After the Crash by Michel BussiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
After The Crash is a quite remarkable thriller, indeed one of the best I have ever read. The plot is very cleverly constructed and very different from most in this genre. It is a compulsive page-turner.
On the night of 22nd/23rd December 1980 an Airbus 5403 flying from Istanbul to Paris crashes on the Franco-Swiss border. All the passengers and crew are killed instantly, apart from one miraculous survivor - a three-month-old baby girl. But who is she? Two families step forward to claim her - the mega-rich de Carvilles and the impoverished Vitrals. Is the baby girl Lyse-Rose or Emilie? The conundrum runs for eighteen years until the detective investigating the case makes a discovery that could change everything....
As you read this you will question everything. The shocks come fast and furious in this relentless page-turner. It is a psychological masterpiece that I really could not put down. The concluding sting in the tail is so unexpected it left me completely bemused.
Total, compelling enjoyment and I thoroughly recommend it.
