The Final Kill

Once again,Meg writes an edgy, suspenceful story. Full of action and unexpected twists and turns, one never gets bored reading this book. Of course, now we have to wait until the next book to see what will befall our main character. While I have read each and everyone of Meg's books, I have to add, please write another Jessie James book!!! Thanks for another great read! Terri Doria

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.

Abby Northrup converted a monastery into a shelter for battered women and children. However, she never expected to see her close friend Alicia Gerard arrives with her daughter seeking shelter. When they do Abby notices both seem despondent and in shell shock. Not long after taking the two females in the FBI arrives at the monastery demanding Abby turn over Alicia to them as she is a murderer, but the Feds are too late as Alicia quietly left. Sheriff Ben Schaeffer warns Abby to stay out of the investigation, but her concern for her pal forces her to sleuth for the missing woman. Ben proves right when Abby steps into danger that impacts national security with only her beloved sheriff trying to keep her safe. Though it takes time to lay out the plot, be patient because THE FINAL KILL is a terrific thriller that is worth reading as Meg O'Brien writes a deep character driven amateur sleuth mystery. The romantic subplot enhances the prime whodunit and where is she investigation conducted by the heroine. Ben is a delightful champion trying to persuade the woman he loves to back off as the Feds and others demand she stay out of this or else. This superb tale will provide plenty of fun to fans of romantic suspense. Harriet Klausner
