I had a hard time with this one. I blame part of my issue on the eBook format - I think there were times when the scene would shift from place to place and I would get confused. I'm guessing that in the printed book there would be white space to indicate the shift but that was missing from the eBook. I thought the mystery was interesting and I didn't guess the killer but I also had trouble connecting the dots even when it was being explained to me. I was warned that Mallory is a hard character to like and sure enough, I didn't like her. I didn't like anyone else either, unfortunately. Will probably not continue with the series but you never know... Habe es nach einem Drittel abgebrochen, was gar nicht meine Art ist. Ein absolut wirrer Plot, die Autorin springt hin und her, selbst nach 70 Seiten findet man sich nicht wirklich zurecht. Ein Buch sol unterhalten und die Phantasie anregen, dies hier ist einfach nur öde. Wie heißt es so schön: Das Leben ist zu kurz für schlechte Bücher....Yep!! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:Jonathan Kellerman says Mallory's Oracle is "a joy." Nelson DeMille and other advance readers have called it "truly amazing, " "a classic" with "immense appeal." It is all of that, and more: a stunning debut novel about a web of unsolved murders in New York's Gramercy Park and the singular woman who makes them her obsession. At its center is Kathleen Mallory, an extraordinary wild child turned New York City policewoman. Adopted off the streets as a little girl by a police inspector and his wife, she is still not altogether civilized now that she is a sergeant in the Special Crimes section. With her ferocious intelligence and green gunslinger eyes, Mallory (never Kathleen, never Kathy) operates by her own inner compass of right and wrong, a sense of justice that drives her in unpredictable ways. She is a thing apart. And today, she is a thing possessed. Although more at home in the company of computers than in the company of men, Mallory is propelled onto the street when the body of her adoptive father, Louis Markowitz, is found stabbed in a tenement next to the body of a wealthy Gramercy Park woman. The murders are clearly linked to two other Gramercy Park homicides Markowitz had been investigating, and now his cases become Mallory's, his death her cause. Prowling the streets, sifting through his clues, drawing on his circle of friends and colleagues, she plunges into a netherworld of light and shadow, where people are not what they seem and truth shifts without warning. And a murderer waits who is every bit as wild and unpredictable as she.... Filled with deep, seductive atmosphere and razor-sharp prose, Mallory's Oracle is gripping, resonant suspense of tantalizing complexityâ??a genuinely unforgettable nov No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
