Search - Crime School (Kathleen Mallory, Bk 6)

Wow (do people say wow today?). I've always liked Carol O'Connell's "Mallory" series and this is the best one yet. O'Connell just takes a ball of yarn and unravels it; then rolls it back up. Some of Mallory's life as a street urchin is revealed which almost makes her human. But then maybe not. "Kathy, can you fly?"

for anyone who likes Mallory they will enjoy this book. A hooker who knows Kathy is hanged and they go back in time to delve into more of early Kathy's life before and after Markowicz. Very good book

The most creative author I've read. The Mallory character is totally unique. A sociopathic female cop, who'd have thought.

I might have enjoyed this book much more if I had read the previous ones in the series first. I found the characters to be very strange and the story strange, convoluted and slow. I finished the book because I was curious to find out who the perpetrator of the crimes was, but although a street urchin-turned-cop is certainly possible, it didn't convince me in this book. I think it was a matter of just not liking this cop.

This book moved very S L O W.
