Title: Much better than her last
Review: But not as good as her first two. Still, a vast improvement over the previous Mallory book - which had very little of Mallory in it. O'Connel sets up a great whodunit in this one, stretching back forty years. The plotting is intricate, and the characters are extremely well done. I would have liked to see more tension, however, and a little more growth in Mallory. And more of those "Mallory moments", you know the kind if you've read her before, where gorgeous sociopath takes on polite society and sends it scurrying away in confused fear while you snicker appreciatively, but it was a good read, nonetheless.
