Everything takes place over a few hours, or entirely set during the immediate aftermath of an automobile crash, for example?

I'd like to avoid "and it was all a dream", time travel, or similar plot devices if possible.

I'm curious what a novel of any length purposely confined to a strict time window in-story reads like.

Maybe I should be reading more plays.

Thanks.

Dan Brown novels tend to be fast paced with time constraints. Not as confined as you'd like tho.

I read his famous series. At least a few of them. They did read easy

Yeah he has a very readable style. The short chapters and the cliffhanger ends to eevry chapter woth buildimg mystery, its like reading breaking bad
