Well-Written accomplishment as usual for O'Connell
12 July 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I think that Carol O'Connell has perfected her Character, Kathleen Mallory by this time to seem like the cold, unfeeling perfectionist on the outside but really does hold some aspects of human emotion.
Mallory is on a quest for information...information on the death of her mother and her illegal "partner" chases after her in an attempt to try and win her affections.
Ah, I know what you're thinking...but alas, this is not one of those sappy romances with a mystery weaved into it. No, the mystery is definitely dominant and the romance is just a subtle tap on the shoulder...enough to keep you wondering about the outcome of this one-sided relationship, but your brain working furiously to solve the mystery.
I'll admit that the identity of the killer was not difficult to figure out, but for some reason, I still couldn't close the book...I just kept on reading.
I highly reccomend this book and all other books written by Carol O'Connell. However, it is in your best intrest to read the Mallory series starting from the beginning so you know the whole story, beginning with "Mallory's Oracle".

Mallory is an intriguing, original and disturbing creation
5 July 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Against a richly realised Southern Gothic background, a strange and exotic story works itself out. By the end of this novel, I was breathless with excitement, moved almost to tears by Mallory's tragedy and the damage that has resulted from it, and emotionally drained. You won't read another crime novel quite like this all year.

Best of the series, so far.
9 Mar 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A touch of gullibility in the reader is needed to admire Mallory right out of the box. But this reader is perfectly willing to be treated like a child in the interests of a truly good read. If you don't enjoy this one, you'd better swear off Mallory; she doesn't get much better than here.
