Review of 'The Accident' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I enjoyed Expats (Pavone's first novel) more than The Accident... the publishing industry inside baseball was well done but not really my cup of tea. the big surprise isn't really much of a surprise - and the climax felt a bit unfulfilling (I won't spoil it if you read it, but I'll be curious to see if others have a similar response.)

the writing is crisp, and Pavone does a great job keeping the pages turning. just wish the conclusion had more of a payoff.
