Amazon.com
At the end of Killing Critics, the third book in Carol O'Connell's addictive series about Mallory, a strikingly original New York City cop, Mallory is traveling south on a train. "She carried no stitch of formal identification that would tie her to a name or a place. This was the way she had come to New York as a child, with only her wits and a bit of a mother's blood on her hands ..." Stone Angel shows us both the beginning and end of that journey, solving mysteries set up in O'Connell's first two books in the series--Mallory's Oracle and The Man Who Cast Two Shadows--as well as raising the inevitable question of what she can do for an encore. Even if the Mallory books end here, O'Connell's future seems secure: these dark and powerful myths are sure to be read and reread for a long time.

From Booklist
Readers of O'Connell's earlier Kathleen Mallory novels have come to expect twisted psychology and sociopathic behavior as a matter of course, and certainly her stunning new thriller offers plenty of those staples. This time, though, there's even a touch of voodoo added to the lethal brew. No one--not even her best friend, Charles Butler--knows anything about Mallory's life before she showed up at age 10 in New York, already an accomplished thief and pickpocket. Now Mallory has vanished, only to turn up months later in the backwater Louisiana town where her childhood disappeared. Charles, who follows her, is unsurprised to find her in the town jail, a prisoner of the sheriff who knew her as little Kathy Shelley, whose mother was stoned to death years earlier. The only reminder of the town's most ignominious moment is the stone angel in the town cemetery, a monument to Cass Shelley's horrible death. Mallory has been planning her revenge for years, and now that the moment is here, a mere jail cell won't stop her. The fact that her method of revenge is both brilliantly calculated and utterly terrifying will come as no surprise to those familiar with the cold, cold soul of the always mesmerizing Kathleen Mallory. Is O'Connell's latest a dark voodoo tale? A mystical fairy fable? A sad, gentle love story? A suspense-filled tale of hatred and revenge? Or a horrifying exposeof fundamentalist cults and small-town secrets? The gifted O'Connell--who's now at the height of her considerable literary powers--combines all of the above in a brilliant, not-to-be-missed performance. Wow! Emily Melton

Format:Taschenbuch
This, the fourth in the Mallory series, was a thoroughly engrossing read. Ms. O'Connell's character development is exceptional. The plot is intricate without being overly busy. This book did cause me an embarrassing moment. The scene where Mallory is reunited with her very old dog triggered uncontrollable sobs which proved to be rather disconcerting for the people around me in the dentist's waiting room. There were a few chuckles too. When Detective Sergent Riker meets Sheriff Tom Jessop, it's a match made in heaven. You could probably read and enjoy this book without reading the previous books in this series, but I think you would be missing out on a lot. All of Ms. O'connell's books to date have been very good.
Format:Taschenbuch
Before reading the Stone Angel you must read the first two books in the Mallory series! This book was slow in places but more than made up for it in the end. We see a small crack in Kathy's hard shell, and a toughening up of Charles. The ending of the book was so well written it had my heart pounding, my pulse racing, and a feeling of looking over my shoulder as I tried to help by pushing them along. A great way to come full circle. I can't wait to see how Mallory develops after this! .
Format:Taschenbuch
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.

Disappointing book by Carol O'Connell
This book does not come close to my other favorite CarolO'Connell books such as Killing Critics, The Man Who Cast Two Shadows. Very disappointed. Hope the next book is better.

Great story, shame about the heroine!
OK, I'll be the lone voice of dissent. This book (all O'Connell's books) shows a skilled writer with great descriptive ability and storytelling skills. Lesen Sie weiter...

Mallory is the most unique mystery charecter in print
I have never, in spite of wide reading in mystery, come across a more compelling charecter than Mallory. A sociopath cop who ISN'T a bad cop! Lesen Sie weiter...

Best of the Mallory series
This had a Mallory I liked better. The suspense kept me going from start to finish, without any slow spots.

Absolutely stunning.
I loved the first book in this series but was a bit disappointed in the second and third. I was starting to dislike Mallory a bit and hoped the author would be able to at least... Lesen Sie weiter...
