This book was very interesting, I was definitely motivated to read it throughout the entire book because surprises were sprinkled throughout. I did feel that the ending was disappointing, I thought the book was leading up to something different. Overall I enjoyed the read

No one saw what happened when Damon was hit by a car on a busy, rainy day. While the main cameras were down, there is some footage. There are four suspects, and one of them is his wife, and he seems to be connected to the other three as well. The police are asking questions while Damon’s fighting for his life in the ICU. What happened to all the texts? Why is no one upset he’s in the hospital?

This was a really fun domestic suspense despite being very predictable. Although this wasn’t a new concept, the book was still fun. I enjoyed that the fourth point of view was kept hidden until the end, that was a fun reveal. There was lots of suspense and I loved watching the pieces fall into place. I loved how the pieces all came together in the end. It was a lot of fun. The writing style was well done, and I enjoyed. This was a fun suspenseful and emotional read.

If you are looking for a fun domestic suspense, then I hope you check this one out June 30th.

Netgalley will be updated with more links once posted.

I have read other books by this author. I didn’t care as much for this book. Too many characters. I felt like the author rushed through this book.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the arc of The truth about the accident by Nicola Trope

Packed full of suspense and a super twisty story that will keep you guessing.

The complete package! A very suspenseful, very twisty and very mysterious story. The Truth About the Accident opens with the accident. It's quite a while however, until the injured party is identified and just how they are related to the other characters. The characters are well drawn and sympathetic and before long you are quite invested in the outcome!

Trope carefully winds and unwinds threads of the story as you begin to understand little is what it seems. If you love a domestic thriller, love a book with more than one shocking twist or just want a story to keep you up all night, The Truth About the Accident is for you!

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and Nicole trope for this arc.

I have read some of This authors other books. This one just didn’t do it for me. The characters weren’t very likable with the exception of Athena. It was easy to figure out and I saw the twist coming. The best thing was the revenge the women got at the end was great!

The Truth about the Accident is an intricate drama that focuses on the lives of four women in the aftermath of a hit-and-run. The book is written from each of these four woman: Marla the wife, Athena the mistress, Sonya the therapist and then a fourth mystery woman we don’t find out the identity of until the end of the book. All of these woman lives are affected by Damon, the man that was the victim of the hit-and-run. There is a little mystery to this, we do not know who hit Damon but overall this novel was more about the lives of these woman. This would have worked I think if any of them had been likable. Each of them were obsessed with Damon, even though it reads like he has no redeeming quality other than he is handsome. I had hoped for a bit of character growth, but the focus on the last fourth of the book turns into more of a thriller as we finally find out who ran over Damon and the identity of the fourth woman. Overall, the book kept me interested and while it was a little twist, the ending was satisfying.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the advance copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Karma has a way of making things right even if it takes a while. Damon and Marla are a beautiful, wealthy couple who look to have the perfect life online. But we all know looks can be deceiving. Marla finally had enough of putting up with Damon’s antics and their confrontation has serious consequences. A great read!

I am a fan of Nicole Trope's mystery and suspense books so I was eager to read this one. However, it was changed from being marketed as mystery/suspense to family drama and that is not what I was expecting. However, it is well written and I enjoyed the multiple points of view. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys women's fiction or family dramas. Looking forward to Trope's next book. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

The Truth about the Accident is a mystery in which, as the narrative goes on, several women have reason to hit a man in a hit and run mystery.
It becomes evident earlier on in the novel than I would have like, just what the answer is.
A fast read. I would have liked the suspense to have lasted longer.

The Truth About The Accident
By: Nicole Trope
5 🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙

This is one DELICIOUS novel about love, deception and revenge.
🚙
Damon is run over while walking across the street on a rainy night. He has a wife Marla and two teens. Damon is now in a medically induced comma as the police try to find out who hit him.
🚙
Damon is a CEO of a powerful tech company, but he has a wandering eye. We quickly learn that he is leaving a trail of broken hearts. Camera footage on that faithful rainy night is slim. The suspects could be anyone! Could it have be someone from the company? A spurned wife or loved?
🚙
Trope always delivers domestic suspense with a silver platter! She invited us in, serves us a delicious story and lets us bask in the finale.
🚙
Thank you Bookouture, Netgalley and Nicole for this advanced copy which is available June 30, 2023.

Thank you Netgalley for the book in exchange of my honest opinion.

First the things I liked:

- Different POV's (incl. a mystery character!)
- Revenge plot
- Writing style

Now what I didn't like:

- Damon ( dear god what a douche! )
- All the other characters

Let me explain why. I couldn't put myself in ANY of their shoes. The whole story I couldn't believe how stupid they all were - all that drama, all those children just because of that douchbag of a man.

I admit I read it fast - because I finally wanted to get to the twist and to finish it tbh.

I can't figure out why this feels like something I've already read or if it's just a bit predictable?! It felt really busy and a bit muddy for me. It took a while to get a good sense of who the main characters were and even longer for the many side characters. I did like it but it felt a but of a slow burn and there weren't really any twists or turns. In saying that, I did read it all the way through and wad invested enough to want to find out how it all ended and the truth. Take from that review what you will, I'm still a but on the fence about this one

Absolutely fantastic plot! Could not put the book down once I began reading it. Cannot wait for it to be released. Will recommend it to everyone I know!

Yet another book I just couldn’t put down, this one comes highly recommended by me! It was an easy read and I enjoyed the characters and story line.

I read a prepublication copy of this book; and I have discovered a new favorite author. This novel is structurally well-written; the style is highly readable; the characters are fully fleshed out; the plot is complex but suitably paced and easy to follow.

Thank you to netgalley for giving me an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I just finished reading The Truth About The Accident by Nicole Trope. It was overall a good entertaining read. I enjoyed that the story was told from the multiple perspectives of the different women in Damon’s life. I wasn’t able to to figure out who the mystery woman was, and for me it was a good surprise at the end!
The author did a good job of making the reader hate Damon, and feel sympathetic towards the women in his life who he wronged.
Overall this was a 3.5/4 star read for me. And I do agree with others who said, they wouldn’t classify this as a thriller, but more so a “family drama”.

I was so excited to read this book. I love books with multiple points of view that tell the same story. Unfortunately this one wasn’t for me. There were no twists or turns, nothing shocking happened, and I felt like each chapter I was reading the same thing over and over. Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
