Product Details

Product Description

From AudioFile

This thriller has just the right mix of suspense, intrigue, and murder, topped off with a little romance to make it sizzle. Pierce Quincy, hard-boiled FBI agent, and Rainie Conner, ex-cop turned P.I., team up to catch the perpetrator of several ingenious murders. The psychopath staged the death of Quincy's daughter Amanda, then his ex-wife, and is now going after Quincy's remaining daughter, Kimberly. Kate Burton's ingenious narration pits sweet women and tough cops against stone cold psychopathic killer. Burton keeps up the heat as she seamlessly switches from romance to murder and back again, taunting the listener with every twist of the plot while Gardner dares you to guess the killer's identity and motives before Conner and Quincy do.

From Booklist

Gardner brings back the quirky team of FBI supervisory special agent Pierce Quincy and Portland private eye Rainie Conner in a fiendishly well choreographed dance of death. The reader knows from the outset (a seduction scene ending in vehicular homicide) that someone has set out to systematically murder FBI profiler Quincy's loved ones. The question is not why, since Quincy has tracked down many killers, but who. Specifically, who would have the resources of time, money, and psychological acumen to devise and carry out such a sadistic campaign? After the first death, Quincy calls upon Conner to investigate; the plot moves to the clock of the killer's agenda. The weak points of Gardner's writing are his dialogue and characterization: Conner's overly snappy banter and her hardbitten personality are both overdone. But Gardner knows procedure, FBI behavioral science, and the details of such newly minted crimes as identity theft. Not deep but harrowing. Connie Fletcher

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Plot, Oct 25 2004
By Macayla (Bangor, Maine) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Next Accident (Hardcover)
FBI Special Agent Pierce Quincy suspects his daughter's death was not the result of drinking and driving, but foul play. He hires novice investigator Rainie Conner to look into the matter for him, which seems to open up a hornet's nest. After Pierce's ex-wife is murdered, Rainie believes that the women close to Pierce are being targeted by a psychopath intent on seeking revenge against Pierce.

This is the first book I've read by Lisa Gardner, and I am so pleased to have found a new mystery author to read. The plot was great, full of twists and turns. Great book!

4.0 out of 5 stars HE ALWAYS HURTS THE ONES YOU LOVE..., Nov 26 2007
By Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Next Accident (Mass Market Paperback)
When FBI agent and profiler Pierce Quincy 's troubled daughter, Mandy, dies in what is labeled as a DWI accident, Quincy is not buying it. He engages the services Rainie Conner, an ex-cop who is now in business as a private investigator. Pierce and Rainie are not strangers to each other, as they have been involved both professionally and personally before.

When Rainie begins her investigation, she doesn't hold out much hope that Mandy's death was anything other than what it was classified. As her investigations develops, however, it seems that Mandy's death may not have been as it was made to appear. Moreover, Quincy has started getting a series of disturbing telephone calls and has become convinced that what is happening in his present has its roots in his past. As the body count mounts, suspicion falls on Pierce, who is locked in a battle of wits with a clever and cunning psychopath hell-bent on destroying Pierce's entire family, one by one.

This is a clever and ingenious plot-driven thriller that will keep the reader turning its pages. There are numerous twists and turns in what is essentially a cat and mouse game between Quincy and his nemesis. The only problem with the book is the ending, as it is just a little too far fetched and seems to be a race to the finish. Still, the pleasure is in the journey that the book takes you. I am looking forward to reading some of the author's other books.
