Carol O'Connell's latest "Mallory" book. The central mystery in this book revolves around the ice-pick murder of a suspected burgler. For almost all involved it seems at first like self-defense, until the secrets of Winter House begin to surface, and the women involved are revealed to be more than they appeared.
I think this is quite possibly the strongest of the Mallory books so far. It can stand on its own, but much of the background and nuance would be lost to new readers of the series. The mystery is just as convoluted as any of O'Connell's past works, and it's a nice paced read. Mallory and Charles do more interacting in this novel, and Charles has a greater role overall than he has in the past, which is nice to see. If you're a fan of the series, you'll like this one. If you haven't read any of the others, I suggest you start with Mallory's Oracle instead of this one.
