BLOG TOUR,BOOK REVIEW - After The Accident by Kerry Wilkinson



Galanikos, a paradise Mediterranean island that was the setting for a mysterious fatal incident nine years previously.

Two families whos outer personas of jovial tourists conceal inner feelings of distain, jealousy and greed.

Tension bubbles below the searing hot sun,accusations,mistrust and lies mix together to produce a toxic cocktail of unease and suspicion.

And then another incident occurs

This outstanding,brilliant mystery is voiced by a multitude of vivid characters and written in the form of interviews with a journalist or the police. The main character was a women called Emma,someone who was treated like an outsider by the rest of the holiday makers because of a event in her past. Nothing she said or did was right and she was constantly being judged,criticised and accused of lying. I felt a lot of empathy for her because I know what it feels like to be the black sheep of the family and made to feel like you are always in the wrong. I felt a close connection with her and believed that her version of events was the truth. That was until I got to the end of the book and read something that took everything I thought I knew, rolled it up into a ball and chucked it into the bin. I was left in a state of utter confusion and with no idea who was guilty of what and who was telling the truth,I honestly didnt have a clue. I do know that the only truly trustworthy characters were Emma's brother Julius's two small daughter's Chloe and Amy,the rest of them were not very likeable or trustworthy especially horrible Daniel,his wife Liz and Julius.If I had a penny for every time they denied something or discredited something that Emma had said, I would be a millionaire.

This brilliant book is actually the account of a true life crime and has been constructed using transcripts of interviews with the people who were on the island at the same time as both incidents occurred. It is a utterly compelling story that had me hooked in from the first page, I honestly didn't want to put this mesmerising mystery down. I love Kerry Wilkinson's books, he is a very talented author and I think he has excelled himself with this one. I honestly think it's his best book to date. Bloody brilliant,worth far more than five stars and very very highly recommended
