A horrible tragedy, a drunk driver, the death of a little boy, and wrongful imprisonment make for a strong plot in this thriller. The book slows down a bit in the middle but ends with a twist that is quite satisfying.

I found this a really gripping read due to the well written plot and well developed characters. Found it hard to put down. Highly recommended.

This was a quintessential psychological thriller. Unexpected twists and turns, fairly fast-paced, and a gripping ending. Highly recommend for anyone who is a fan of Hurst or this genre in general.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
What a difficult subject. I dread to think what I would do if my son were run over and killed by a drunk driver. A well-written book, suspenseful with plenty of twists and turns. A recommended read.

Absoultely amazing book!!!the twist,and turns just keep coming....love love the book :)Brilliant book one of the best ones yet !!!!!!

I should have known not to read this one based off the synopsis. It’s similar to the Netflix show with the two best friends who met a brief counselling etc. I didn’t like the show and couldn’t get into it and feel the same way here.

⭐⭐⭐.5/5🌟

I enjoyed this book but not as much as i expected!
Maybe I had high expectations for it... I don't know.
The book was a bit slow in the middle but towards the end it really catched the pace which i enjoyed reading.
The ending was really a surprise... I mean I thought it was all over but i guess not. The only character i didn't liked was the reporter Alex, although towards the end, the author tried to show a good side of him- i didn't liked him.
Anni was a tough one- she went through a lot throughout the book and i sympathise with her. On the other hand, I guess Jo too had her fair amount of troubles and challenges she had to face.
I would conclude that it was a good one time read.

I loved this book and I appreciate NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a copy to read. I for sure want to add this to my collection when it comes out!

I really enjoyed this book but it wasn't as thrilling as other books I have read recently. I feel like some parts of it fell a little flat.

The Accident by Daniel Hurst


Every mother's nightmare!
Single mother Anni is walking with her young son Tobi when he suddenly pulls away and runs off. The unthinkable happens next and Anni is left to grieve her loss.

She truly mourns and we learn who drove the car, and we are able to read the story from different points of view.
I loved the fact the story was told from different people.
I liked learning about Carl and Jo and how they thought and felt, along with Anni.
I kept reading and finished the book quickly because I needed to know what would happen next.
The author writes these books well, they are easy to read with short quick chapters that make it hard to put the book down. Just one more chapter turns into five or the entire book.
I really liked the countdown at the beginning of the book, it was a good start.

So I would recommend the book to people who like thrillers, something that is quick to read and a nice way to get into the character's heads.

4**** stars

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

This was such a good thriller! It kept me guessing and intrigued the whole time! The characters were likable and well developed. I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

This story follows single mom Anni who would do anything for her son Tobi but when Tobi is hit and killed by a drunk driver, Carl her world crumbles and is devoted to making sure Carl gets what he deserves. Eventually Anni makes a new friend named Jo, and soon discovers that Jo is connected to the accident in ways she could have never imagined.

This book has an interesting premise and it did have me hooked at the beginning, but it was a bit too slow moving for my personal taste. I feel like there was a lack of information in a lot of areas. I didn’t really find myself motivated to turn the pages because it didn’t keep me thrilled and wanting answers, as we already knew a lot of what happened from the start. This wasn’t at all a bad novel, but it isn’t one that is going to keep me thinking for awhile after.

My first read by this author, The Accident follows a single, forty-year-old mum, Anni who hates Carl for what he’s done. Carl, a drunk driver, knocked down and killed Anni's son, Tobi, age seven. Carl is jailed and as Anni tries to get on with her life she unexpectedly makes a new friend called Jo. But is Jo all that she appears to be?

Told from different viewpoints this was an enjoyable read with an unexpected twisty ending. The loss and grief displayed by Anni were well done and Daniel Hurst's writing has great depth.

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

I don't usually read scenes involving injury to children (so if that's not for you either maybe give this one a miss) but the scene -if not the aftermath -was brief and the book did pull me in.
Annis little boy Tobi runs out in the street chasing a balloon and is hit by a drunk driver.
The driver Carl goes to prison for killing Tobi.
The storyline will keep you guessing til the very end with all the twists and turns.

Dark thriller that had you hooked from the off. The book was very well written. Great plot. Very exciting. Fast paced to get your heart racing. Loved this book

Sounded like just my kind of book but unfortunately failed to deliver. It’s short and once you get over the first couple of chapters quite easy to read but the twists were fairly predictable and the characters didn’t draw me in. The plot was probably over developed by having so many points of view going into it.

Single mum Anni would do anything for her little boy, Tobi, he is the center of her world. So she is utterly devastated when Tobi is run over and killed by drunk driver, Carl.

Anni hates Carl for what he’s done and takes some comfort from the lengthy prison sentence he is serving. But she can’t live on hate and after a time spent grieving for her son, Anni returns to work and tries to move on with her life. She is lonely without Tobi and glad to make a new friend, Jo.

But Jo has a secret. She is connected to the fatal accident in a way that Anni never suspects. And Jo is determined that Anni will never discover the awful truth about what really happened that day.

As the two women grow closer, Anni begins to feel that her new friend is keeping something from her.

A terrible suspicion begins to dawn and Anni starts to dig deeper into Jo’s past. Will she discover the horrifying truth? Or will she find out just how far some people go to cover up their mistakes.

I was really intrigued with this book, the storyline is intriguing and easy to follow and the characters are likeable. It's a great physcological thriller with a great twist to the end that I didn't see coming. Highly recommend. Thank you inkubator and netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book is simply dreadful. I did not finish it. The story is not at all believable , except for the regrettable fact that a young child is killed by a drunk driver, which is sadly, all to believable. The characters are flat and the writing equally so. I just couldn’t hang around to see what happened to these people.

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley.

This is a good book but not what I was expecting. It was a slow burn in my opinion. I was expecting twists and turns but you could predict what was going to happen for the most part.

Anni is devastated when her 7 year old boy Tobi is run over by a drunk driver. Slowly she is trying to put her life together when she makes a new friend Jo at her work place, but Jo is keeping a devastating secret from Anni about what really happened on the day of the accident.

Told in short chapters with different POV’S The Accident was an enjoyable read with an unexpected twisty ending that I didn't see coming.

I would like to thank Inkubator Books & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.
