Critic Reviews
"I love her books." (Harlen Coben)
"Exquisite as fine jewellery." (Lee Child)
"A writer at the peak of her powers." ( Washington Post)
"Lippman [demonstrates that the] best action is inside her characters' minds.... Lippman fans won't be disappointed." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"One of the most distinctive voices in contemporary fiction.... Lippman has once more challenged, realigned and ultimately transcended the boundaries of genre." ( New York Observer)
"Succeeds brilliantly.... Lippman is in total command of her material...a mystery so taut the reader is nearly afraid to keep going - and simultaneously powerless to stop." ( People Magazine)
"From its gripping opening pages about a burned-out author's bookstore reading, Laura Lippman's Life Sentences may be the most absorbing, entertaining mystery published in the last year. Lippman does it all, from creating vivid, three-dimensional characters, to painting a beautifully detailed portrait of her hometown, Baltimore, to crafting a plot that drives readers along at a fast clip while simultaneously building suspense as one dramatic revelation leads to another." ( Boston Globe)
"A terrific crime writer." ( Daily Mail)
"Intricate and witty." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A gripping novel." ( Closer)
