I was pleasantly surprised after reading about 20 pages. A somewhat confusing beginning. The rest of the book was a total surprise! A mixture of IRA, kidnappings, best friends. A great read! I would like to read more of this author!

I finally had a chance to actually read this book--It is loaded with twists and turns-like a snake for a drain--I can't put it down--any avid reader who likes mystery and intrigue will love this book and believe me---you will not want to put it down until you have read the last line!!

it was good, the beginning was a little weird but then you really get into it and it keeps you turning the pages and up reading all night til it is done...really good
"Suspense" novel about a woman who runs a shelter for abused women and gets tangled up in an international terrorist plot.Unlikely actions and downright incorrect information made me dump this after about 50 pages.
great book one you wont want to put down
Started out fairly good then about the middle it just seemed to get slow and going no where fast, so I consider it only a 2 star rating as I like a faster pace suspense story
Intrigue from the start to finish! From her quiet home in an old monastery, Abby helps abused women and children. Suddenly she finds herself involved in a terrorist attack, kidnappings, murder, power plays, an IRA splinter group, FBI, and CIA action. Who can be trusted?
Enjoyable book if you like mysteries.
