The Accident

The Accident, Linwood Barclay, 2011, Bantam Books, Genre: Suspense. 386 pages. Finished 1/25/14.

LesOpinion: A beloved wife and mother causes her own death in a drunk driving accident, taking two other motorists out with her. Her husband spends the next few months flailing around in his grief and disbelief, bumping up against the seamy underbelly (is there any other kind?) of his suburban Connecticut community.

This delicious domestic thriller by an adept writer restores my faith that good writers get published, too. Twists, turns, heartbreak. Wish there were more Barclay on the shelf.
