Book Review: Riveting!
Summary: 5 Stars

Raine Conner is shocked when, after hearing her doorbell ring, she peers into her viewer camera to see none other than FBI Special Agent Pierce Quincy. What "SupSpAg" Quincy, ex lover, and witness to a rough time in her life, wants, she can't begin to imagine. She is shocked when he reveals that he wants to look into his daughter's accident, an accident that eventually lead to her death. It's been over a year since Mandy's car accident, and Quincy has reason to believe that there was more to the accident than just a case of Mandy indulging in too much to drink once again. Raine thinks that Quincy might once again be playing the white knight for her, and is hesitant to accept his offer of a case. After all, she's just gotten her investigating license, and it seems almost too good to be true that an actually paying customer could already be on her doorstep. And she just doesn't know if she can work with Quincy. She'd trusted him once...

Special Agent Pierce Quincy knows there was more to his daughters' accident that what was concluded. He knew that she'd had a drinking problem, but she'd been attending AA, and her best friend claimed that she'd had nothing to drink that night. So where did the alcohol come from? And what about this guy that her friends claimed that she'd been seeing? Why hadn't he shown up for the funeral, or even to visit her in all the time she was in hospital? It just didn't seem right to him, but he didn't want his superiors to get the message that he was just one more father unable to let go. So, even though they had a lot of baggage that remained unclaimed between them, he feels the answer is to hire Raine and have her investigate.

As Raine begins to investigate, she realizes that there is definitely more to be known that what they'd thought. And when Piece's ex wife is found dead, with all fingers pointing to him as a suspect, the story begins to unravel. Raine and Pierce both find that they definitely care about one another, but that there had been so many other thing's going on in their life, they were unable to see one another.

Ms. Gardner pens a wondrous, on the edge of your seat thriller with The Next Accident. The excitement doesn't let up, and she keeps you guessing from page to page. It was great to see two such wounded people as Raine and Pierce, and Piece's remaining daughter, find each other, and working to build relationships from the ashes of what once was. An incredibly gripping read. Don't miss this one!

Summary of The Next Accident

New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner is at the top of her form as she takes us on a desperate manhunt for a killer who preys upon his victims? minds?just before he claims their lives.

What do you do when a killer targets the people you love the most? When he knows how to make them vulnerable? When he knows the same about you?

These are the questions that haunt FBI Special Agent Pierce Quincy. The police say his daughter?s death was an accident. Quincy will risk everything to learn the truth?and there?s only one person willing to help. Ex-cop Rainie Connor had once been paired professionally?and personally?with the brilliant FBI profiler. He helped her through the darkest days of her life.

Now it?s time for Rainie to return the favor. But this killer is like none these two hard-boiled pros have ever encountered. This twisted psychopath has an insatiable hunger for revenge...and for fear. As the clock ticks down to one unspeakably intimate act of vengeance, the only way Rainie can unmask this killer is to step directly in his murderous path. She will become a murder waiting to happen. She will be...the next accident.
