| From Library Journal Scarred by grief after their 12-year-old son's senseless murder (he was shot by a holdup man in a Burger Bonanza)， Macon and Sarah Leary are losing their marriage too. Macon is unable to cope when she leaves him， so he settles down ``safe among the people he'd started out with，'' moving back home with two divorced brothers and spinster sister Rose. Author of a series of guidebooks called ``Accidental Tourist'' for businessmen who hate to travel， Macon is Tyler's focus here， as she gently chronicles his journey from lonely self-absorption to an ``accidental'' new life with brassy Muriel， a dog trainer from the Meow Bow Animal Hospital， who renews and claims his heart. Not a character， including Macon's dog Edward， is untouched by delightful eccentricity in this charming story， full of surprises and wisdom. All of Tyler's novels are wonderful; thisher tenthis the best yet. BOMC main selection. Janet Wiehe， P.L. of Cincinnati & Hamilton Cty.Copyright 1985 Reed Business Information， Inc.
