chels82 's review for:
The Accident
by Chris Pavone
Thanks to the author and publisher for a copy of this book. Opinions are fully my own.
I really liked this one, for me it was better than The Expats. We meet Kate and Hayden again, and though Kate is a much more secondary character, we learn more about Hayden.
Isabel is a literary agent who comes to be in possession of an unauthorised autobiography, and suddenly what seems like a career maker becomes a potential life-ender. Concurrent plot lines have Isabel and editor Jeffrey on the run, Hayden working to suppress the book, and 'The Author' giving us dribs and drabs of the autobiography and some context.
The manuscript - titled 'The Accident' is a page turner, both Isabel and her assistant read it in one sitting. An expose of a media mogul, an accident in his history, and family connections to the CIA. And everyone who gets a look at the manuscript is in danger.
Again, similar to The Expats, I thought I had it figured out - and I got some of it - but Pavone still surprised me.
An improvement on the technique of suspense, though at times I did feel like I wanted just a little more info to keep me interested.
A solid 4 stars for me, and I'd read more from Chris Pavone.
