Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
NYPD's Lieutenant Norah Mulcahaney (Lockout, 1994) confronts daunting professional and personal challenges in this unconvincing addition to her generally compelling series. As a sequence of suicides rocks the police force, Norah's nanny faces a family emergency and leaves the adoptive mother of preschooler Patrick without any help at home. Unable to find a reliable replacement, Norah does her best to oversee the investigation from her living room, a situation that doesn't sit well with her higher-ups. The conflicts of a single professional woman trying to raise a child are accurately portrayed, as are the loyalties and suspicions that reign within the force. Veteran mystery writer O'Donnell stumbles here on the plot, proposing a hard-to-credit motivation and means for the accumulating deaths. Norah's mentor, Chief James Felix, who is top aide to the police commissioner, comes under assault only days before Norah realizes she has been targeted too. Little suspense and an unprepared-for plot twist that sets up the resolution call for greater suspension of disbelief than readers will be able to summon. (May) FYI: O'Donnell also writes the Gwenn Ramadge mysteries and the thrillers starring Mici Anhalt.

This review is from: Blue Death (Hardcover)
This was a very good book. You never knew who the killer was until the very end. Ms. O'Donnell kept you on the edge of your seat the whole story.

Doesn't add up,
By C. Blanc "Chris Blanc" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blue Death (Hardcover)
The author attempts, like most in this time, for a far-out metaphorical premise that can somehow tie the whole thing together into movie rights, eventually; yet, despite all this planning,and the daily life resemblances of its characters, it is very predictable in that there's a hidden catch which literally divides the book in two -- once you know one detail of backstory, the entire thing comes together like a four-piece jigsaw puzzle and the rest is reading to fill. I wouldn't bother.
