“Carol O’Connell is an American mystery writer who made her debut with Mallory’s Oracle in 1994. The book introduced Kathy Mallory, an unconventional NYPD detective, and launched a 12-book series that has earned O’Connell a dedicated following among mystery readers. Before becoming a published author, she worked as a painter and held various jobs in New York.”
“O’Connell’s writing stands out in the crime fiction genre for its dark tone and complex protagonist. Mallory is not a typical detective character. She’s cold, manipulative, and possibly dangerous, which makes the series unusual among police procedurals. O’Connell has also written two standalone novels, The Judas Child and Bone By Bone.”
