This sophomore effort from Meg Gardiner was just that - sophomoric. It starts off pretty strong, but runs out of fire. And some aspects of Evan's character make me want to punch her in the face. Wouldn't you want to kick a person who escapes the ever-present bad guys by sliding down the drain pipe, while holding a baby? It was painful to read that whole chapter, where in page after excruciating page Evan holds a sleeping baby and creeps along the attic of the church to escape the bad guys. And then at the end... her phone rings!

Mission Canyon is the second book in the Evan Delaney series,and the second Meg Gardiner book I have read. I am certainly not trying to disrespect Stephanie Plum(Evanovich books), I have read all but the last of the Evanovich novels and poor Stephanie does not seem to ever get a clue. While there are lots of laughs in those novels, the Evan Delaney books seem to be the subsequent step for me; Meg Gardiner pulls you into the story from the start and keeps the pace up the whole way through. I won't post a long winded synopsis of the story here, as I myself don't enjoy that type of review, but I will say this book is a wonderful read and I can't wait until the subsequent in the series is released here in the United States.

"The people who are left only want to shut you up. Irrevocably," writes Meg Gardiner in her new suspense thriller, Mission Canyon. Evan Delaney finds herself in the middle of a wicked blackmail scheme after her fiancé, Jesse, is severely injured in a hit-and-run accident that leaves him partially paralyzed and his best friend Isaac dead. The suspect shows up in town three years after the crime and begins a dangerous series of events involving career criminals, assassins, cover-ups, money-laundering, and the FBI. The surviving witnesses to the crime begin turning up brutally murdered. Can Delaney solve the mystery before she, too, ends up dead?
Mission Canyon is one of those rare novels that captures your interest from page one. Gardiner brings you on a wild ride of dangerous characters, twisted and exciting plot lines, and colorful diction that will thrill you to the end. The main characters are well developed and interesting; the villains, terrifying and believable. I couldn't put it down and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good read.

After all the hype from Stephen King about this author, I really was looking forward to reading this book which I paid dearly for. I was disappointed. Although it did hold my interest, it didn't strike me as one of the best mysteries I've ever read. Plus, I'm getting a bit tired of the constant tug-a-war between the heroine, Evan, and her wheelchair bound lover. Get married or move on...

I have read three of Meg Gardiner's books now in the past three weeks, man oh man are we all just lemmings or what? A celebrity tells us something is great and we all jump off the cliff. I bought them all without even reading a word, pathetic! For the genre, ala female hero, mystery woman, this is good. The plot is feasible, the characters build with each passing book and they are generally fast reads. The only thing I would wish for is a bit of tightening from an editor on these. There are moments of mind wander because of what I would deem as "filler". With a good 50+ page trim the suspense would be more dramatic. I won't go into explaining plot, because the previous reviewers have done so. If you like the Alphabet mysteries, the culinery mysteries then this should be your cup o tea. Speaking of tea, when will the Brits get a US publisher to push Ms. Gardiner onto this side of the pond, so she can climb a few of the bestseller lists due to distribution and readily available titles in our stores? Oprah? Stephen King? Imus? What will we all read subsequent or should I say, WHOM?
