“Uremarkable but better than the first book that I read by her. Definitely a good story and well-plotted but just a few weeks later I can't even tell you my impressions.”

“IT was ok, it was good enough to want to read all three books plus dirty secrets club which I thought was the best out of the four books.”

“If you love suspense, you need to go out immediately and find a book by Meg Gardiner. Meg, you’ve been hidden in the UK for too long! I really enjoyed The Dirty Secrets Club, but this one was even better. At one point, Evan’s sister-in-law tries to illegally take back custody of her son while Evan is locked in the back of a police car, and I thought I was going to literally jump out of my seat! And that was just the beginning! This story of a cult gone crazy really makes you think about what we as a society can control, and what we can’t, especially as Evan tries to get help from the police, who don’t know whom to believe. And I never expected the final twist. I think I especially liked the quiet times in the story, where you got a real sense of Evan, Jesse, and Luke’s normal lives. So often you only see the characters in a suspense novel in the midst of chaos. I will definitely be reading (or listening to) more of these, likely sooner rather than later.”

this is a wild ride through some of the more dubious aspects of the American Dream (religious zealotry/military hubris/old-fashioned greed), with a well-developed cast of characters navigating their way along an intricate plot line...no one emerges unscathed..or aplogetic
Ms Gardiner reminds me of Michael Connelly in her style of writing..and that is not faint praise..i'm glad i bought this entire series..i look forward to further reads
she's Aces, kiddies. tell your friends”
“Read the next book in this series (Mission Canyon) last year and enjoyed it, so was looking forward to this one. This time Evan Delaney (part time writer, part time legal eagle, part time PI) takes on religious nutters who believe that armageddon is approaching. And they won't let Delaney, her boyfriend, her brother or his son get in their way. Really enjoyed this. I like the idea of people taking on crazed faithful fanatics, and it makes for some great dialogue and some fast paced action with twists and turns. A good book.”
