"No Accident" is a wonderful mystery, filled with heartwarming characterizations and a superb plot.

There he meets Tess McConnell, a new hire whose Celtic beauty stirs his blood. Tess is convinced Mitch doesn't like her. How could she? She's overweight and has low self esteem, the result of a relationship with a man who used her for her money. Mitch, however, sees only her beauty, yet his attempts to ask her out are awkward. Then again, there's a murder to investigate. Tess has her own questions about the death of David Forjane and does some investigation on her own. Eventually, she and Mitch join forces to discover the truth behind the murder and discover that their love is...no accident.

Love this author and her quirky characters! Have read "The Way It Happens in Novels" and enjoyed that immensely too! Just hope I don't have to wait so long for her next book! O'Connor has a wonderful way with words, an understatement that surprises and brings a chuckle when least expected. The plot and characters in 'No Accident' bring the reader to the tale's end quickly because you just can't put it down. Bravo!
