Rating:  Summary: ANOTHER FABULOUS O'BRIEN THRILLER!!!!! Review: After reading "Crashing Down," I knew I had to read Meg O'Brien's other novels, so I ran out and bought them. It's always like that when you read a good book by a new author. "Sacred Trust" was quite different then "Crashing Down." It takes place in the gorgeous, picturesque, town of Carmel, California! (I personally love that town!) Abby Northrup is startled to wake up one morning and hear the news that her old best friend Marti Bright has been murdered. Her body was placed on a wooden cross with nails stuck through her hands and she was severly beaten to death. Next to the body was the word "Abby." The Carmel PD believe that Abby might have killed her. Abby is shocked and decides to investigate the death of her old friend on her own. As she tries to narrow down the suspects with the FBI and police on her tail, she uncovers many new revelations like her husband's blackmailing scheme in order to obtain land and Marti's son's foster parents have disappeared. The novel leaves the reader confused at points but the ending is extremely shocking and sums the book up well. I'm already in the middle of reading "Gathering Lies," her newest novel!

Rating:  Summary: ONE WORD: AWESOME Review: Another well written novel by Meg O'Brien.Powerful suspense through out the book keeps you guessing as all the twists and turns occur. When you think you have it all figured out, you learn that wasn't it. This occurs several times.This book is a page turner from start to finish.
Rating:  Summary: Trust Me Review: As a relatively new reader of suspense novels, Meg O'Brien's Sacred Trust has me hooked on the genre in general and on her style of writing, in particular. This book has so many twists and turns I simply could not out guess the characters and figure out the ending ahead of time. I highly recommend Sacred Trust to anyone looking for a good read, whether mystery lover or not.
Rating:  Summary: Sacred Trust Review: Extremely well written. Kept me in suspense all the way through. Excellent. As an author, I would love to contact Meg personally. Keep writing Meg.
Rating:  Summary: Very Different Review: Here's a story of Abby. Her best friend Marti is murdered and the list of suspects is long including herself. There is a lot of twists and turns that keep you guessing until the end. The story is written in the 1st person - Abby. She has a strong sense of right and wrong and you can't help but like her. Read the book you'll be surprised.
Rating:  Summary: Pretty good for a genuine mystery fan Review: I found this book enticing and interesting. The connections at first seem too easy, but later turn out to show the author's complexity. The book was written with a great deal of emotion and that came through in the story. The heroine is believable but spunky. I would definitely recommend this book to others.
Rating:  Summary: Sacred Trust Review: I have read all of Meg's books and this is one of my favorites. It was well written, kept me on the edge of my seat and kept me wondering. I'm already looking forward to her next book!
Rating:  Summary: SACRED TRUST - Meg O'Brien Will Earn Yours! Review: I just finished Meg O'Brien's new novel SACRED TRUST last night around midnight. Great Read! I'd like to recommend it. I didn't put the book down all day! Although it is not a true "romantic novel" per se (it's more in the Thriller/Suspense Genre)I loved the action and main character - Abby Northrup. She's comes across as smart, strong and can take care of herself. Also, the twist and turns in the plot kept me going and made me crazy! (in a good way, of course). I have read other works by Meg O'Brien, with most recently, CRASHING DOWN and loved how she was able to keep me guessing till the very end at "Whodunit?" and "Why?" SACRED TRUST, did not let me down with this either. I had a bunch of people in my mind who I thought might be the killer and many reason why they would do it. It drove me nuts. I had to finish the book to see if I was right! So, sit back, have a cup of Jasmine Tea and enjoy the suspense Ms. O'Brien has for us :-) But, make sure you don't have any plans for the day that you'll have to cancel because you can't put the book down! :-)And Oh, and if you have a dog...keep him close by :-)

I'm already looking forward to Meg's next book! Terri Doria
