I don't know if you want to count her as C or O, but may I suggest something by Carol O'Connell. Both Judas Child and Bone by Bone are stand-alone novels. Judas Child by Carol O'Connell ... is the last Mallory, need to check Carol O'Connell's website to see what's what.
It's been some time since I read "Judas Child", so I don't remember much about it. O'Connell's other stand-alone "Bone by Bone" was good, but not as intense as the Mallory series. ... ol
>Catgwinn...I haven't even started the series and am now sad that it might be ending. lol
>28 Storeetllr....I loved Judas Child. I never re-read books but that is one I would make an exception for. Great book and creepy. I felt as though I was locked up in that weird, musty, forest ... Today I am starting Mallory's Oracle by Carol O"Connell. I'm pretty excited to start this series!
I have read Judas Child by her and loved it! Catgwinn ~ Oh, I hope not (tho that's what I thought too about Find Me). Find Me and Judas Child are my two favorite O'Connells. I cried buckets with Find Me, and also some with Judas Child but not as much. ... series this summer. Currently I'm reading Peter Robinson's "Friend of the Devil".

Since you read & liked "Judas Child"...you might also like Carol O'Connell's 'Mallory' series, if you haven't discovered it already.

You mentioned liking 'Phantom of The ... Judas Child is one of my favorites by O'Connell. If you're not ready to delve into her Mallory series, she has another stand-alone called Bone by Bone. Another category finished!! Just finished Judas Child by Carol O'Connell and really enjoyed it. I put it on my list because of the great reviews it got on LT and I was not disappointed. I'll be reading more of this author. ... pls., starting with Mallory's Oracle). These are hard-boiled noir mysteries set in modern-day NYC. Her stand-alone, Judas Child, is also wonderful! I'm late finding this thread but I just had to comment on what tymfos said about Judas Child in #91. It is probably one of my very favorite contemporary mystery/thrillers ever, right after Find Me, the last mystery in the Kathy Mallory series by the same author.

 I just finished Judas Child by Carol O'Connell, and I loved it! Such interesting characters, and what a page turner! Once I finally got started reading, I could hardly put it down. And it left me thinking. Just finished Judas Child. Once I got started, it was very difficult to put it down, even when I had to. A terrific book, interesting characters, lots of plot twists right up to the very end. And it left me thinking. ... story. I also finally read The Perfect Storm, and it was an engrossing, thought-provoking read.
I meant to take up Judas Child (as my next fiction read) and Isaac's Storm (my next non-fiction), but before I could get started on them, I was at the county library with my son and picked ... ... bodies and drug dealers, but it works for this mystery/suspense fan.)

(Sorry, touchstone "reset" to wrong book for "The Odds" when I edited, so I had to remove that touchstone.) >170, 172, 178 Now I really want to read Judas Child!
But it looks like I'll have to wait till I can get it through Interlibrary Loan. In the meantime, The Odds by Kathleen George is waiting for me on the library's hold shelf, so I'm going to try that next. I read a review of it in ... I loved Judas Child! >161 OK, thanks for the suggestion -- I'll read Judas Child first. #156 Just my opinion, but read Judas Child first. I wasn't so impressed with Bone by Bone. OTOH, I'd be interested to know your opinion after you've read both.
#157 I've read both series, and, other than that and the fact they are both set in NYC, there's no resemblance. ... I'm already seeing that this group and others on LT are causing my "wish list" to grow very long.
I haven't read Judas Child yet, but I've read all the Mallory series, I think. I see Carol O'Connell has another stand-alone book out now, Bone by Bone. I'm thinking of tackling ... ... but Find Me is probably the best of all. I cried so hard at the end, and I NEVER cry anymore over books.

I have never been timid about my fangirl crush on Carol O'Connell. I think I've personally recommended her to at least a third of the ... I do rave on about other things and forget--Sandy, I'm about 2/3 of the way through Judas Child and like it much better than the Mallory series, although I repeat, I'm just about alone in my dislike of that series. For me, it's better. My problem with O'Connell stems from her protagonists. I ... Joyce, I'm waiting for your reaction to Judas Child. I've never read any Carol O'Connell and she was recommended to me when I decided on a mysteries category for the 999 challenge. This person (wish I could remember who) liked the Mallery series, but admitted that they get off to a slow ... ... I could wind up what I had been reading about Bragg. What a mistake! Book was terrible.
I am reading Carol O'Connell's Judas Child as comic relief from the Civil War. i am NOT a fan of her Mallory series, probably the only one on LT who really dislikes Mallory. But this book is not bad.
... 113. Bone by Bone by Carol O'Connell. 8 stars. ARC. Good though not as perfect as Judas Child and Find Me. Detailed review will be available after December 1.

Anyhoo, it was a really enjoyable, well-written mystery, though I have to say it's not quite as good as her last two, Judas Child and Find Me, both of which are top-notch and two of my particular favorites. ... favorite is Shell Game. Of course, you could avoid the Mallory series altogether and start with her stand-alone novel, Judas Child, which I also enjoyed very much. I hope you will try her at some point and of course, I hope you enjoy it! Drop me a line and let me know, either way. ... it! (Mallory's Oracle)
I too, bought the series because of LT recommendations and they are in my TBR pile.
I read Judas Child which is one of her stand alones, and I loved it! Ooh, I just read this book Judas Child last month and I loved it! 11. Judas Child by Carol O'Connell
I just finished Judas Child by Carol O'Connell and I really liked it. This story grabs you right from the beginning and keeps you in suspense throughout. Nice little twist at the end. I gave it 4/5 stars.
Currently reading Stalking the Angel by Rob ... Just finished Judas Child by Carol O'Connell. I liked this book, it grabs you right from the beginning and keeps you in suspense throughout. I gave it 4/5 stars.
Today I started Stalking the Angel by Robert Crais. "Yup." Sadie returned to peer into the open petri dish on the counter. "Definitely weird science."

