The Accident by Linwood Barclay
5.0
Barclay does it again; a thrilling novel, with believable plotlines and characters that live normal lives! It does not hurt that he is Canadian and makes me proud to have such talent hailing from THE GREAT WHITE NORTH.
In this tale, a seemingly stupid DUI accident that kills the main character's wife turns into something much more complex and sinister. A few women in town either die or begin acting in a very strange fashion and nothing adds up. Fire breaking out a one job site and the murder of a family friend the same night she was seen acting oddly makes for a thrilling Barclay novel that twists more than you can count.
The plot and progression are realising, no black ops or space aliens here, and the diaslogue is not only realistic, it makes total sense. No 'shucks darn' when someone hits you, and people speak their minds (but also in a way I would expect them to).
I would highly recommend this book to anyone in the market for a great novel with a whodunit that leaves you wondering thrtoughout. Hell, even into the epilogue some things arte left unanswered.
Kudos Mr. Barclay. Keep dazzling us!
