I didn\u2019t choose to review Day of the <\/em>Accident<\/em> based on its description. In fact, having read the description I nearly dismissed the book. I mistrust too entangled stories. There\u2019s always a risk that the author created a head-spinning start that will not be graciously untangled in the end. That is not<\/strong> the case with Day of the Accident<\/em>. Every bit of this story about a family tragedy, a woman after coma and a missing person gets explained.<\/p>\n What drew me to the book was the provided excerpt. From the first lines I trusted the author and I knew she will tell the story well regardless of the story itself. The writing flows. There\u2019s no silly suspense that interrupts an action, there are no simplistic dialogues, no unnecessary details.<\/p>\n It is real. Her emotions are genuine and raw. In thrillers it\u2019s usually the story that grips you but in Day of the Accident<\/em> it is also the main character\u2019s voice and your wish for her to be fine.<\/p>\n I had problems with the choices some characters made. Even with all the background information it was hard to imagine a person who would behave this way in provided situations.<\/p>\n I predicted all twists long before the book was over. That\u2019s why I found some of the dialogues dragging and melodramatic. In literature characters tend to sound dumb when a story is obvious to everybody but them.<\/p>\n Day of the Accident<\/em> is way better than many other thrillers I recently read. It will be enjoyed by anybody who\u2019s looking for a gripping fast-paced story, and of course by those who value high quality narrative. I\u2019m giving the book solid four stars.<\/p>\n Day of the Accident<\/em> will be available for purchase on February 21st, 2019. I’m thanking the publishers for my copy that I received in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What I liked in the book<\/h2>\n