"Why her and not the others?" #304 Oh, I loved Judas Child, which is unusual for me because it usually takes me awhile to warm to a standalone of an author who writes a series I love. I hope you enjoy it too! "I don't think so."
Judas Child by Carol O'Connell
Well how complicated could this be? ... Countess Below Stairs by Eva Ibbotson. I like to mix it up a bit...but now back into my favorite genre. I am starting Judas Child by Carol O'Connell. ... :) If you want to read something by O'Connell that isn't about Mallory, she has one stand-alone that I liked a lot, Judas Child. ... I haven't read that one yet), and Carol O'Connell for her Mallory series (set in NYC) and her one (so far) stand-alone, Judas Child. Both are outstanding writers of exceptionally good dark mysteries that are not the usual fare.
And I'll second Lee Child's Repairman Jack series ~ though ... ... you give the series another try. However, if you just don't like Mallory, O'Connor wrote a wonderful stand-alone called Judas Child that you might like better, and I understand her next book which is due out in a few months is another stand-alone. ... not even tearjerkers! Find Me was just so wrenching. Darn, I hope it's not the last of the series!
Yes, I agree ~ Judas Child was just brilliant. If her next standalone (I think it's going to be called "Bone by Bone") is as good, it might take the sting out of having to wait to see if ... Storeetllr - yeah, I have read everything by O'Connell at least once. She is my favorite mystery writer. I started Judas Child over the minute I finished it, and I rarely do that.
I know what you mean about Find Me. I sobbed as I read the last page. ... got to be my very favorite mystery writer today, male or female. I love her Mallory series, and I found her stand-alone Judas Child just amazing! Can't wait for her new stand-alone which comes out in December 08.
I also have a weakness for J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) for her Eve Dallas ... ... novel. I'm kind of disappointed it's not another Mallory mystery, but I'll get over it, esp. if Bone by Bone is as good as Judas Child. ... and down with excitement* That is great news! I hope it's a Mallory, but if not that's okay. I love her writing (loved Judas Child). Not sure I can wait that long, though. Argh! ... I hope you give it another chance (or two), as it is one of the best mystery series I've ever read. (Oh, or you could try Judas Child, which is a stand alone.)
*some of the touchstones are a bit wonky tonight, I think* ... and Claudius the God by Robert Graves, but I haven't got round to them yet. Also the Mallory mysteries and Judas Child by Carol O'Connell, which I read just this year, so will probably wait awhile before trying.
To those who listed Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre, I ... ... Mallory's Oracle fame by Carol O'Connell is my current favorite. I also think that both girls in her stand-alone novel Judas Child are amazing.
Holly Short of the Artemis Fowl series, Jo from Little Women, Jane Eyre, and Elizabeth Bennett from P&P are awesome.

Yes, I read Judas Child awhile back. O'Connell is one of my favorite authors. ... new (to me) authors because of LT recommendations and reviews, including Carol O'Connell (the Mallory mysteries and Judas Child), Guy Gavriel Kay (The Lions of al-Rassan and Tigana and Ysabel), Eoin Colfer (the Artemis Fowl series), and Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files series). ... ... one of my favorites this year. Actually, I "discovered" O'Connell this year and read all the Mallory mysteries as well as Judas Child. I sure hope she continues writing about Mallory.
Happy New Year! Ditto. Oops, my clicker finger was a bit too fast on the draw. ... remember 2007 as a stellar year for having "discovered" O'Connell. Did you read her non-Mallory thriller/mystery yet? Judas Child is just amazing!

Honorable Mentions in Fiction (which would have made the list if I wasn't forced to hold the number of favorites at 5)
Storm Front by ... Judas Child is one of my favorites, Storeetllr. When I finished it I thought, "Did that really happen? How did it happen?" Wow. O'Connell really threw me for a loop with that one. The second time I read it I had to give credit to O'Connell's skill because I knew how it would turn out and I could ... ... frenzy it's true. All four that I did manage to get in were good, in different ways, but I think my favorite had to be Judas Child by Carol O'Connell (4.5/5). On the other hand, I had a great time reading The Civil War by Julius Caesar (I wasn't able to rate it ~ it seemed to me to ... 98. Judas Child by Carol O'Connell. 4.5 stars. It would have been a 5, but the end just blew me away, and not in a good way. I mean, it was a good ending, but I didn't like it. It made me upset. That's not bad, of course, but...
Okay, this is really disjointed, but I don't want to give ... From the library today: Slan by A. E. Van Vogt (on the recommendation of an LTer in the Science Fiction group); Judas Child, a non-Mallory mystery by Carol O'Connell; and Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde (another reccie by LTers). ... the little boy who grows into a man at the forefront of the battle of good versus evil and for his friends.
Find Me, Judas Child and Dead Famous by Carol O'Connell have also gotten me good.
Tess of the D'Urbervilles. ... -
I am so happy that someone else has discovered O'Connell. I've been dying for someone to discuss her with. Judas Child is a stand-alone (her only, to my knowledge); there's no Mallory, but it will devastate you. ... a more universal story of growing up in the 1950's.
4. The Lovely Bones by Alice Seabold - Reminded me very much of The Judas Child by Carol O'Connell, but not nearly as well-written.
