The Girl in the Green Raincoat

A Tess Monaghan Novel

De: Laura Lippman

Narrado por: Linda Emond

“Lippman is a writing powerhouse. ”

—USA Today

“I love her books.”

—Harlan Coben

New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman—winner of the Edgar® Award and every other major literary prize given for mystery and crime fiction—embroils Baltimore p.i. Tess Monaghan in the strange case of The Girl in the Green Raincoat. Originally serialized in the New York Times, The Girl in the Green Raincoat is now in book form for the very first time—a masterful thriller in the Alfred Hitchcock mode that places a very pregnant, homebound Tess in the center of a murderous puzzle that could cost her her life and the life of her unborn child.

I love Lippman and Emond is great!

I am a huge Laura Lippman fan - I've listened to all her novels. This story follows a recurring character named Tess, a private detective. It is a Rear Window-esque story with some nice little twists. I loved it but I wanted more. It was only 4+ hours long and not enough for me. Linda Emond is the very best at reading Lippman characters. I love to listen to her.

Quick listen

I live between Baltimore and DC so I could relate to the area in novella. It was a good quick listen with a great narrator. I will seek out other stories by this author.

Rear Window with a twist

Linda Emond does an excellent job narrating this story. There were some very unexpected twists to this plot. I am growing very fond of the characters in the Tess Monaham series. I enjoyed it and will look for another book by Laura Lippman.

A wonderful side trip for Tess Monaghan Fans!

Although Tess remains front and center in this novel, the feel of this shorter novel is something of a departure for our heroine. Laura Lippman pays homage to the work of other mystery masters, involves all our favorite characters from her previous books, and saves the best for last.

If you like Laura Lippman, you will love this one!

A great cast of characters

After the conclusion of the book, the author talks about the process by which she wrote it— in particular referencing Rear Window — and the stories within the story which made it such a good read for me. I do hope that Laura Lippman will write another book with Tess Monaghan, Crow, Lloyd, and their crew of dogs as central characters.
