Dead Famous by Carol O'Connell

5.0

I am a huge O'Connell fan and after being disappointed with "Crime School" I wanted to say I'm delighted that she is more than back in stride with "Dead Famous." I was worried that the huge popularity of Mallory would force O'Connell into a corner...not being allowed the freedom to weave her wonderful stories in the way she knows best (don't forget the gripping non-Mallory "Judas Child" ). But by switching the focus to Riker in this novel, she has let her readers have another white-knuckle ride through a fabulous plot with a bit of Mallory and Charles blended in. She creates the most complex, fascinating characters. You learn so much more about Riker and truly are drawn to mysterious Johanna. It is a very intense, rich and emotional story.
