I Dreamed of Falling

This gripping thriller plunges readers into a small-town tragedy where the local reporter, Roman Grady, becomes the central investigator in the most personal case imaginable—the mysterious death of his longtime girlfriend and mother of his child. The discovery that Ashley's life held secrets he never knew transforms a quiet Hudson Valley community into a landscape of suspicion and buried truths, forcing Roman to question everything he thought was solid ground.

Dahl masterfully builds tension not through explosive action, but through the slow, chilling unraveling of a seemingly ordinary life, proving that the most dangerous mysteries are often the ones hiding in plain sight. Readers who crave psychological depth with their crime fiction will be captivated by this haunting exploration of grief, obsession, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive, leaving a lingering unease long after the final page.
