parts of New York and the history of many landmarks in New York into the plot line and setting. I feel I always learn something new about the city after reading one of the books in this series. I like how the characters have developed not only throughout this series but this book as well. I feel that this book can be read as a standalone even though it is a part of a series but you may get a little confused because a lot of the characters backstories and development lead up to this book. After reading DEADFALL, I want to go back to the first book and reread the rest of the books in the Alexandra Cooper Book Series.

Fairstein makes the story feel so real and describes the settings (places) so vividly that you feel as if you are in the middle of the investigation working right beside her. I feel that this book does not disappoint any fans of this book series, but I do feel DEADFALL makes it seem as if the series may be coming to an end. I feel that this book kind of leaves you with the feeling that the end is near as you get closer to the conclusion of DEADFALL.
