The Accident: A Thriller, by Linwood Barclay

Remember the horrific crash that happened in New York in 2009? Mother killed with kids, high blood alcohol content. Weed in her system. Yet she was never seen by family or friends using either?

This book starts off with a similar incident. A mother dies in a car wreck, with an alcohol ratio in her blood that’s off the chart. And she’s almost a complete tee to totaler  While the true story quoted above never revealed a reasonable answer to the quandary, the story in this book comes to a dramatic conclusion that will leave you shaking your head in amazement.

As a mystery book, The Accident excels. We have many characters, a lot of bizarre secrets, a plethora of suspects, and a reason to care about the outcome. It even has an ending that’s not an ending. The author has two surprises for us, so don’t put that book down just yet.
