Editorial Review:
From one of the most acclaimed crime writers in America comes her most astonishing novel: a story of love, loss, death-and discovery. Over the course of eight novels, Carol O'Connell and her protagonist, New York detective Kathy Mallory, have carved out a unique place for themselves. But all that has been prelude to the remarkable story told in Find Me. A mutilated body is found lying on the ground in Chicago, a dead hand pointing down Adams Street, also known as Route 66, a road of many names. And now of many deaths. A silent caravan of cars, dozens of them, drives down that road, each passenger bearing a photograph, but none of them the same. They are the parents of missing children, some recently disappeared, some gone a decade or more-all brought together by word that childrens' grave sites are being discovered along the Mother Road. Kathy Mallory drives with them. The child she seeks, though, is not like the others'. It is herself-the feral child adopted off the streets, her father a blank, her mother dead and full of mysteries. During the next few extraordinary days, Mallory will find herself hunting a killer like none she has ever known, and will undergo a series of revelations not only of stunning intensity- but stunning effect.

Rating:  - Don't start from the end. Renee NYC July 2008
It is not reasonable to read this book if you haven't read any of the earlier Mallory series.
Mallory's world is an integral part of
understanding what happens and why it
happens in Find Me. Please start from the
beginning and you will be a convert.
That said, I thought this was the best
book since the first one. The story was labar
ynthine and took some effort to unravel, but
it was definitely worth it. I can only hope that
this will not be the end of Mallory's ... Read More
Rating: - Start Your PhD Thesis Here...
Sometimes success can go to an author's head ... er .. pen. Look, for example, at the latest Bob Lee Swagger effort from Stephen Hunter. THERE is a writer clearly overtaken by his creation. Not so with O'Connell. I admit that WINTER HOUSE worried me. Not up to her usual standard. The omens and portents for another superior Mallory following WH were dark and cloudy. But then, out of nowhere, along comes FIND ME. Not just good, her best. Not just great american fiction; you can, if you are so inclined, do ... Read More
Rating:  - first & last of the Mallory series
I got this book as a gift since it is known among my friends that I love Grafton's Kinsey Millhone and Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta. So, I thought I'd love Kathy Mallory. Not!
I am aware that there is a series of Mallory's "adventures". I am aware that one needs to read a couple of other books of the series before rendering a verdict. However, this book alone was enough for me to decide that I won't be reading another book by Carol O'Connell.
In this series, Mallory hits Route 66 ... Read More
Rating: - The Best!
I have read all the Mallory books and enjoyed them all, maybe not equally but loyally. But this one was absolutely the best one. I couldn't put it down from beginning to end. Please say its not the last in the series.
Rating: - Please don't let the road be over...
I can't say much except that every one of Mallory's books moves me to tears every single time I re-read them. I read "Mallory's Oracle" in high school, forgot the title but remembered the plot, and re-found the book after I went back to visit my high school after I graduated and scoured the general area of the shelves where I thought the book might be. I've read all of the other Mallory stories since then, and "Find Me" is absolutely one of the best. But - as a plea to O'Connell - please don't let the last ... Read More
