Tense, deftly woven, terrific read by a talented author 19 Feb 2012

By Joni L. Rodgers

Format:Kindle Edition

I'm quickly becoming addicted to contemporary Brits who write intelligent, dryly witty fiction. Delighted to add Adrian White to my list.

AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN is like watching a man fall down a well and try to claw his way out. Gregory and Caitlin are doing their best to leave their emotional baggage behind and make a family for themselves and Caitlin's son Tomas, but after they receive a bit of devastating news, Caitlin suddenly disappears. Police suspect foul play and immediately focus on the most obvious person of interest: Gregory.

Over one shoulder, we watch the heartbreaking past unfold; over the other, we see time and trouble close in. With his avenues for help rapidly narrowing, Gregory struggles to care for Tomas and find Caitlin. Toward the end, I sat there with my heart in my throat, feeling every jolt like I was on the train right alongside them.

Highly recommended. If you loved CASE HISTORIES (Atkinson) or THE NINTH STEP (Sissel), you'll love the tense undercurrent and emotional complexity of AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

Recommended by @kindlescout 6 Mar 2012

By Atlantic

Format:Kindle Edition

'Sampling Kindle so you don't have to', Twitter @kindlescout trawls for low cost high quality fiction on Kindle, and recommends An Accident Waiting to Happen, simply for its good writing.
#Later addition to this review# Having sampled the book, and recommended it as @kindlescout, I wanted to read it. I wasn't disappointed. The writing quality is maintained throughout: the plot is tight, edgey, and moves at a spanking pace, the characters are sensitively drawn and complex, and the tension builds to the end - all without a wasted word. A memorable story. Definitely a page-turner. I shall be reading more of Adrian White's novels.

Characters are very attaching. As you read it, you have the feeling as if the author uses his real life intimate experiences to create a feel good story. Adrian White is the new Nick Hornby !
