An Unfortunate Accident

By Sunita Shastry

A car accident that takes the life of a man starts off this novel. What caused this accident? The semi driver is accused of running a red light but did he? In this debut novel, the author has woven a cast of characters that are impacted by this one event in myriad ways. A widow tries to come to grips with her heartbreak. A sister attempts to be supportive. A nurse in the shadows finds it excruciatingly difficult to come forward to throw some light on this event. A cub reporter digs deep to find out the truth. One experiences the perspective of each of these characters drawn together by this event.
The events take place in Hancock, PA, a fictional town tucked away in the Pocono Mountains

Sunita Shastry

This is the second novel by Sunita Shastry, occasional writer and “closet” poet. As she promised, this novel has a few characters from the previous novel. She is a special educator by training and runs a not-for-profit that supports a school for children with special needs in India. An avid reader especially of murder mysteries, she wanted to write “a mystery with no murders.” She lives in Washington, IL with her husband, tending her home which has a large, sprawling yard which occupies her. She has a son and daughter-in-law living close-by and a grandson who has enhanced her life immeasurably. Check out her website at www.sunitashastry.com
