The Night of the Crash: A gripping thriller with an ending that will by Jessica Irena Smith

4.2/5

Jessica Irena Smith's debut thriller, published by Headline in October 2024, centres on Steppy Corner — host of the hit true crime podcast *All the Dark Corners* — who wakes in a Colorado hospital with no memory of why she was racing up a mountainside toward the estranged family she left behind in Heartsick. The novel has drawn enthusiastic reader responses for its tightly plotted structure, emotionally weighted family secrets, and a climactic twist that has repeatedly caught readers off-guard.
