Customer Reviews

The most personally involving Evan Delaney story yet

Not only is our heroine more deeply involved than ever, she also is involved more in a chase than in a mystery.It would appear that her father has committed suicide, the only problem being that there's no body. Evan soon discovers that her father is alive, a kidnap victim, and that she has 72 hours to get the information that will save his life.This is fast paced action throughout, but there's also a lot of heart in this. I very much doubt any reader will take the three day time span encompassed by this thriller to read it. It's not a book you will want to lay down once you've started it.The heart I mentioned as being in it involves the contrast in three separate parent/child relationships, so this does become more than just a thriller.

Thriller!

If you love action, adventure, suspense and a quickly moving plot, Meg Gardiner will not disappoint you. Great read!

Stephen King picks a hit writer

As most of the people who have written reviews for Meg Gardiner books, I also discoverd her via the artical Stephen King srote in Entertainment Weekly. Meg Gardiner has all the requirements of a writer that I am drawn to. She writes in first person, her heroine is smart and the most important the dialouge is "laugh out loud funny." I do hope that Ms. Gardiner does continue to write more Evan Delaney novels in the future and that they do become the "big hits" in the United States as they well deserve.

Stephen King was right.

Gee this book was fun. I read it and I love female superhero types and this one is totally fun. Way better than most thrillers out there. Evan (our hero) is like a female James Bond or a Modesty Blaise type. If you're looking for some fun and a highly original thriller with a cliffhanger ending this is it. I love two of the villains named Bliss and Shiver. Meg had a great way of choosing names. I feel like this series could evolve into something very special and this book would make a great movie. I can't wait to read the next one in the series. Highly recommended. Fast blazing fun read. Would be perfect to take on summmer vacation.
