This is an interesting read. The main character is slightly odd. The ending was very good but in places it felt very boring

Enjoyed the book, although I did find the main character more than a little odd at times on her mission. Her behaviour is definitely obsessive but compelling at the same time. Good ending!

I would like to thank the author, the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of this book. I enjoyed it, it was very different and the main character was very unusual.

I really liked this book. It was very different to most books I read, which is really good. The main character was very strange, but in a good way, you are never really sure what is going on or who the baddies are. Then when you are certain where the story is going, it takes a very strange turn. I would definitely recommend this book and will be waiting to read her next book

What a character Janice is! I was either laughing or shocked by the lies/lengths she took in getting the answers to what happened. Though a bit slow paced for me, this was an enjoyable read.

This book was an interesting read.
The main character Janice is quirky and a little unhinged. The lies she tells throughout the book to instill herself in the lives of the people that were affected by the accident was insane. The story got a smidge boring but the ending was great! Definitely worth the read

The police ruled it as misadventure. A young woman falling from a bridge onto Janice Thomason's car was not an act of suicide or murder, it's just an accident. But for Janice, it feels like fate has thrown them together. As a genealogist, Janice is used to tracking down clues - is even a little obsessive, one might say... The police know so little about the Jane Doe that fell on her car that she decides to start her own investigation into the victim and the people she knew. Surely someone must be to blame. Sometimes the only way to uncover the truth is to lie... and for Janice, living a lie comes all too easily.
Janice becomes obsessed with finding out the truth about what happened to Sunny, the Jane Doe. The book was full of plot twists and secrets, and it was a very fast paced interesting read. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.

What would you do when while driving someone, a woman to be more precise, is falling down on your car, from a bridge? The woman dies while the driver is took to the hospital. The driver too, may not take any easy explanation for an answer. Plus she is a genealogist, therefore, may have some experience in terms of tracking difficult cases. This is the beginning of a long and complex story of lies and deceit.

The Accident by Julia Stone is a novel of psychological suspense, carefully built with characters with at least one hidden face. A great start for building a web of fragments of truth and as many lies. Slow paced but in an engaging kind of way, the story is taking the reader to the hidden mechanisms of lies and how they may bring us together and take over our lives, until the very last breath.

I really liked to be taken into this story, trying to figure out - guided by the book thread or just by myself - the mystery of the falling woman. The problemsolver-in-chief, Janice Thomason, is smart and relatable, able to smartly control her dark and bright sides.

Overall, a psychological suspense worth spending some hours with. The Accident is intelligent and carefully build up, a wandering through the shadows of untruth and secrets.

Thank you to the tour organiser and the publisher for sending me a copy of this book.
If you saw my story the other day, you will know that I absolutely loved this book
I started reading the book and the writing flew effortlessly and I was so absorbed in the “accident” and the events that followed afterwards
Each chapter ended on a cliffhanger for me and I just wanted to read more and more. Before I knew it was 3am and I was 3 chapters off finishing. I had to finish it.
The main character, Janice, really is a character, pardon the pun!!!
The reader is brought into just how eccentric her life was in, following the initial event
The author truly held me and I am a huge fan of her writing
This was an absolutely terrific thriller and i urge all thriller lovers to buy this book

The accident begins with just that, and accident. A body falls from a bridge onto Janice's car. Janice is then sent to the hospital but the police don't provide much information about the young woman who splattered onto her car. This peaks Janice's curiosity on who this woman was and why she did what she did. She becomes obsessed with figuring out everything about this woman but things begin to get out of hand.

I found myself intrigued as well as to who this mysterious woman was and did she kill herself or was she pushed off that bridge? I felt the ending though fell flat for me. I wanted more.

First, I want to thank Julia Stone, Orion Dash, NetGalley and Compulsive Readers for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.

WOW!! Fans of true crime and mystery will adore Julia Stone’s latest novel The Accident. It was like something you would read in your local newspaper-but with a personal spin on it. It is a quick, fast paced, addicting read with a lot of twists and turns.

Kudos to the graphic designers who created the cover graphics for The Accident. It caught my eye and I needed to learn more about this book.

Julia would like to dedicate this book in memory of Graham Dean, the original Billy Liar.

OMG can you just imagine someone falling from a bridge and hitting YOUR car as you were driving under it?! YES!!! This is what happens in this book! I would have been having a massive panic attack being that driver seeing Sunny fly through the air onto the car!!! Hence my reference to the newspaper headline!

Like Janice I was interested to know who Sunny was and what happened prior to this fateful accident. She takes the readers on the journey with her to get the answers. Along the way there are twists, turns, secrets, lies, and revelations. It made for a very interesting read.

Slow slow slow, didn’t really get going. Could have been so much better, unfortunately I cannot give 3 stars and would give 2.5 but can’t hence the 2.

Wonderful psychological thriller to get your teeth into. This one did not disappoint. I was hooked from the very beginning. I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen and read this almost in one go. There’s a strange madness that pulls you in. Very well written

This was a slow burn book and while the overall story was good I feel like it could of been fleshed our a bit more especially with the storyline idea, which was fantastic.

I honestly couldn’t read this book. The format was so bad and I found myself getting confused a lot. Maybe it was the way it was downloaded on my kindle but I deleted it and redownloaded it and I still had the same issue.

A terrible accident affects Janice Thomason who is a genealogist. A young woman lands on her car after falling from a bridge. Janice decides to investigate when the police show a lack of interest. An engrossing tale that had me occupied and enthralled, reading late into the night. Great characterisation that saw me wavering over the strange main player regularly. Well worth a look.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Orion Dash via NetGalley and this review is my unbiased opinion.

This was an interesting book—I liked the premise of it and the plot was quite intriguing. However, I did find the pace to be very slow-moving at times, making it more difficult to feel fully engaged. I do appreciate the opportunity to read this book despite it being only okay for me.

Janice Thompson is involved in a fatal accident when a young woman falls from a bridge and onto her car. Janice feels particularly connected to this young woman. After the accident, Janice uses her research skills to find out who this Jane Doe is. What happened to her? Has her family or friends reported her missing?

The concept of the story was interesting, but the pace was too slow to fully grab my attention. Also, I didn’t connect with the main character or any other characters which made it difficult to get through the book.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Unfortunately, the format was so bad that it was really difficult to read. Otherwise I would have probably enjoyed the book.
