After the Crash (Bussi) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
A novel so extraordinary that it reminded me of reading Stieg Larsson for the very first time...I doubt I'll read a more brilliant crime novel this year.
Sunday Times (UK)


You find yourself quite frantic to know the truth, before this cleverly constructed, smart mystery concludes by delivering a delicious sting in the tail.
Sunday Express (UK)


A richly satisfying story...a hugely enjoyable ride.
Irish Independent


[A]n insightful thriller. A three-month-old girl...is the sole survivor of a 1980 airline crash..., and the primitive DNA testing of the time can’t provide an [identity].... This fascinating tale of intrigue and murder delves into complicated family bonds as it builds to a surprising and shocking conclusion.

When he's not working as a geography professor at the University of Rouen, Bussi is one of France's best-known crime writers. But he really hit the jackpot with this book, which was on the best sellers list in France for two years.
Library Journal


[A]n intriguing premise, but many things about his narrative will frustrate readers, including DNA test results that no one bothers to read, and when people do, they keep the results secret.... Lots of initial promise, but the plot proves improbable and the execution melodramatic.
