About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Day of the Accident by Nuala Ellwood, read by Tara Fitzgerald.

'Gripping, poignant...I read it in one sitting' ROSAMUND LUPTON

'Brilliantly compulsive and with one hell of a twist!' CLAIRE DOUGLAS

'Makes you question everything you thought you knew' EMMA KAVANAGH

Sixty seconds after she wakes from a coma, Maggie's world is torn apart.

The police tell her that her daughter Elspeth is dead. That she drowned when the car Maggie had been driving plunged into the river. Maggie remembers nothing.

When Maggie begs to see her husband Sean, the police tell her that he has disappeared. He was last seen on the day of her daughter's funeral.

What really happened that day at the river?
Where is Maggie's husband?
And why can't she shake the suspicion that somewhere, somehow, her daughter is still alive?

For fans of Clare Mackintosh's I Let You Go and Lisa Jewell's Watching You, this gripping story will draw you in and shock you at every turn.

I very rarely write reviews, however I enjoyed this book I just couldn’t put it down. Without giving too much away the book didn’t end in the way that I’d anticipated.

Intriguing story!

The narrator made it hard to listen to. Wasn't very keen on the characters voices. It seemed laboured..

Very drawn out

I always like it when trying a new author hits pay dirt and that's precisely what I got with this one from Nuala Ellwood. She does a fine job of building a mystery with an intriguing snippet of a prologue and regular, mysterious letters from a child throughout.

For the most part it's a bit of a tug on the old heart strings and I think most parents will find it gives them food for thought, it did this one anyway! It does rely on amnesia which can be tricky to deal with but I think it does it reasonably well and without any hugely ridiculous situations manages to build a mystery and a threat. Maggie who is the lead is isolated into a hugely difficult situation and her struggles against it feel very real at times.

I found the ending extremely satisfying in a book that moved gradually up through the gears without relying on too many outlandish coincidences. The narration by Tara Fitzgerald is sympathetic and very easy on the ear.

This is an author I will watch out for in the future.

Tense, Well Paced and Engrossing!

One of the best books I have read in a long time. Slow beginning but gripping ending.

Unputdownable

I rarely write reviews but felt I needed to in order to save your credits!!! This is slow, drawn out, dull and predictable.

I hate to criticise what is someone’s hard work but this is worth side stepping.
