Wow!! Excellent book from the series. I gave it 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. This one is by far the best book from the Wolf Lake series. It was exciting. I ❤️ all the characters in this series. I have literally pictured all the characters in this series but by far my favorite character is Sheriff Thomas Shepherd. He is a humble loving person and Sheriff. All the characters are amazing and they all love Thomas. Every character plays an important role which makes the book even more interesting but I have to say is the ending of this book is what every reader and the characters were all waiting for. It was absolutely emotional and I was sooo HAPPY for Thomas and his fiancée. Love is a beautiful thing and Honestly, I wish I had a group of friends like that in the series. I think the next book is the last one on the series. I suggest you read the entire series and trust me you’ll ❤️ it!! 😘🥰❤️💋

I just finished an advanced copy of See Her Fall, the latest Sheriff Thomas Shepherd novel by Dan Padavona. I have followed this series from way back and the character evolution is excellent. Thomas is the Sheriff of Wolf Lake, New York, a small village where many bad things seem to happen. Thomas has autism and had to work extra hard in his life and career, becoming a beloved Sheriff who is about to be married to his long-time sweetheart. But will that happen? An apparent suicide by fall into the river, or is it what it seems? And add to that a young girl nearly beaten to death in an illegal fight club, not to mention the Sheriff's office being flooded by a burst pipe. All seems stacked against the wedding taking place. What follows is a wild fast paced novel where an elusive killer is pursued by the team, but which of the several suspects will emerge? Will it be too late, will others die? You will need to read the book, and this is my unbiased review; I am a big fan of this author. Enjoy.

FINALLY!!! Teehee!!! Thomas Shepherd fans know what this means. Amongst finalizing the wedding, chaos is whirling around. Murder or suicide, fight club and burst pipes Thomas is becoming overwhelmed, then the unthinkable happens. (You have to read to know what I'm talking about.) I've been reading about Thomas for years and I love the evolution of all the characters. In my opinion Dan Padavona does a great job of juggling suspense, mystery and private lives and keeping things growing. I highly recommend. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader's copy.

A definite must read book and series!!

This story was a complex mixture of heartbreaking tragedies, emotional turmoil, secrets, lies, and betrayals. There were a few close calls, an overwhelming sense of love and loyalty, as well as an event that everyone has been waiting for! Woohoo! Although it may not have been "perfect" like some expected, it was certainly a representation of this amazing couple. It's definitely a must read book and series!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and exceptional author.

One of my favorite authors ever !

Dan Padavona never leave you disappointed ! There is never a dull moment, and his characters are amazing. This was no exception. Couldn’t put it down and I absolutely can’t wait to read the next one! I really enjoy how the two book series intertwine with each other . I highly recommend checking out all of his work. The most lovable characters and always so much suspense. !

See Her Fall (Thomas Shepherd Crime Thriller Book 11) Dan Padavona

All these books are wonderful. Thomas and team must find out the reason a women fell over a cliff, was it suicide or murder. This leads to a very intriguing investigation. Scott finds a friend that is over head in danger and she wants to know the reason! The stories both come to an end and for me it was satisfying.

Special, as always

This series has never been about the mystery, it has always been about family. About respect. About helping. Maybe not in a normal blood Family but in the community of working together, helping each other and leaning on each other.

people, some people, just can’t see beyond themselves

A distraught woman disappears after a public row with her husband; the wedding is fast approaching as the Sheriff’s office suffers a catastrophic plumbing catastrophe and while investigating woman’s husband, Thomas is shot….

Action Packed

This book read like a good action movie. Cold blooded murders, an attempted murder, car wrecks, a bomb explosion, throw in a freight train for good measure and you got yourself a helluva good book!

[Diane Griffin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent

This was a fantastic story in a great series! They are all good but , I believe, Mr. Padavona outdid himself on this one! Great job! Looking forward to the next adventure!

Another great read!

This story goes on and on with what seem like real people living the best lives they can. I've enjoyed the series, and will continue to keep up to date on what's happening in their hometown..

I love Thomas Shepherd storys

I enjoyed this book most of all and actually shed a few tears. The storytelling was right on and was definitely worth the time to read. I think there is only one more Thomas Shepherd book, and I am anxious to get started.

Phenomenal!

Another fantastic book by one of the all time great authors. Dan Padavona has a way of writing that can immerse the reader in the story. This series will have toy burning through the pages.

[Scherrie Manes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Book

They finely tie the knot, but not before a roller-coaster ride of nail-biting twists and turns. The Thomas Shepherd series will keep you entertained and in suspense for days.

[Vicki Gilbertson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow so many things going on at once. Never-ending of who's messing up their marriage and not caring who's hurt.

Thankfully we had a busted up and bruised wedding 💑
Great book
