Chris Pavone's "The Accident" Gets NY Times Rave Review
Mr.
Pavone writes: “First the web devoured book clubs, then magazines, and
now its maw is agape, ravenous, ready to swallow the whole bloody
publishing business.” Luckily, unputdownable books like Mr. Pavone’s
help keep the business alive and well... Janet Maslin, NYTimes
Chris, who is my long-time friend Vera Pavone's son, hits another home run with his 2nd novel. Since I am way behind on my reading, I didn't get to read his first novel, The Expats, until 6 months ago and it was even better than I thought it would be -- not my usual genre. Chris is appearing at a book signing at a Barnes and Nobles next week but I will be deep into the final rehearsals of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying before our March 14 opening.

Chris
Pavone managed to turn his experience in book editing and living in
Luxembourg into an Edgar-winning spy novel, “The Expats.” With “The
Accident,” he matches that first novel’s nail-biting level of excitement
while continuing to write about what he knows. “The Accident” is a
thriller about publishing, and if that sounds like an oxymoron, Mr.
Pavone is very good at rendering it wildly dramatic.
