Killing Critics by Carol O'Connell
4.0
Mallory is basically a non-verbal Sherlock Holmes. She is gorgeous, brilliant, perfect with weaponry, emotionally masked, above physical desire, and unerring.
Still, these books are pretty awesome. These are some evil characters and some pretty wooden dialogue (you never worry that a villain is going to turn out to have a good reason for doing stuff... a murderer maybe, but never a villain) but every once in a while there's a scene that just knocks you for a loop. Messy genre stuff that digs deep and connects.
