A review by chrissireads
Day of the Accident by Nuala Ellwood
4.0
I really enjoyed My Sister’s Bones from Nuala Ellwood, so when I found out that she was bringing out another book, I got on and requested it. I’m thrilled I got the opportunity to read it, because I thought it was a brilliant thriller, that really kept me turning the pages.
The book starts with Maggie waking up in hospital. She’s been in a coma for a few months and is understandably very confused. She finds out that her darling daughter Elspeth died in a car accident but she has absolutely no recollection of what happened. She’s determined to speak to her husband, Sean, to find out exactly what happened to her. However, he has been missing since the day of Elspeth’s funeral. Something doesn’t sit right with Maggie and she’s keen to find out what’s been going on. She can’t rely on her memory though…
This book was such a page-turner. It’s one of those highly frustrating books though where I don’t want to say too much in the review. It should be experienced for yourself. That would definitely make more of an impact. I can’t even tell you about the characters as if I did that, then that would ruin the story too. Just know that they are fascinating and some quite horrifying. It was really an unsettling read that got under my skin. It’s a story that will stay with me for a while…
