Review: THE ACCIDENT by Glen Ebisch

An accident mangled a face, resulting in a need for cosmetic surgery. At the age of 35, a woman was starting off new and improved, practically perfect. But, for Karen, perfection just seemed superficial. Still, there's a void in her life, ever since the car accident that took her husband's life and kept her from returning to the line of duty. But when a friend's sister goes missing, Karen is thrust into the case to figure out what happened.

Moving into the victim's home, Karen re-traces Justine's steps in an effort to find out where she was and why she left. Could it have anything to do with her estranged husband, a man she was seeing, or a complete stranger that broke in? Soon, Karen realizes that there was more to the disappearance than she thought.

Story was quick and simple, and the mystery was wistful and compelling. Karen is a practical, sensitive character with a strong will and endearing heart. She can definitely hold her own with her kick-ass taekwondo skills. Readers will cheer her on as she navigates this mysterious case with crafty ingenuity and solemn caution while also contending with survivor's guilt and the horrors of that dreadful accident.

A well-worth read!
