‘One of those books where you tell yourself you'll just read a few more pages until you realise it's gone past midnight and you might as well stay up late and finish the thing in one go… The Accident has a complex and brilliantly executed plot and I thoroughly enjoyed the author's writing style… I couldn't at all predict the ending and there were twists galore to keep me hooked until the rather satisfying conclusion.
