About this listen

Audie Award Nominee, Best Thriller/Suspense Category, 2013

New York Times best-selling author Carol O’Connell has won a wide fan base with her popular novels starring NYPD detective Kathy Mallory. In The Chalk Girl, a little girl is abandoned in Central Park—with her uncle’s body in a tree not far away. Recognizing a kindred spirit in the girl, Mallory takes the case. But her investigation soon leads to a trail of murder and blackmail spanning 15 years.

Don't understand this author's lack of fame!

What did you love best about The Chalk Girl?

The story itself is a masterpiece. Carol O'Connell is so very talented that it boggles my mind that she is not as well known as some other authors of the genre. The performance was pitch perfect as well. I love, love, love Mallory and all the "supporting" characters.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Most definitely.

Have you listened to any of Barbara Rosenblat’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. This is her best performance yet.
