I'm not normally known for being a thriller kind of girl but After The Crash is magnetic. The plot is wonderfully convoluted and strange. There is even a fake-your-own-death trope emerging within its pages. The story leads you one way and then another. It is completely phenomenal. The sole survivor of a devastating car crash is a baby girl, but in a time when DNA testing was both experimental and costly, officials are mystified as to which of the two families vying for the child are actually blood relatives. After an arduous investigation, nothing is concluded but she is placed with the family which the authorities think is the best environment for her, but at 18 the soul searching question of who she really is comes back with a bite. An enthralling and enigmatic tale that will leave you breathless with a conclusion that is more brilliantly thought up than any other thriller I've read.
