Book Reviews of Mallory's Oracle (Kathleen Mallory Novels)
Book Review: Highly Original Character Shines In Outstanding Series
Summary: 5 Stars
Lost in New York City, at age 7, Kathleen Mallory lived by her wits and cunning until found by Detective Louis Markowitz, as the 10 year old was attempting to hotwire a Jaguar. Chosing to take the snarling street child home, Markowitz was able to bypass months of legal red tape, Social Worker inquiries and provide a home where only doorways and cardboard boxes gave shelter before.Raised by the brilliant policeman and thriving under the tender and wise ministrations of his wife, Helen, Mallory, as she prefers to be called, enjoyed an excellent education and proved to be a beautiful, but hard, diamond in the rough. On graduation from Barnard College, Mallory joined the Police Force, to the surprise of her adoptive father, by labored safely in the bowels of the Computer Division.
All that changed when an elderly pawnbroker noticed the gold watch inscribed Markowitz, and the wedding ring, that could only have left the widower's finger after death. Alerting Mallory to the shivering young hype waiting payment in the pawnshop, it's not long before the trail leads to the two most recent victims of a crafty serial killer...and one of the bodies is Lou Markowitz.
Traces of her hard-boiled, (even by New York standards), persona and larcenous heart exist, as Mallory hacks into goverment and financial records in search of the faint tail to her adopted Dad's assassin. A serial killer, preying chiefly on wealthy, elderly women, this one's made the mistake of a lifetime, incurring Mallory's feral wrath and unwavering attention.
Certain commonalities exist among the murdered women, who lived adjacent to the fenced and keyed Gramercy Park. A number of well-drawn, and highly individual suspects emerge, and you will enjoy the time spent unraveling the mystery and getting to know more about Mallory's world and the inner workings of a singular mind. Highly recommended...breaks many police procedural formulas!
