I found this book both thrilling and confusing.

It is quite obvious where the idea came from and while I enjoyed the high action and clever writing, something still doesn’t sit right with me.

I do look forward to reading a second book as I think this could turn in to an unbeatable series.

An Accident in Paris is a new series that starts out with a strong first book. The concept of a conspiracy thriller around the death of Princess Diana makes the plot rather compelling. There’s been so many speculations and unknowns about this high-profile case that it offers the ideal base for a novel in this specific genre. It’s action-packed and fast-paced, very reminiscient of blockbuster spy movies. There are quite a lot of characters and subplots, which can feel a bit discruptive and digressive at times, but in the end, it all ties up together. I would advise to read this more as a piece of fiction rather than anything else, though. Good entertainement that would translate well as a film.

Clever, beautifully written and entertaining. And, what is unusual in the mass market of contemporary domestic noir/psychological thrillers, characters you actually care about. This book has a great plot and I enjoyed reading it because it was really engrossing. I liked the characterization and the plot progression and pacing was really good.

Whip Smart…
A pacy and well crafted, high octane conspiracy thriller - a work of fiction based on the true events surrounding the death of Princess Diana in Paris in 1997. Twenty five years after the event Marc Novak, private investigator, is hired to find out what exactly did happen and who, if there is a who, is responsible for her death. It’s a tremendous read, not least because of the wonderful character created in Novak himself but also the whole cast of credible and well drawn supporting characters and the whip smart, edgy narrative. Marc Novak will return- it seems - and this reader will be waiting.
