Mark_Feltskog | Dec 23, 2023 |   ) cdaley | Nov 2, 2023 |  ) theBookDevourer211 | Jan 27, 2023 | Most of the characters in the story seemed to be average people caught up in situations that they were not prepared for. People living in hard times, trying to make a little extra money on the side, doing things like selling fake designer purses, cheap prescription drugs, knock-off building supplies, etc. What could go wrong? Seems innocuous enough, until people start dying all over. Some unusual accidents here, a shooting or two there, but are they connected? Hard to say. There were not real super heroes in this story, and sometimes the characters seemed to be a little dumb and annoying, but all in all an enjoyable read and hard to put down after a while.

 You're book was recommended by a friend, and he's right in saying this story is awesome. Why don't you try to join N0velStar's writing contest? The Canadian-based journalist twists and turns the plot with believability and spices it with plenty of suspects and suspense. In some places, his homework does seem a bit lacking, but the book remains consistently interesting and ready to please thriller fans with both its action and pacing. Barclay has turned in a home run with plenty of edge-of-the-seat moments. The Accident" (Bantam Books), by Linwood Barclay: A husband is forced to confront his wife's secret life in "The Accident," Linwood Barclay's best thriller to date....Barclay channels the best of Harlan Coben and Lisa Gardner in stories of families in suburbia dealing with tragic circumstances. Readers will quickly become emotionally involved with Glen and his daughter and will flip the pages of "The Accident" to figure out the puzzle. Former Toronto Star columnist Linwood Barclay has another page turner in his latest, a story of trouble and turmoil in suburbia, in this case, the town of Milford, Conn....Barclay tells a fine tale, with blackmail, murder, suspense and the murky world of counterfeit goods. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, well, you haven’t. Right to the end, there are twists and turns in the plot, and people who you thought were squeaky clean? Not so much.
