Praise
"[Alison Bruce] always delivers ... Her latest is tense, twisty, terrific."
Ian Rankin
"A powerful and absorbing story that stayed with me long after I'd finished reading. A writer at the top of her game."
Elly Griffiths
"Alison Bruce has long been one of the most adroit crime fiction practitioners in the UK. The Moment Before Impact is further proof that she has not ceased to refine her craft - it's perhaps her most accomplished outing yet."
Financial Times, Barry Forshaw
"Unpredictable, challenging and compelling."
Sophie Hannah
"The Moment Before Impact is the perfect crime novel. Beginning with an emotional exploration into the events that led to a fatal car crash, it seamlessly morphs into something far more chilling. One of the best books I've read for a long time - simply sensational."
M.W. Craven
"A conspiracy story with plenty of twists becomes a race-against time suspense novel that belongs firmly in the 'just one more chapter before I sleep' category."
Morning Star
"Alison Bruce has written a superior thriller, full of suppressed menace, which proves you should never trust anyone."
