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.

    The heroes by Joe Abercrombie is about a 3 day long battle.

      Should I read the first four books to catch up to those events?

        It can definitely be read standalone and was written to be standalone, but the other books are also fantastic and absolutely worth reading.
