Critic reviews

"Lippman's second Tess Monaghan novel is a perfectly good mystery, but even more, it's an homage to the city of Baltimore." ( Booklist)

Narrator is not that great. Hard to keep characters dialog straight. Story was so so.

Disappointment

The narrator was hard to listen to, I’ve listen to a lot of Tess Monaghan books and this narrator was my least favorite. Her voice was distracting and a lot of the characters sounded the same but yet it felt over acted.

Ugh the narrator

One of my favorite Lippmann books yet! The narrator was excellent (I didn't let myself be dissuaded by the negative reviews of this narrator--I really liked her), and the story is inventive and smart.

Great story with literary allusions

Not a thriller (which is good). The pace is a bit slow, but a rich and interesting mystery is laid out in a leisurely rate. The character development is outstanding. The narration is outstanding and greatly enhances each character, and the city itself.

Excellent

I’m a true Baltimorean and love the Tess Monaghan series, but this one really hit home...I grew up in the Poe Homes on Amity Street!!! I loved this one...can’t wait to start on my next book in this series!

Best One Yet!!!
