Linwood Barclay- The Accident 3 Stars
Glen Garber’s wife Sheila just died in a
car accident. The circumstances seem odd as he doesn’t ever remember her driving
drunk before, and now his daughter must continue going to a school where they
all know her mother killed two of their fellow students. As Garber digs into
the mess he discovers that all may not be as it seems in his peaceful neighbourhood.
Friends may not be who they claim to be and this information may just put his
family into further danger.
The Accident starts off a little slow for
my liking, and takes way too long to get intriguing. I felt that it was just
interesting enough for me to keep reading, but when it did pick up it got
pretty intense. The plot was decent, with many great twists and turns and an
ending you will never see coming. That being said, I felt that there was one
too many twists and the plausibility was not always there. Garber seems to be
going around in circles and stumbling upon answers/dead people. Too many
characters were backstabbing fiends, which kind of hurt what otherwise would
have been great characterization. Overall it was an okay one time read; I would
not pick it up and read it again.
