December 20, 2008
From Amy Koenig and the family of Meg O'Brien
To all of Meg's friends and fans.

It is with great sorrow that I write this letter.

Meg O’Brien, our mother, our friend, died on December 6, 2008.

Rest in peace Mom, know that you are loved and missed.

“If thou of fortune be bereft,
And in thy store there be but left,
Two loaves, sell one, and with the dole,
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul”

Muslih-uddin Sadi
(Meg’s favorite quote)

Thank you to everyone for your love and support during this time of deepest grief,
Amy Koenig (her middle child- and one of her five favorite children)

Excerpt
 

 

"...THE FINAL KILL is a terrific thriller that is worth reading as Meg O'Brien writes a deep character driven amateur sleuth mystery. This superb tale will provide plenty of fun...."
...Harriet Klausner


" …think of it as an episode of 'Survivor' on paper…compelling, edgy reading…not a quick read while you wait on the children at ball practice…an absorbing, relentless read from the first page to the last." ... Mary Lowery, The Courier Herald  on Gathering Lies
