The Accident: A heart-stopping thriller with shocking secrets that will keep you hooked by Dawn GoodwinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Months after her young daughter Grace was tragically killed in a car accident,Veronica Pullman is still struggling to come to terms with her daughter's death.
Detached from her husband Tom and alienated from her friends and family,a chance encounter on a rainy street pushes her in a unlikely new friendship with feisty,unpredictable Scarlet.
But as she approaches what would have been Grace`s 10th birthday,it becomes clear to Veronica that the friendship she thought was saving her life could be costing her everything.
Consumed by grief and left questioning her own sanity,is there anyone she can really trust or is someone out to torment her as part of their twisted game?
This gripping drama is voiced be Veronica,her husband Tom,her best friend and neighbour Felicity and also one chapter that is voiced by young Grace.Interspersed throughout the story are italicized chapters that are voiced by the person who is tormenting Veronica.Hardly anyone in this twisted tale are very likeable but that also adds a human element to their characters.Throughout the book my feelings and sympathy for Veronica changed a number of times as the story unfolded.I know I was meant to feel sympathy for her because of her grief and suffering due to the death of her daughter but I struggled at times to understand some of her actions.Then something was revealed and some of her actions and behaviour made sense.Some situations can put a lot of stress on a couple's relashionship,some couples pull together and work through things as a team while others are pushed apart.Is Veronica and Tom`s relashionship strong enough to survive once hidden secrets and the whole truth about what happened on the day of their daughter's tragic death is finally revealed.
I thoroughly enjoyed this emotional story of grief,relashionship,friendships,jealousy,mental illness,blame and forgiveness.Although I did guess quite early on in the story the truth about a couple of characters,it's didn't spoil my enjoyment of this well written,debut thriller and I would happily read more books by this author in the future.
