Well that was another outstanding read from one of my favourite authors Nicole Trope.

It was a great storyline, plenty of intense moments, twisty dialogues from characters making you wonder what the characters are hiding or not being completely honest about, certainly had me sitting on the edge of my seat in eager anticipation of what might happen next that’s for sure.

I liked how the story was told from three different character viewpoints, as always gives depth and something more to the overall story.

There was the ultimate twist come the end but it wasn’t a surprise as I had kind of guessed it was coming, not that it ruined the story for me in any way.

The whole story was thoroughly well written and kept me engaged, entertained and captivated from start to finish.

I received a free copy from Netgalley to review here is the blurb

""I gaze at my husband’s once handsome face, so still and pale in the hospital bed. The doctors say I should keep talking. He might be able to hear me even after the terrible accident that left him fighting for his life. But all I have to whisper to my husband is this: I know what you did.

Every day I wave my husband Damon off with a kiss and a smile, drive our precious children to school, and make sure our house is pristine before preparing a delicious meal. I pretend I’m not filled with fury that he once nearly destroyed our perfect life. It’s important to carry on as normal.

That is, until the accident.
My husband was hit by a car. It was pouring with rain. Nobody saw what happened. But the police are asking questions…
Do they know about the terrible argument we had that day?
Do they know about the text message I sent, telling someone to Delete everything?
And do they know that no one is happier that my husband is in a hospital bed, than me?"

I think ideally I would have given this 3.5 stars. It kept me motivated enough to keep reading till the end and I quite enjoyed it but I didn't love it. To be honest I found the character Athena just annoyed me because of how she let Damon treat her.

This was a quick and easy read. Domestic thrillers are my favorite so one about a cheating husband, sign me up! The beginning was a great. The readers got to know the characters and formulate their own predictions. The middle is when everything clicked and it was fun to see how they’re all intertwined. The ending was interesting. I didn’t like the twist but I cant really see how it could end any other way. Overall, it was a good popcorn thriller.

I found The Truth about the Accident to be a fast paced, unputdownable thriller that had me gripped with lots of unexpected twists and turns. Highly recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

Thank you to the publisher and to netgalley for an advance e-copy of this book.

This story follows three women's POVs after an accident involving a man who they are all seemingly linked to.

It is a fast read and keeps you hooked as you find out more about the women's lives on the days surrounding the accident,

There are some reveals along the way, and while not shocking, really pushed the story along and kept me interested.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read a copy of this book. Marla is married to Damon; however, Damon isn't as committed to the relationship as Marla. Damon gets hit by a car in the pouring rain and is now in a coma. The story focuses on his wife and two mistresses and trying to figure out who hit Damon. I thought this book was a bit drawn out but it was an alright read; I didn't hate reading it, I just wished it move things along a little quicker. The ending was pretty good I must say, so I can't complain there. Overall a decent read, not too complicated. I would give this book 3.5 stars but rounded up to 4.

I wanted to love this book but as much as I tried I just couldn’t. Convoluted plot and flat characters.

I have loved Nicole Trope's previous books and expected to enjoy this one too but I found it to be a very slow confusing start. It didnt really improve although the ending was a surprise. A readable story but not one of this author's best work, in my opinion.
Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC

The premise of this book drew me to start it. Three women that are somehow all connected to each other via a man. The book had lots of potential however the execution of the book was slow at times and seemed to drag on. The characters lacked development and without that, it seemed pretty boring. The ending of the book was sudden and perhaps not in a good way. I guess for dramatic purposes, the ending was what it was but it lacked the twists and turns when compared to other psychological thriller books.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC!!!!

WOW! Fast, Clever, Twisted AF and unexpected twists, I loved this book! So awesome! Quick read , fantastic pace! 4 stars

I could not get into this book at all. I wanted to love it. The premise is exciting and intriguing. I thought it was going to be like "My Husband's Secret" or "Big Little Lies" and maybe it could have been if I had not DNF'ed it. I liked the multiple POVs however I did not care about a single person in the book. None of the women really grabbed my attention and made me want to read more. Sometimes the author would put in a little bate and the end of a chapter to make you wanna come back but then I would have to drag myself through two other women.

I hate writing reviews like this because I want to enjoy all the books I get to read but this one just wasn't my jam. And maybe it could have gotten better I gave up a little under halfway but I just couldn't drag myself through any longer.

