Laura Lippman’s forthcoming stand-alone novel Lady in the Lake has received a trifecta of starred reviews!
"The story is bigger than the crime, and the crime is bigger than its solution, making Lippman's skill as a mystery novelist work as icing on the cake. The racism, classism, and sexism of 50 years ago wrapped up in a stylish, sexy, suspenseful period drama about a newsroom and the city it covers."
—Kirkus Reviews
review
"Riveting…. This is a superb character study, a terrific newspaper novel, and a fascinating look at urban life and racial discrimination in the ’60s…. Lippman's critical acclaim and sales figures continue to climb, and this genre-crossing thriller will extend her reach still further."
—Booklist review
"Smoldering…Lippman’s fans will devour this sophisticated crime novel, which captures the era’s zeitgeist while painting a striking portrait of unapologetic female ambition."
