Product Description

Product Description

When the body of a young woman washes up on the black sands of the California beach Jericho Point, it’s identified as Evan Delaney’s. But Evan is very much alive – apparently the victim of an identity thief who was playing the Hollywood rich for everything they’re worth. The crook may be dead, but the crimes she was murdered for – crimes committed in Evan’s name – are turning Evan’s life into a nightmare. Now, in the shadow of a dead woman’s lies, it’s all Evan can do to survive.

“[A] GRIPPING PLOT...You’ll find it impossible to find a resting point.” – Evening Times (Glasgow)
“A RELENTLESS, CLAUSTROPHOBIC examination of mistaken identity and the terror of being accused of a crime for which you are not responsible.” – Sherlock
“FAST-PACED, WITTY, AND BRUTAL.” – The Independent (London)

5.0 out of 5 stars This time the person Evan Delaney is trying to protect is herself, July 22 2007

(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Jericho Point (Paperback)
By the time you get to "Jericho Point," the third of the Evan Delaney thrillers penned by Meg Gardiner, the review of her work that Stephen King put in "Entertainment Weekly" has disappeared from our rear view mirrors. If you started at the very beginning with "China Lake" and then consumed "Mission Canyon" as well, then all you really need to know is that "Jericho Point" is more of the same. The front cover promises "Sex, Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll. And Murder," and that is exactly what we get. On a dark and stormy night Evan shows up to a wild party, summoned by some stranger because it seems her boyfriend has locked himself in a bathroom. But it turns out the sad drunk on the floor is not Jesse Blackburn, but his brother PJ, who says that some girl went off the balcony, over the edge, all the way down into the waves. Things get considerably worse from there and I really do not want to give away more of the story because you should just read the book and find out for yourself. There is a really great hook for this story, but I never bothered to look at the back cover because I did not need to be persuaded to buy this one and I think you should enjoy discovering it as you read it.

What I can say is that whereas "China Lake" was about Evan getting in the way of people out to get her brother Brian and her young nephew Luke, and "Mission Canyon" was about people going after Jesse, this time around it is Evan herself who is the target for a whole lot of people. Gardiner really puts her heroine through the wringer this time and hopefully this is as bad as things ever get for Evan on a personal (and physical) level, because I do not know if I can take much more. That is without even taking into account the constant turmoil that is her love life with Jesse, especially since Marc Dupree is back again as part of the cavalry. As always the action is pretty much nonstop as Gardiner finds a way of adding fuel to the fire in virtually every chapter of the book. Just be careful not to start reading any of her books in bed at night because you might have trouble finding a chapter where you can feel comfortable stopping.

I have been mulling over the idea that "Jericho Point" is the best of the trio of Evan Delaney thrillers I have read so far, but I do not really have a sense that it is noticeably better than its predecessors. Certainly the fact that the risk to our heroine makes this one even more personal than the previous two books is part of the equation, but overall I think Gardiner is just on top of her game. These have all been great reads, not only because they are fast paced but also because of her wicked sense of humor (e.g., Evan whole "Flaming Asshole" routine when she interrupts a lunch at the San Ysidro Ranch). One of the things I love about these books is that only Gardiner's readers know how funny Evan is, because she thinks all of her funny stuff rather than saying it outloud. Plus the "Star Trek" panties are just so damn endearing. Now the only problem I have is to wait patiently for the fourth book to be delivered to hold me over until the fifth one is published in paperback this spring.
