IT STARTS WITH ONE PATIENT
A woman is dying in an Italian hospital, coughing up blood, convulsing and barely conscious.
BEFORE IT SPREADS TO THE TOWN 
Dr Alana Vaughn, an expert from NATO, confirms everyone’s worst fears: the woman has the highly infectious disease that swept through Europe eight hundred years ago. The Black Death.
AND TAKES THE CITY
The sickness is spreading so quickly that soon the outbreak becomes a global pandemic. Markets crash and governments fall as quickly as the citizens they govern.  
THEN THE COUNTRY
As panic takes hold and the death toll climbs, the consequences become horrifically clear – Alana must discover a way to stop the disease or it will be the end of us all.
THEN THE WORLD – AND WE ALL FALL DOWN

At the height of an epidemic, what kind of person will you become? Think Contagion meets The Da Vinci Code in the next heart-stopping thriller from the internationally bestselling author Daniel Kalla.

My Review:

We All Fall Down is an incredibly fast paced thriller that is impossible to put down. The idea of something as horrific as the black death coming back is a truly scary thought and one that makes for fascinating reading. I remember watching a program that says the black death has been discovered again so this added an extra element to the story as it made it very real.

The story is told from two points of view. One follows Alana as she tries to treat and stop the spread of the black death in modern day Italy. The other takes the reader back to 1348 and the huge outbreak then. I found this very interesting especially as it highlighted the difference between lifestyles of the people and treatments that were available for the victims.

I really enjoyed this book and found it incredibly thrilling which made it very hard to put down. There is lots going on between the two timelines to keep the reader interested and the eerie mystery of the monastery kept me firmly involved in the story. I had lots of guesses about what was going on but I was wrong about most of them which added to my enjoyment of the book.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Harriet Collins from Simon and Schuster for my copy of this book. If you like historical thrillers you’ll love this book!