Thank you, NetGalley for letting me review "The Truth About the Accident". This review is my opinion and my opinion alone.

The Truth about the Accident is a fast-paced domestic thriller. I would recommend this book to everybody.

I found the best thing about this book was the title. It was anticipatory and I was looking forward to reading the story because of it. However, I don’t think the story lived up to the title. The story follows several women and their movements and actions regarding a certain man and lets you in eventually to the truth about the accident. The plot was a little thin and clichéd. The characters were not very likeable. A quick read. Thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for an ARC of this novel.

I love beach reads and this one is a fast, action packed thriller. This book had me turning the pages so fast to see what would happen. You will definitely enjoy all of the twists and turns. . Once again, Nicole Trope keeps me on my toes! Many thanks to the author, Bookouture and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of the book. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Really enjoyable read from Ms. Trope!
I loved the arrangement of the novel- the 999 transcripts hooked me immediately as you notice slightly differing observations by the callers.
Then you have the different POVs and timelines- two things I love in my books!
The characters... there's some horrid ones here!
The plot was fast paced, and you can happily settle in for a good read if you pick this one up!

“The Truth About the Accident” is a relatively short, but very sharp, novel about love and betrayal.

On a rainy morning, a man runs across a road in front of busy traffic. He’s struck by a car that doesn’t stop, and witness reports are contradictory. He’s in a coma, and can’t immediately be identified.

The victim will turn out to be Damon, a very successful businessman. Damon should have had no reason to be at that intersection, at that time. Why was he there? Who struck him? And was it deliberate?

It soon becomes clear that Damon was involved with multiple women. The novel is told in chapters that alternate between women: his wife, Marla. His lover, Athena. And his therapist, Sonya. These three women have very different perspectives on him, although their reactions to his accident are very similar: fear.

Telling the story from multiple perspectives works well. This both helps Trope to maintain tension, and allows her to release information gradually but naturally. It also gives the reader a clear picture of Damon, a character who is initially an unresponsive lump in a hospital bed.

Trope draws us into the lives of the three women very quickly. Each is a different person, their relationships to Damon were quite different, and they’re interesting to us in different ways. Each is very sympathetic; for example, few readers will take the part of the wife over the lover. You’re likely to feel for and want to support both.

The characters are strong, drawing both empathy and concern from readers. It was the women which kept me reading, more than finding out what happened to an eminently dislikable man. I wanted to know what role each had in the accident, and I wanted to know what was going to happen to them.

The mystery at the centre of the story is relatively straightforward, and I don’t think it would be as compelling without the involvement of characters we care about. However, it’s well told and cleverly plotted. I think the revelations at the end will surprise most readers.

My only minor bugbear with this novel was how often characters worried about something, with Trope archly avoiding mentioning exactly what they were worrying about, even when the characters were narrating in first person. This is a device I tend to find annoying at the best of times, and here I felt it was very over-used. However, it does serve to maintain a sense of mystery, and not every reader will find it annoying.

As I said, this is a relatively short novel. It’s an easy but compelling read, and may make you think about how much you trust the people in your life. Both crime and thriller readers will enjoy this, as may readers who prefer domestic drama.

This was a quick but slow who-dun-it read. There were POVs left and right…I often forgot who was who and had to make reference notes. The husband (Damon) was a hot mess and loved how the various twists as the plot developed. While there was drama, it was tolerable to read; although, the characters came across as the same person, just at different stages of life. Thankfully the ending didn't fall flat and matched the author's unique storyline. The book was decent and I would recommend.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the gifted ARC…as all opinions are my own.

There has been a hit-and-run and one man lies in a hospital bed. But while three people called 999 all three statements are different. There are no suspects so who did it and why?

Trope gives us a narrative told from multiple points of view with strong female characters and a twist I didn’t see coming.

This was a read where the tension kept building and I wanted to find out what happened next.

My first read by this author and I shall be looking out for them again.

I really enjoyed The Truth About the Accident by Nicole Trope. It was such a wild read. I devoured it in one afternoon.

I really liked the way the “truth” unfolded. Nicole Trope is a true story teller. The revealing of information was layered and kept me in a constant state of intense curiosity. It was a great psychological thriller. You know that an accident has occurred but the way it plays out to reveal what exactly happened was fabulous. I could see this as a movie with a Gone Girl feel.
