I really wanted to like this book, as it was my first one read written by Carol O'Connell. I really didn't care for the main character, a former juvenile delinquent, street urchin adopted by a cop named Markowitz. The characters were many and varied, but the story unfolded in such a choppy way, with lengthy flashbacks to Mallory's adoptive mother Helen, and her slain cop father Louis. There were seances, crazy mediums, quirky characters galore. I really wanted to find out who was killing all these rich elderly ladies in Gramercy Park, but I gave up in disgust well before the denouement. This gritty realism in the genre of tough female characters (such as from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) is definitely not my cup of tea.
