Aviva Kagan was just a teenager when she left her Hasidic Jewish life in Brooklyn for a fling with a smiling college boy from Florida-and then disappeared. Twenty-three years later, the child she walked away from is a NYC tabloid reporter named Rebekah Roberts. And Rebekah isn't sure she wants her mother back in her life.

But when a man from the ultra-Orthodox enclave of Roseville, N.Y. contacts Rebekah about his young wife's mysterious death, she is drawn back into Aviva's world. Pessie Goldin's body was found in her bathtub, and while her parents want to believe it was an accident, her husband is certain she was murdered.

Once she starts poking around, Rebekah encounters a whole society of people who have wandered off the path of ultra-Orthodox Judaism - just like her mother. But some went with dark secrets, and rage at the insular community they left behind.

In the sequel to her Edgar Award finalist Invisible City, Julia Dahl has created a taut mystery that is both a window into a secretive culture and an exploration of the demons we inherit.

Product description

Review

"A treat...Strong, blunt prose." --The New York Times Book Review

"Bringing together the hyenas of tabloid journalism with the secretive, inwardly focused, self-protecting religious Jews, Dahl manages to demonize and humanize both, while delivering a riveting story." --The Boston Globe

"Fast-paced, suspenseful...rises above the crime novel genre in its unusual psychological, spiritual and sociological dimensions, entering a world unfamiliar to most people." --The Washington Post

"Invisible City is an absolutely crackling, unputdownable mystery told by a narrator with one big, booming voice. I loved it." --Gillian Flynn

"[An] impressive debut...Dahl's convincing dialogue and perfect pacing make for a real page-turner. And her storytelling skills illuminate the intriguing worlds of the tabloid press, Hasidism, the NYPD, and Brooklyn's 20-somethings-as well as the fragile boundaries of family, religion, and life itself." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Run You Down has an interesting plot and vivid believably flawed characters

I liked this book and the story it told. I wanted more development of the individual characters.

Not a pleasant read

Reviewed in the United States on 23 December 2017

Verified Purchase

There are two reasons for that one star. First, I read the trailer of what I thought was the next book when I finished The Invisible City, liked it, bought it and discovered that it was a completely different story. Ok, I should have paid attention, but usually the trailer is for the next book, not for one in the future. Two, and more to the point, though the background of Run You Down is sound, and events are similar to events which made the news, there is absolutely nothing positive about a community painted in the blackest color. There is barely one -possibly two - sympathetic characters in the whole book. The long lost mother is completely artificial; without going into details, the Israel episode is not credible. Towards the end the plot verges on the farcical. Altogether not a pleasant read.

I first met Rebekah Roberts in INVISIBLE CITY, and I was interested in her story and in her adventures as a journalist. While writing stories for a New York City tabloid, she becomes acquainted with an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community. Count on Julia Dahl to pen an intriguing mystery. She doesn’t disappoint.

Good Second novel - needs edited.

Reviewed in the United States on 2 July 2015

Verified Purchase

I read the first novel in this series, Invisible City, and I was greatly impressed by Dahl’s writing and the world she created on the page, not to mention her tightly woven plot.

I’m happy to say that this second novel in the series does not disappoint too much. I seemed to find more typo errors in this book than the first. A pet pev.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Invisible City was the peek into the secretive and cloistered life of the Hassidic Jew community in Brooklyn. In Run You Down, we learn even more about this lifestyle fueled by a rigid, ultra-Orthodox faith.

Dahl writes a great mystery that keeps you guessing until the end.
