The Accident

By: Fiona Lowe

Narrated by: Rebecca Macauley

Freya thought she could relax when Ryan's best mate Jamie got engaged to her best friend Hannah. Two couples, four friends – what could be better than that? But a day before the wedding, Freya is torn between keeping the peace or blowing it up.

Hannah's perfect wedding is hours away and she's daydreaming of a honeymoon in Tahiti and starting the family she longs for when she hears the first-responder sirens. Is it a grass fire? Worse? And why aren't Ryan or Jamie answering their phones?

When a car veers off the road with devastating consequences, the small wheatbelt town of Garringarup is left reeling, but no one's world is more shattered than Hannah and Freya's.

As disturbing details surrounding the accident emerge and questions pile up, ugly secrets rise to the surface.

Mystery, lies and scandal – it's soon obvious nothing is as it seems in this small town...

Fiona Lowe hits it out of the park again!

The story pulled me in within minutes. Fiona Lowe novels are, to me, a bit like very high quality TV dramas. Always people to root for, sympathize with, and villains who can still be relatable. There were some twists that always kept it interesting. I’m always so happy when she comes out with a new book, and have a hard time paying myself with listening to make it last. If you’re looking for a very entertaining way to spend a credit, this is your book. Now I’m just a sad it will be at least another year before she comes out with a new one. The narrator is the same as past her few novels and she does an amazing job! It’s easy to tell which character is speaking and her male voices are seriously impressive. I’m extremely picky about narration and this one is a joy to listen to.

Disappointed

For a nearly 5 star rating, I was very disappointed. It rambled, very predictable and not much of a story line.
