Review
"Crashing Down will grab readers' hearts." -- Romantic Times BOOKclub

"A pace any locomotive would envy . . . and many convoluted twists . . . snare readers like a siren's call." -- Publishers Weekly on The Last Cheerleader

Product Description
Abby Northup finally has the quiet life she's dreamed of, living in Carmel at the former monastery she purchased and renovated. But The Prayer House is more than a peaceful home for Abby -- unofficially it is an underground safe haven for abused women and children. And when an old friend and her daughter appear on Abby's front step looking for safe haven, Abby's tranquil life begins to dissolve.

Alicia Gerard is the wife of a wealthy business tycoon with strong connections to the political world. Abby agrees to take Alicia and her daughter in, but when FBI agents swarm the building looking for them, Abby finds herself trapped in a world of murder, conspiracy and threats to national security. On the run from government agents who make their own rules, Abby must decide which of her beliefs are worth dying for -- and which ones are not.

3.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting Tale-Northrup must be tough again!, June 24, 2006

By	J. Kirkman "book jen" (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book, which is a sequel to Sacred Trust, was pretty good for mysteries, though I have read better.

Abby purchased the monestary and she is using it to house battered women and children from dangerous spouses. And surprisingly enough, her old friend Alicia shows up with her teenaged daughter Jancy in tow. She won't tell Abby why they are there, or what it is they are running away from. Then when the police and all the other FBI team show up at the door demanding to see them, Abby knows she is headed for big trouble. There was a murder committed at the hotel, and Alicia is one of the suspects. So as soon as Abby convinces the police they are not there, (lying well), then Alicia takes off leaving Jancy behind. She is nowhere to be found either-until many more troubles later, and Abby almost gets herself killed in the process.

In her travels to find Alicia and make her turn herself in, Abby gets hurt many times along the way. She runs into a lawyer Jimmy, who tries to help her out, and discovers along the way that there are 2 kidnappings in the process. One of them is the detective's son who is on this case.

So glad Meg O'Brien is back with another twister of a mystery/thriller. This one should be made for the "Big Screen!"
I loved it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Read Despite Unbelievable Plot Twists, June 6, 2006

By	Daniel Costello (Dunnsville, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If action was the sole criteria, The Final Kill would be a classic. The problem with O'Brien's novel is that too many things happen that are simply unbelievable. Some of the plot twists are so bad they are actually funny. Also, O'Brien is sloppy when it comes to details. At one point, her main character suffers severe facial injuries that may require plastic surgery. Twenty-four hours later, after fleeing the hospital, she returns home where a friend fails to notice the injuries. A miracle? Perhaps. Despite its many flaws, the book is a fun read. Not only is the action non stop but readers will enjoy the antics of the main character, Abby Northrup, and her former teacher, Sister Helen.
