Meg Gardiner is excellent at writing action scenes. If you enjoy a complicated mystery and non-stop fights, this is the writer for you!
In Jericho Point, Evan is a victim of identity theft and calls 911 about a woman falling into the water. This results in several groups of bad guys being after her - one of them is particularly terrifying. However, they don't stop her from getting to the bottom of it.
I also love how complicated and non-stereotypical Jesse's character is. I have learned a lot about disabilities from his storyline, and when I'm done with the Evan Delaney series, I'm going to try to find out what inspired Gardiner to write him. He is a romantic hero, and in my reading experience, people with disabilities are not portrayed that way. It's fantastic.
Trigger warning: A dog passes away traumatically.

I must admit, I didn't get very far in this book. Around 30 pages to be exact. It was interesting, but I haven't read the two books that came before this one so I was extremely confused. I might come back to it in the future after reading the books preceding this one! The description sounds really intriguing but it's hard to get into as the series seems to be tied together. :)

I do love me some Meg Gardiner thrillers! This was an awesome read and I enjoyed the many different arcs. I did get a little confused and felt like the plot dropped off in a few places, but I loved the development as it went along. I especially loved the characters. It was great to see Brian back and though I didn't love the pseudo-love triangle, it was nice to see some other characters. There wasn't enough Jesse, but there is never enough Jesse.

I don't understand how a lawyer turned science fiction writer can have so many awful things happen to her. It's kind of like Jack Reacher in Lee Child's novels, how everywhere he goes he gets sucked into something bad except that with Evan the bad things are happening to the people around her as well. The first book was about the insanity that surrounded her brother, his child and ex-wife. The next was about her fiancee and his accident years before and this one was about Jesse's brother. It just seems a little unbelievable especially given that she's not in a line of work that would put her in danger. Meg Gardiner even alludes to it at one point when Carl asks her if she's ever thought about why all these bad things keep happening to her.
But despite that, the book was good. Kept me reading and interested to see what happened to everyone. I'll probably read the next one just to see what kind of trouble she gets into next.
