Review

After the Crash is a jolt to the senses and a jolt to the heart - both rollicking and labyrinthine, both wildly propulsive and yet rich with grand drama, and with a cast of characters - particularly its sumptuously powerful women - you won't forget -- Megan Abbott, author of The Fever Michel Bussi grabs your attention straight away, and keeps it, with great twists, in what is a very good translation by the English writer Sam Taylor. * EVENING STANDARD * This is one of the most compulsively readable mystery novels of the year, a great premise thrillingly explored. * MORNING STAR * Riveting! Bussi spins psychological suspense at its finest with this consuming tale of one child, two families, and the dark secrets that define us all. Clear your schedule; this book is worth it! -- Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Crash & Burn and Find Her 'A compulsive page turner.' * Maxim Jakubowski, LoveReading.co.uk * Michel Bussi's AFTER THE CRASH will keep you solidly gripped for its total duration. [The] provocative premise - and its aftermath in the present set in motion a truly compelling tale by the talented Michel Bussi, a writer who well knows exactly how to keep the reader turning page after page even when it's past time to turn out that bedside lamp. * Barry Forshaw * ...an original voice... he [Bussi] borrows elements from old-fashioned clue-puzzle mysteries to provide a breathtakingly suspenseful thriller. * Tn2 Magazine * Thriller of the Month * Good Housekeeping * A richly satisfying story...a hugely enjoyable ride. * Irish Independent * There's a great premise to this thriller, which is already a huge bestseller in the author's native France... You find yourself quite frantic to know the truth, before this cleverly constructed, smart mystery concludes by delivering a delicious sting in the tail. * Sunday Mirror * A novel so extraordinary that it reminded me of reading Stieg Larsson for the very first time. Bussi's novel brings with it the same thrill of discovering a truly original voice. It is one of the most remarkable books I've read in a long time; Bussi breaks every rule in the book, but I doubt I'll read a more brilliant crime novel this year. -- Joan Smith * Sunday Times *
