I'm a voracious reader, and recently found and have devoured all 9 of the "Kathy Mallory" books by author Carol O'Connell. I've loved them all, and I strongly encourage you to read them all - IN THE CORRECT ORDER.
While I love all of these books - each one develops the primary protagonist - Kathy Mallory - and her cohorts in crime - Charles and Riker - I REALLY loved this last book - FIND ME.
The book is really 2 separate stories interwoven into one cohesive whole. What a unique mind to create such unique characters and events.
While the human stories contained within this book are great, the book also celebrates another - called the "Mother Road", Route 66 comes alive in the pages of Find Me. For those of us Baby Boomers, the historical and musical references in the book only enhance the story line.
I hope that this is not the last in this series!!

This is the eighth book in a remarkable series that focuses on Kathy Mallory, a New York police detective with a unique past and personality. Mallory was found as a child living on the streets, unable to remember much of her past. She is possessed of amazing abilities in computers and analysis; she is also emotionally remote and unable to give or receive love. Nonetheless, she is fiercely loved and protected, very first by her adoptive father, the late detective Louis Markowitz, and now by two friends, her partner, the hard-bitten alcoholic Riker, and her friend and fellow genius Charles Butler, a big, goofy, and warm-hearted psychologist.
While each of these books is held together by some kind of a murder mystery, taken together they are really quite an achievement, for they tell the story of several lost people attempting to make sense of the past, find meaning in a cruel and often violent world, and understand what it is to love and be a decent human being. To tell this story, O'Connell has constructed an entire alternate reality, which sometimes possesses elements of magic and the supernatural in unexpected ways. Because of the complicated structure and emotional themes of these books, they don't always work perfectly, and they're not for everybody. Still, O'Connell has really transcended crime fiction and created literature that I believe will have lasting merit.
In this book, Mallory continues to search for her past, going on a cross-country journey on old Route 66 to find out what happened to her father, who abandoned her before she was born. At the same time, she becomes involved with a bus caravan of parents of missing children trying to draw attention to their cause. Surprises ensue. A must read for fans of the series.

O'Connell has succeeded again in creating an intricate masterpiece where the subplots mirror the main plot, the characters are unique, and Mallory is slowly cracking showing she just might not be the total sociopath you thought she was. In this book, Mallory is searching for her father on Route 66, visiting monuments, restaurants, gas stations etc... that her father had talked about in a pile of letters for her. Meanwhile, a serial killer is out on the loose murdering the parents of the children that he has already killed. Mallory then must solve both cases at the same time.
The depiction of Ariel Finn was so graphic and heroic that I was actually brought to tears imagining the scene in my mind. O'Connell shines in the details; everything is palpable and just so odd we can really can see these things happening in real life. From a disturbed little girl humming Jack the Ripper to an old priest receiving calls with someone whispering "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned", O'Connell has created a thrilling but yet ultimately satisfying end to an amazing series.

I had a very hard time getting into this book. It starts okay, but quickly gets bogged down in to many people and off shoots. I didn't bother to finish it.
Rated by buyers -
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 very 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 Odyssey. I can't wait to see where she, Riker
and Charles go next.
