The Crash – Freida McFadden

Tegan is twenty-three, eight months pregnant and on her own. The baby’s father has made it clear he wants nothing to do with her, and she has decided to raise the child herself. Desperate to talk to her brother, she sets off on a drive through a snowstorm in Maine, but her car skids off the road and crashes in a remote area, leaving her injured and stranded in the freezing cold.

The Crash, by bestselling thriller writer Freida McFadden, begins when Tegan is rescued by Hank and Polly, a kind couple who live in an isolated house nearby. They bring her inside, tend to her injuries and offer her a warm place to stay. With the storm raging and the roads blocked, Tegan has no choice but to wait. But as the days pass, she begins to notice that something is not quite right. The phone lines are down, there is always a reason why she cannot leave or call for help, and she starts to wonder whether her rescuers are as kind as they seem.

As Tegan’s due date approaches and her fear grows, she must find a way to protect herself and her unborn child. Meanwhile, the story reveals that others have their own secrets, and that the truth about what is happening in the isolated house is more complicated than Tegan imagines.

With short chapters, mounting tension and McFadden’s trademark twists, the novel is a fast-paced, claustrophobic thriller that keeps readers guessing until the end.

The Crash will appeal to fans of psychological thrillers and domestic suspense. It contains violence, captivity, pregnancy-related peril and disturbing themes.
