A desperate manhunt ensues for a killer who preys upon his victims’ minds — just before he claims their lives — in this blockbuster novel from number one best-selling author Lisa Gardner.

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.

He wants to play games...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 16, 2023

Amanda Quincy was a recovering alcoholic, attending AA. So what is she doing drunk, behind the wheel of a car on a winding road, going too fast, not wearing a seatbelt. And who is the man in the passenger seat, urging her to go faster as he grips the steering wheel. That begins the cat and mouse game of someone with a grudge against Pierce Quincy, FBI profiler. Amanda is his daughter. Who is trying to get inside the head of Pierce Quincy. The list of suspects seems to grow by two every time one is removed. Lorraine "Rainie" Connor is back with a PI license and a desire to help Pierce Quincy, as well as a desire for him.
Lisa Gardner does it again. I couldn't flip the pages fast enough.

Can't Put it Down

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2022

Took a while to really get started but now that it has...I can't stop reading - yet I don't want it to end! This is "old school writing". It's not by accident (no pun intended) that this is an "older" release from the early 2000's. I'm an avid reader but, recently, I've found that I cannot find interesting books or writers (or their characters) that I wish to follow. Consequently, I've gone to the early writings that I might have missed from my "go to" authors. Glad that I did...this one is not disappointing...thoroughly enjoying the read.

Chilling Suspense with a Devious Psycopath!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2001

Verified Purchase

This book scared the living daylights out of me. Not because it was full of graphic violence or gory scenes. It's the chilling suspense that just steadily creeps at you until you have to put it down and take a deep breath. Lisa Gardner has truly outdone herself in The Next Accident.
The two lead characters from The Third Victim are brought back and we see how much and how little their relationship has developed. Pierce Quincy is still a special agent for the FBI and Rainie Conner is getting her life back together and opening up her own private investigating office. Quincy is confronted with a family tragedy when his oldest daughter who had seemly conquered a drinking problem is involved in a terrible accident that leaves her brain dead. When Quincy's ex-wife, Bethie agrees to take their daughter Amanda off life support you would think they would be able to get on with their lives. But for some reason Quincy can't believe the wreck was an accident. He goes to Rainie and hires her to investigate and perhaps open the door to continue their relationship.
As Rainie begins to dig into the circumstances surrounding Amanda's wreck, she begins to unravel little details that don't make sense. Then Quincy begins to receive hundred of terrorizing calls from men that he has either put away in prison or from those who just plain hate the FBI. Someone has given out his personal phone number and address. In fact, someone is methodically assuming his identity and destroying his creditability. The killer is cunning and brilliant. He finds out everything about Quincy's life and those who are important to him. Then he selects his next victim. He stalks his victims learning every detail about their lives. He becomes whatever it is they desire. Unfortunately, what they desire often leads to death with the blame being laid at Quincy's feet.
This is one nerve-racking book. The story line just flows, the suspense just keeps on building, and the characters are dynamic with well round emotions. If you love suspense, don't mind being scared, then this book should be right up your alley. I have to say, I love suspense and can usually figure out who the bad guys are by the middle of the book. Not this time. Ms. Gardner has written a fascinating tale of chilling suspense that had me guessing the entire time.

Lisa Gardner - The Next Accident

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 20, 2010

Verified Purchase

It's a hot day in Portland and Lorraine 'Rainie' Conner has left behind her trouble past and set up camp in a new city with her new job as a Private Investigator. Unfortunately business isn't particularly booming, so it's a pleasant surprise when FBI Agent, and old flame, Pierce Quincy turns up on her doorstep. However Quincy brings bad news; his daughter Amanda has died in a car crash while driving drunk, but Quincy is suspicious that his daughter's death was not as accidental as it may seem, and he wants Rainie on the case to uncover the truth. What follows is a pretty fast paced tale of a bitter killer who is targetting all of those whom Pierce Quincy holds close to his heart. With family members going missing and time running out we follow as Rainie runs against the clock to hunt down the psycopath.

Unfortunately, this isn't Gardner's best. After a rocky start to this series with ' The Perfect Husband ' I was dubious as to whether or not to continue, however I was blown away by the second ' The Third Victim ' and it left me really looking forward to reading this one. However she seems to have gone back to her old ways; There's just too much schmultzy unimportant romances and just not enough character progression for my taste. It starts of well and gets off to a flying pace but unfortunately begins to tumble down hill, I feel the main problem was that there were just too many characters and ideas that were not portrayed well enough or described in-depth enough that left the waters of the plot well and truly muddied. I can only hope that Gardner is back on track with the next book in the series The Killing Hour .

Overall review of FBI profiler series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

If you like novels that come in a series, Gardner won’t disappoint. Of the two Quincys, I preferred Pierce; I felt he had more depth and life experience to him. His dark silences, a product of his childhood and horrifying work probing sick minds, not surprisingly make relationships difficult. His dealings with his estranged wife, the long silences between him and Kimberley, and the evolution of his relationship with Rainie are all elements easy to empathise with and give him a depth of character that Kimberley’s novels are missing.

As ever with Gardner, her psychopaths will draw you in and her novels are page-turners. Never afraid to have the killer close to home, whether in law enforcement or murdering family members, Gardner plumbs the depths of humanity and, yet, we keep reading.

Do I have a favourite novel? Probably The Next Accident because it merges Quincy’s family and profiling job right on his own door step. Say Goodbye is a very strong novel in terms of showing how children, abused physically, verbally and emotionally by their abductor, become dehumanised by their treatment. And The Next Accident shows how a community – and individual families – are torn apart by that all-too familiar phenomenon, the school shooting. Suspicion doesn’t have to be rooted in fact to do its job, it just needs to be persistent.

Overall, I’d have preferred more novels featuring Quincy and Rainie, with occasional input from Kimberley, as there was definitely more room for character development there. Despite the traumas in Kimberley’s back story, she never became more than one-dimensional for me. Preferred the oldies!

Three and a half stars

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

A fast read with well defined characters and a rapidly moving storyline. There was a lot of reference to the previous book in the series and it may be helpful to read it first - though not absolutely necessary as I enjoyed this without having done so. (However, this book is definitely a spoiler for the one before, which I probably wouldn't bother with now.)

Some of it was, perhaps, a little contrived and I did guess whodunnit, but a good enough yarn with interesting enough characters for this not to matter a great deal. Three and a half stars.

I really enjoyed this book the third in the FBI Profiler series by Lisa Gardner. The relationship between Quincy and Rainie is progressing with each book and I am hoping for a happy ever after but with such a complex couple I doubt it will happen. The story line in this book was again gripping and I had no idea who the killer was even though I was trying to figure it out from about half way through the book.
Great book, amazing series! Highly recommend!!

BRILLIANT!!

Enjoyed this book so much I have downloaded more from this author and so far nothing disappoints. The story hooks you from the start and goes a great pace but leaves you wanting more and trying to figure out how this all happens. I found I personally felt part of things and could hardly put the book down. It's one of those ones that although you know it has ended you yearn for more. As I said BRILLIANT just brilliant.
