I did anticipate that it would turn out to be a fairly good suspense story based on its description and the reputation of its publisher. The cover alone is enough to capture my interest and I was happy to find that the content inside held it until the end.<\/p>\n<p>With a tenacious heroine, Amara Alvarez, as well as a contingent of various other interesting characters, the book progresses at a steady pace, detail by detail as it builds to a satisfying conclusion. I loved the characters, each with their own vibrant personality. It was fun to observe their interactions, some of which could be quite humorous. I particularly enjoyed Dr. Pritchard, the ME. And who could resist a detective with a pet iguana? Although not exactly the male protagonist, Starsky also grabbed my attention and I would not mind if a relationship developed between him and Amara in future installments.<\/p>\n<p>The author fed his readers bits and pieces of facts slowly as what was assumed to be a monumental tragic accident became so much more. Attention to details helped me follow the different law enforcement officers as they painstakingly discovered clues to a diabolical crime. Even so I was often surprised at the twists the case took as it sometimes seemed like the team took two steps forward and one step back.<\/p>\n<p>I thoroughly enjoyed <em>Collision of Lies<\/em> and plan to be on the lookout for future novels by Tom Threadgill. Fans of suspense and police procedure novels should enjoy this one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

But it was an accident. Right?<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>\nThree years ago, a collision between a fast-moving freight train and a school bus full of kids led to devastation and grief on an unimaginable scale. But a fresh clue leads San Antonio police detective Amara Alvarez to the unlikely conclusion that one of the children may still be alive. If she&#8217;s correct, everything law enforcement believes about the accident is a lie.<\/p>\n<p>With time running out, Amara must convince others&#8211;and herself&#8211;that despite all evidence to the contrary, the boy is alive. And she will do everything in her power to bring him home.<\/p>\n<p>A fresh voice in suspense, Tom Threadgill will have you questioning everything as you fly through the pages of this enthralling story.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.bakerpublishinggroup.com\/processed\/book-resources\/files\/9780800736507.pdf?1576092889\">Read an excerpt Here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/499npSkO1t4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25223\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25223\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25223\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tom-Threadgill.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tom-Threadgill.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tom-Threadgill-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tom-Threadgill-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25223\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: \u00a9 David M.
