After the Crash

By Michel Bussi

Here is the next book delivered to me by the book club. It's the first real thriller and the one I have most enjoyed, though it was a little predictable as it progressed. I remember trying to get through The girl in the Dragon Tattoo when it came out, which was the only other translated contemporary novel I've read, I really should have another crack at that sometime soon. With being so busy this month I've really struggled to find time to read, which is very annoying to me as you might imagine.

Synopsis

All the passengers 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 but is she Lyse-Rose or Emilie?
 Two decades later on the eve of her 18th birthday the detective who investigated the case makes a discovery that could change everything...
