'I loved everything about this book. The main character.....wow!' FIVE STARS

'Another winner from Julia Stone' FIVE STARS

'Clever, well-written page turner' FIVE STARS

Thrown together by fate. Entwined by lies...



The police ruled it as misadventure. A young woman falling from a bridge onto Janice Thomason's car was not an act of suicide or murder, it's just an accident. But for Janice, it feels like fate has thrown them together.

As a genealogist, Janice is used to tracking down clues - is even a little obsessive, one might say... The police know so little about the Jane Doe that fell on her car that she decides to start her own investigation into the victim and the people she knew. Surely someone must be to blame?

Sometimes the only way to uncover the truth is to lie... and for Janice, living a lie comes all too easily.

Gripping and chilling, The Accident is a psychological thriller perfect for fans of Amanda Robson and Shari Lapena.

Janice becomes obsessed with finding out the truth about what happened to Sunny, the Jane Doe. The book was full of plot twists and secrets, and it was a very fast paced interesting read. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Woah!!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2023
This book was an interesting read.
The main character Janice is quirky and a little unhinged. The lies she tells throughout the book to instill herself in the lives of the people that were affected by the accident was insane. The story got a smidge boring but the ending was great! Definitely worth the read

4.0 out of 5 stars WOW!! Julia’s Book Seemed Like Something Ripped From The Headlines
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2023
WOW!! Fans of true crime and mystery will adore Julia Stone’s latest novel The Accident. It was like something you would read in your local newspaper-but with a personal spin on it. It is a quick, fast paced, addicting read with a lot of twists and turns.

Kudos to the graphic designers who created the cover graphics for The Accident. It caught my eye and I needed to learn more about this book.

Julia would like to dedicate this book in memory of Graham Dean, the original Billy Liar.

OMG can you just imagine someone falling from a bridge and hitting YOUR car as you were driving under it?! YES!!! This is what happens in this book! I would have been having a massive panic attack being that driver seeing Sunny fly through the air onto the car!!! Hence my reference to the newspaper headline!

Like Janice I was interested to know who Sunny was and what happened prior to this fateful accident. She takes the readers on the journey with her to get the answers. Along the way there are twists, turns, secrets, lies, and revelations. It made for a very interesting read.

A great read about a woman obsessed with finding out the truth following witnessing a death, with her behaviour bordering on stalking.. I couldn’t help rooting for the main character Janice, in spite of her many, many flaws. It was nail biting and excruciating read at times but totally in a good way! I was gripped from start to finish!

I was hooked by the strange and enticing main character, the lengths she went to and how I somehow ended up on her side willing her to win through the madness! I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen and read this almost in one sitting. This was a great psychological suspense. I love the way Julia stone captures the inner workings of her characters. Can't wait for her next book!

I loved this book and found it hard to put down. It is well written and insightful. Janice is a compelling and interesting character whose talents emerge gradually as her confidence builds. You can’t help but admire the way she meticulously and successfully plans her revenge and her capacity to live a lie.

Julia's 2nd book has again created thoroughly engaging characters with a great storyline.
The suspense was expertly crafted and held me guessing the outcome until the end.
Pacey and a great read.
I look forward to her next book.
