Lisa Gardner - The Next Accident

Pros: Interesting twists in the story

Cons: Predictable and some things are hard to fathom.

The Bottom Line: Overall, Gardner has written another winner. A few things could have made this an excellent book, but an Above Average novel isn't a bad thing!

Pros: Good plot twists, really keeps you guessing

Cons: Doesn't grab your attention

The Bottom Line: Slow to start, but picks up well. Keeps you turning pages.
