Small-town lawyer Taylour Dixxon meets Sarah Cockrell Baines, a New Jersey socialite and millionairess, and their budding friendship begins with promise. However, soon after they meet, Sarah is arrested for the murder of her husband. When Taylour volunteers to defend Sarah, she has no idea that her struggling solo law practice in the sleepy, fictional, small town of Marlinsville, Texas, will be turned upside down. From a lovable, adolescent nephew who moves in with her, to a hired assassin who is determined to hide the truth, and a handsome Texas Ranger who becomes the object of affection in a love triangle between the two friends, Taylour’s life will never be the same.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid debut. Fun twists in a small Texas town
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2013

I enjoyed this debut mystery from Taylor Stonely.
Taylour Dixxon finds herself befriending a woman, Sarah, who is subsequently arrested for murdering her husband. All the sudden, she goes from friend to lawyer, and is thrust into solving the mystery of who really killed Neal Baines.

Set in the small town of Marlinsville, Tx, the hunt for the real killer begins. Teaming with Texas Ranger, Phillip Davidson, Taylour begins trying to unravel the mystery of who killed Neal. The story moves at a good clip, I enjoyed the twists and turns in the plot as the killer stalks Taylour and her family. There are some suspenseful scenes as well as some romance and comedy to break things up.

I hope the author explores some of the Lawyer/Client privilege scenarios that arose during the book. What happened to Betty? Where does Taylour go next? I'm excited to read the next installment!

This is a fun, quick read for anyone who enjoys a good mystery. Check out "The Fallen Body"!

I would love to be an attorney called Taylour Dixxon who has her own law practice (and owns real estate) in a small town! The appealing main character takes on a tough case … which has a few twists and turns in the end. I liked how her nephew moves in and works for her and of course canine characters are always a bonus. And what will happen to her and the potential love interest? I look forward to reading more about Taylour’s escapades. 4.5 stars for this debut novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars ... is not a typical genera for me I did enjoy this book
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2015

While this is not a typical genera for me I did enjoy this book. The plot had a steady pace to it that allows you to settle into it but not get too comfortable. The shifts in the plot were well placed to keep you on your toes. Character development is solid and the author goes to great lengths to describe each scene down to the sale signs in the store windows. There are a few spots where this might detract from the plot and does not have the same feel as the author's voice but overall I see it as a minor bump in the road that does not keep the author from painting a picture with his words.
This book is safe for the whole family and certainly worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not to be missed mystery with perfect Texas charm!
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2014

This was a wonderful and inviting mystery that was hard to put down. I loved the descriptive details that stirred the imagination and helped me "see" everything unfolding before me. I'm a Texas girl at heart and it made me feel like I was right back home again. Everything was spot on! I love a book that's clean and I don't have to worry about recommending it for anyone young or old. Perfect!
Don't miss taking in this cozy little mystery with Texas charm!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Debut
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2013

I just finished reading The Falling Body and found it to be very enjoyable. It was short, so there wasn't much time to devote to character development. I'm a fan of the mystery/suspense genre, but find the language and gore distasteful. This was a completely clean read, which I found refreshing. The author created suspense by giving small tidbits from each character that kept me guessing about "who" and "why". It was also short and easy to follow so didn't take lots of time or concentration. I will definitely read more in the Taylor Dixxon Series. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wish the author had made it longer and developed the characters in greater depth.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many pages skipped....
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014

I like the plot and story line, but am disappointed that Taylour's brother doesn't have a consistent name...is it Victor or Vincent? Decide.
Then a whole chapter about the dog was very uninformative...I am a dog lover and didn't understand the sidebar in the suspense novel...?
The bouncing back and forth was confusing...was Roman taking action while Taylour was on the hunt or just all of a sudden like in the middle of a chapter. Bubble to bubble to bubble....inconsistent.
Stick to the plot and story line...good stuff there.

I love mystery book. And this book is a kind of it. Even more, I really like the way the author describes and develops the characters and the circumstances, I can't guess what will happen.
It's great for the author's first novel, looking forward to his one next time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stalkers and Killers - Oh, My!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 18, 2014
Verified Purchase
Stone Patrick's The Fallen Body romps through mystery and suspense, taking the reader on an exciting visit to Marlinsville, Texas, which was a friendly quiet town until a murder in another city brought in a revenge-seeking stalker/murderer.

Local attorney Taylour Dixxon wishes sometimes that she had a prestigious law practice in a large city instead of a small town practice where she has to do so much of the work herself. Besides working at the office, the single woman must cut wood for the fireplace, take care of her horses, and do all the required home chores. She’s never had a big case – until Sarah Baines Cockrell drives up to her house and is arrested at gunpoint by local law enforcement and charged in the murder of her husband. Taylour represents Sarah and gets her out of jail.

Not everyone is happy about Sarah’s release. Taylour joins forces with Texas Ranger Philip Davidson to search for the real killer…and has to ward off not only injustice – but also love. Worse yet, her office manager Betty disappears and she is left to hire her inexperienced nephew, Spencer.

I would have liked a final answer about what happened to Betty and I found the introduction of faith early in the story but not followed through a bit confusing. However, The Fallen Body is one of a series. Those questions may have purposefully been left for the next Taylour Dixxon mystery-suspense-romance. Meanwhile, I can recommend The Fallen Body without reservation. Story well done, author Stone Patrick. I plan to catch the rest of the series!
