Carol O’Connell signs The Chalk Girl Carol O’Connell signa The Chalk Girl.Carol O’Connell signs The Chalk Girl. A young girl is found in Central Park. She appears to be perfect – pretty and full of smiles – except for that spot on blood on her shoulder. She claims it came out of the sky while she was looking for her uncle who’d been turned into a tree. Strange, sure, surreal even. That is until the body of her uncle is found hanging in a tree. Mallory is called in to investigate and, as a former child of the streets, forms a strong bond with the child. A maternal Mallory? Keep your distance! JB, Adele & Fran highly recommend. She will be on hand to sign books and speak informally to her fans. All we ask is you purchase one of her books at our store, so we can continue to host these great events! (seattlemystery)… (més)

Carol O'Connell Carol O'Connell signa Bone by Bone.The New York Times best-selling author of the Mallory books will sign & discuss her latest stand-alone crime novel, Bone by Bone (Putnam; $24.95). In Bone by Bone, she may have written her most unforgettable novel yet. (dulcibelle)
Author Interview and Signing Carol O'Connell de gira per Bone by Bone.Carol O’Connell’s most recent Mallory novel, Find Me, was one of the most highly praised suspense novels of the year. “A terrific find: a tightly wrapped, expert combination of suspense, mystery and show-stopping character” (Janet Maslin of The New York Times); “yet another example of the spot-on talents of one of America’s finest writers of mysteries” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel). In Bone by Bone, however, she may have written her most unforgettable novel yet. In the northern California town of Coventry, two teenage brothers go into the woods one day, but only one comes back. No one knows what happened to the younger brother, Josh, until twenty years later, when the older brother, Oren, now an ex-investigator for the Army CID, returns to Coventry for the first time in many years. His first morning back, he hears a thump on the front porch. Lying in front of the door is a human jawbone, the teeth still intact. And it is not the first such object, his father tells him. Other remains have been left there as well. Josh is coming home . . . bone by bone. Using all his investigative skills, Oren sets out to solve the mystery of his brother’s murder, but Coventry is a town full of secrets and secret-keepers: the housekeeper with the fugitive past, the deputy with the old grudge, the reclusive ex-cop from L.A., the woman with the title of town monster, and, not least of all, Oren himself. But the greatest secret of all belonged to his brother, and it is only by unraveling it that Oren can begin to discover the truth that has haunted them all for twenty years. Written with the rich prose, resonant characters, and knife-edge suspense that have won the author so many fans, Bone by Bone is further proof that “O’Connell is one of the most poetic yet tough-minded writers of the genre” (San Francisco Chronicle).
