Summary: A Fascinating Winner!
Review: "Fallen" is a wonderful, character-driven thriller which was so very difficult to put down. And I was sorry when it ended because the characters are so alive and interesting. The novel is very complicated in its plotting--and is probably not for those perhaps less intelligent and not seeking a challenge. But a challenge that is great fun and fascinating! I recommend it most highly.
And for more by this most gifted writer, I recommend her "Taken" and "The Man in the Buick." Both are excellent.

Summary: New Best in the Genre
Review: "Fallen" is George's second novel and even better than the first, "Taken." Her sense of plot and character development is excellent. These characters stayed with me days after I finished the book. Her books take this genre up a notch and make for great reading. Highly recommend!

Summary: engrossing psychological suspense
Review: Everyone knows that Pittsburgh Doctor Dan Ross is a humanitarian and he proves it to any doubters by funding Pacusset Safe House, a place for young adults in danger to go to for a safe haven and counseling. He is such a good person nobody understands why he was murdered. Although the police have no leads, a determined officer, working on his own time, tries to find Dan's murderer. Dan's wife Elizabeth takes her husband's death hard, withdrawing into herself and rejecting the help of her friends.She has a new next-door neighbor Frank Razzi, a man who rented the housee just so he could be next to Elizabeth. He spies on her and goes out of his way to be her friend. He has a teaching job in Athens Ohio where he is letting Christie, an eighteen-year-old girl stay there working for him. Both Christie and Elizabeth find out who is has at approximately the same time putting their lives in danger from a man who killed twice before. By the time readers figure out who Frank really is they will be glued to their chairs, frantically turning the pages to see what he does to the two women he loves and hates. The obsessed police officer is an interesting character, a jaded cop who becomes obsessed with bringing in the killer of a very decent man. Kathleen George has written an engrossing work of psychological suspense that takes into account not only the crime, but also the heartbreak that caused it. She makes it easy to understand the killer even though the audience hates what he has done. FALLEN has one of the most conflicted antagonists this reviewer has ever read about which makes him fascinating in a sorrowful kind of way. Harriet Klausner

Summary: FALLEN
Review: For those interested in good writing and an artfully told tale, I recommend Kathleen George's "Fallen." Its depth of characterization raises it above the pure murder mystery genre. I found it a page-turner and will probably return to read it again. If you appreciate good writing and love a well-spun mystery - this is the book for you.

Summary: A model for writers
Review: Here's a contemporary novel that serves as a guide for writers. Kathy George expertly uses techniques of set up, metaphor, irony, structure...these and many more. I am especially fascinated by her ability to create intellegent suspense in ways that would make Hitchcock nod his head knowingly. I'm not usually drawn to this genre, and Kathy took me on the same journey of many characters in the book - we could not withhold our fascination for an evil man.

Summary: I've FALLEN for this book!
Review: I am a fan of Kathleen's first novel, Taken, so I anxiously awaited her second novel. I was wary at first that it may not live up to my expectations, but after the first few pages the story sucked me in.
I'm not going to write about what the book was about since some of the other reviewers already offered plot summaries. I'll just get to the main point.
The book don't offer flimsy characters like some of the other thrillers out there. These characters breathe and get under your skin. Even after I closed the book, I could "see" Frank and Elizabeth.
I spent countless late-nights reading, trying to figure out what Frank was going to do next!

Summary: Psychological Thriller
Review: I found this novel gripping and I could not put it down. Character development is excellent.
The author gives you a brutal crime, then takes you into the troubled mind of the murderer as he plans, schemes, and lies to achieve his ultimate goal. You are forced to understand him while hating him.
You truly feel the pain and suffering of the victim's spouse. Then you are faced with anxiety and fear as she confronts an unknown danger who is just steps away.

Summary: Pittsburgh mystery
Review: Once I started reading "Fallen" I could not put it down. It was fascinating to see how all the pieces gradually fell into place like a complicated jigsaw puzzle. Living in Pittsburgh, I particularly enjoyed visualizing the various neighborhoods where the action takes place.

Summary: psychological thriller
Review: This is truly a psychological thriller. I found myself being pulled into the mind of the "evil" character, even though his motives are not softened or sentimentalized. I wanted to understand him and at the same time, I was repelled by him. All the main characters are well-drawn. Fallen is a creepily enjoyable read!
