'Now this is my kind of thriller! The twists were jaw dropping . . . had me flying through the pages . . . A must read' ? ? ? ? ? reader review

Nine skaters. One ice-cold killer.

When Libby receives an invitation to train with an elite group of figure skaters, deep in the Bavarian Forest, it seems almost too good to be true.

Masterminded by the reclusive Lukas Wolff, a man notorious for his controversial methods, the skaters will be competing to learn the most dangerous move in history. The last one standing is promised fame and fortune, but at what cost?

When one of the skaters dies in mysterious circumstances, the trainees start to question Lukas's motives. And with a blizzard raging and communications down, they are completely cut off from the outside world.

As the body count keeps climbing, the group find themselves ensnared in a murderous game of survival of the fittest - and the only way to win is to unmask the killer in their midst.

Reviews for First to Fall: A chilling psychological thriller with a twist that will leave you breathless

Pattison is a great writer, Libby a brave and brilliant character, and it turns out that reading about tricky skating moves is more fun that I'd anticipated. Throw in a corker of an escape down an icy river and you've got yourself a winner -- OBSERVER
