THE ACCIDENT

Glen Garber is a good guy who is having a very rough time. The economic situation has definitely taken a toll on his construction business. Then, his wife dies in a terrible car accident. Soon, it is determined that she was very drunk and that she was responsible for the deaths of two people. Glen finds this so out of character for Sheila and he can't help but be angry with her. He also learns that Sheila was mixed up in a very dangerous business arrangement that may end up ruining Glen and his business, not to mention putting his daughter in harm's way.

I was drawn into this book right away. Glen is a very nice guy who is understandably confused and angry. He starts putting together the pieces of the others involved in the scheme. I did have some problems with the ending. I don't mind being surprised by the killer but I really felt there weren't any clues at all. Plus, there was a medical inconsistency that really bothered me. As usual, though, Linwood Barclay's thrillers are quite a ride.

Rating - B+ (would have been an A, except for a serious medical error!)
