Order of Carol O’Connell Books

Carol O'Connell crafts compelling crime fiction, with most of her novels centered around the captivating character Kathleen Mallory. Her journey to becoming a published novelist took an interesting turn - she originally pursued visual arts, earning a BFA in painting from Arizona State University. When that artistic path didn't pan out as planned, O'Connell turned to writing as a pastime, much to the delight of crime fiction enthusiasts.

Her debut novel, Mallory's Oracle, had an unusual publishing journey, initially finding success in European markets before making its way to American readers in 1994. This marked the beginning of O'Connell's career as an American crime novelist who would go on to develop her signature Mallory series.
