YES! A New Carol O'Connell by December 30th, 2008!

[DADavenport]

My favorite author has a new one coming out. The only info I can find is that it is called Bone By Bone and it is not a Mallory book. I think it's a stand-alone, which will be okay by me since The Judas Child, her only other stand-alone, was fabulous.
I am delighted. I need an O'Connell fix like I need air.
Any other O'Connell fans out there in Crimespace?

Thank you for finding us. I have asked my dau-in-law to buy Bone by Bone for me in the US and to read it first as she is a big fan also and then send the book to me in Australia as I can't wait till March to get it. I heard it came out on the 31 Dec 2008.

I am surprised there is another Mallory novel as it seemed like a good place to end in 'Find Me'. And in Crime School we got some of the future when Charles was showing his grandchildren pictures of Mallory and saying she could fly.
Keep us updated. And I am so glad she has stayed with the UK publishers who saw the beauty and precision of her writing and how refreshingly unique her talents are. Carol does not type cast like others do nor does she pad out her books. I am so grateful I have found such a fantastic author. Could you send a review of her new book to The Courier Mail in Queensland Australia - which is the top newspaper in Australia. I can't remember a review been done of her books and it is by word of mouth and chance that her star has risen here. I would like so much to have a write up on her latest book so even more people hear and embrace her.

Hello Neil, I download and read a book a day for my Amazon Kindle. Yes, I know, excessive by most standards. The reason I'm writing is that I could only download 3 of Carol's books on my Kindle. That's all there were. Roughly $6.00 each per digital download. In order to read the rest, I bought used books at Amazon.com for $.01 each plus shipping. My point is that your publishing house and the author could make more by publishing all of her novels in the Kindle version. Jane

Neil, I'm reading The Man who cast two shadows. Is the idea of Louisa's Concerto based on something in real life?

Hi Neil,
I have been a huge fan since Carol O'Connell hit the shelves with Mallory's Oracle. I loved Bone By Bone, another fabulous stand-alone, as good as Judas Child.

Every person I have ever turned on to her books is going to be thrilled that there is a new Mallory novel in the works. They were so worried that Mallory's story had ended with Find Me. Good to hear there will be further adventures.

Thanks for touching base.

I did a book review on Bone By Bone for Mystery Morgue and I can't say enough good about the book. I just loved it - get it read as soon as you can.

Can't wait for this.... I loved Judas Child, couldn't stop reading it, but unfortunately haven't read her other novels - I can't find them in Croatia (don't ask why, I don't know, guess I'll have to buy them via almighty internet)... I hope this one will hit the stores here too.

Hi! I'm a Carol O'Connell fan from the Philippines. I love all her books. Actually, I found Killing Critics first and I never stopped till I completed her books (it took me two years).. Though I'm eagerly waiting for her new book- Bone by Bone.. It's not yet available in the Philippines... Thank you very much for the information and I do hope that there will be a new Kathy Mallory book...

I am also a fan of Carol O'Connell. The first Mallory book will always be my favorite. Find Me seems to signal the end of the Mallory series though I think it would be great if O'Connell went back in time and filled in Mallory's early career in law enforcement. I will have to look of the non-Mallory books.

I love the Mallory books. It will be fun to see what this is.
