Lisa Gardner follows up three successful suspense novels (THE PERFECT HUSBAND, THE OTHER DAUGHTER, and THE THIRD VICTIM) with THE NEXT ACCIDENT.
A twisted "mystery man" has a grudge against Special Agent Pierce Quincy of the FBI. In a plot reminiscent of Agatha Christie's TEN LITTLE INDIANS/AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, the psychopath is systematically killing those near and dear to Quincy.
Quincy employs a private investigator, Lorraine Conner, to help him stop the killing game. Quincy's two daughters, Amanda and Kimberly, are at risk, as are Quincy's father and ex-wife, as well as other innocent people.
The sociopath, whose identity is not revealed until the penultimate chapter, has a keen intelligence, and a violent streak. A specialist in psychological warfare, he is also a master of disguise.
In this fast-paced, pulse-pounding tale, the action shifts back and forth from Portland, Oregon, to Quantico, Virginia, Philadelphia, and New York City.
So many books of this kind are long on promise, but short on delivery. This one
fulfills its promise; it does not let the reader down at the end.
Well worth the read.
