Description
Tess didn't want to take on the case in the first place - and now it's getting dangerous - and far too close to home... From the author of SUNBURN and LADY IN THE LAKE
Winner of the Nero Award
Every time Laura Lippman comes out with a new book, I get chills because I know I am back in the hands of the master. She is simply a brilliant novelist, an unflinching chronicler of life in America right now
Tess is feisty ... It is a joy to watch her come alive
A rare find: a puzzle so finely calibrated that each new disclosure brings revelation and deepening mystery at the same time, as well as a sense of place so unerring it makes Baltimore everyone's hometown
Solid crime that'll keep you wondering 'til the end what the boys at the top get up to
The story flows easily, the dialogue is realistic and the characters sharply drawn ... a good introduction to this experienced crime novelist's work
One of the best novelists around, period
[Lippman] only seems to be getting better
Laura Lippman is among the select group of novelists who have invigorated the crime fiction arena with smart, innovative, and exciting work
One of the most polished and consistently interesting writers of detective fiction today
One of America's most important literary voices
Lippman has enriched literature as a whole
A force to be reckoned with in crime fiction
What makes THE SUGAR HOUSE so satisfying is the complexity of plot and character. This is the fifth entry in an already admirable mystery series, and Lippman and Tess make the deserved transition from paperback to hardcover with ease. Both just keep getting better
Before becoming a full-time novelist, Laura Lippman was a newspaper reporter for many years.
