Mallory's Oracle by Carol O'Connell
mystery. First in series of Kathy Mallory, NYPD. Good read.
I had a hard time with this one. I blame part of my issue on the eBook format - I think there were times when the scene would shift from place to place and I would get confused. I'm guessing that in the printed book there would be white space to indicate the shift but that was missing from the eBook.
I thought the mystery was interesting and I didn't guess the killer but I also had trouble connecting the dots even when it was being explained to me.
I was warned that Mallory is a hard character to like and sure enough, I didn't like her. I didn't like anyone else either, unfortunately.
Will probably not continue with the series but you never know...… (more)

A twisty mystery. A duel between sociopaths. A hit man who loves a hooker. Random murders. Love the plots, love Mallory — who is a mystery herself.
I felt a kindred spirit to the adult/child Mallory. Carol O'Connell is one of the best writers ever. I am shocked that O'Connell is not as famous as other mainstream authors. I am a long-time, die-hard fan.
