A Collision of Lies - Tom Threadgill

This is the first novel by Tom Threadgill which I've read and he's a definite 'must read' author for me now!

Collision of Lies is a fantastic read, completely engrossing and genuinely page-turning!  

Three years before the story's start, there is a tragic accident between a school bus and a train, causing tearing grief throughout a community.  But then a message is received from one of the children long thought dead...  and Detective Amara Alvarez must find out if everything about the accident was really as it seemed.  And if any of the children are really still alive, where are they and why have they been taken?

This is a true suspense novel, fast-paced, gritty, and with several 'hold your breath' moments.

If you like your mysteries a bit darker and tenser than the 'cosy mystery' kind, then this is for you!
