Product Description

Product Description
When a serial lady-killer is found with shears sticking out of his chest and an ice pick in his hand, Kathy Mallory and her NYPD Special Crimes partner Detective Sgt. Riker are called in to investigate. One of the occupants of Winter House, the scene of the crime, is 70-year-old Nedda Winter, who immediately confesses to the killing, claiming it was self-defence. Murder solved, case closed. It's even poetic justice. But Winter House is the site of a massacre that took place 50 years previously and doesn't give up its dead so easily. Mallory and Riker will have to reopen the original investigation in order to try and stop the murderer from finishing what they started.

From the Publisher
'With Winter House, Carol O'Connell proves once again the enduring power of Mallory' Karin Slaughter

5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe the best Mallory book?, 26 Aug 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Winter House (Kathleen Mallory Novels) (Hardcover)
The latest Mallory book begins with the dead body of a burglar, apparently killed in self-defence. Except the corpse had been carrying an ice-pick in a house that long ago witnessed the massacre of a family.....all killed with an ice pick.

This book is brilliant, and though I think the whole series is truly amazing, it still stands out.

"Winter House" sees a strong return to the almost supernatural feel of the earlier books and features Charles Butler heavily (which is always a good thing as far as I'm concerned). Also all of the members of the poker group make a welcome appearance.

The book feels like it is firmly rooted into its place in the series (which one or two of the others haven't) and contains subtle references to events in previous books.

Mallory's own emotions are very much in evidence, again giving lie to the idea of a restrained sociopath. And, as this is Carol O'Connell, the plotting is easily equal to the standard set by her stunning writing style.

I read it straight through and then again two days later. It really is exquisite and I cannot recommend it enough, or give it enough stars.

And though it's been said many times before, Carol O'Connell really does transcend the genre and her books are as hard to pigeon hole as Mallory, herself.

If you have never read Carol O'Connell or a Mallory book then start with the first ("Mallory's Oracle") and work your way through the series of, now eight. They are worth every moment you will spend reading them and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mallory addict, 17 Aug 2005
By A Customer
This is a brilliant addition to the Mallory series. I received the book this morning and sat down and read it all the way through. Great to have more of Charles and the 'poker group'. I was totally wrong in my guess as to the murderer - both the present and the murders fifty years ago. Kept me on edge right to the final pages. Wonderful stuff - liked the reintroduction of the 'creepy' supernatural element that was missing from some of the previous titles. Can't wait for the next instalment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad...
I'm left with mixed feelings after just finishing this book. On the one hand I loved the gothic feeling of it, the plot line and most of the chacters. Read more
