Review
"O'Connell delivers all the best parts of suspense fiction--plot twists, chilling details, and a rapid pace--while simultaneously delving into the psyche of her protagonists. She displays not only the dark horrors of the criminal mind but also what lurks in the hearts of those who try to protect us."-- "Library Journal"
"O'Connell's crime-scene investigation techniques ring true, her plotting is breathtaking, and her psychology acute."-- "Booklist (starred review)"
"This novel is gritty, streetwise, funny, and sure to bring in more fans for the still-enigmatic Mallory."-- "Publishers Weekly"
The juxtaposition of grisly detail and elegantly elliptical writing creates suspense that builds and resonates.-- "Kirkus starred review"
