Query: The best Mallory book yet.

I've read in some of the other reviews discontent with this book and I find it perplexing. This was, by far, the best book of the bunch. The main characters have been developed, the "mystery" of Mallory's past revealed in Stone Angel and, finally, Ms O'Connell can just spin out good stories without the soap opera nonsense of a "mysterious" past (which I endured because the rest of the stories were so very good).This book is a deliciously interesting story of magic, madness and betrayal in the very best tradition of classic Doyle and Christie. If you are looking for a 90210 script dealing only with the love-life and past of the protaganist with story as a very minor background note you will want to look elsewhere. If you want a rich story that will captivate you and surprise you ... this is the one.
