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., "This collection of a dozen delightful stories from Lippman ("Tess Monaghan" series; Dream Girl) feature resourceful women from many walks of life... A must for Lippman fans and devotees of female-empowerment crime fiction." -- Library Journal (starred review) "All in all, this is a first-rate collection, an obvious must for the legions of Lippman fans, but also great reading for anyone who savors short crime fiction." -- Booklist (starred review) "Clever, well-paced, laced with humor and insight--damn fine short stories." -- Kirkus Reviews "Lippman displays her uncanny understanding of human nature and all its foibles in this worthy collection of 12 stories involving deceit, violence, and psychological mayhem." -- Publishers Weekly "Some writers are good at novels but not short stories (or the other way around); Lippman aces both... they put on display Lippman's skill at crafting suspense, her way of dropping a detail deep into the story that skews the reader's perspective a little -- or a lot." -- Tampa Bay Times "Laura Lippman's chronicles of Baltimore--and the human heart--shine in this collection of 12 short stories that examine betrayal and emotional blackmail that can spiral out of control. . . . Long-time fans of Lippman will devour Seasonal Work, which also serves as an entry point for new Lippman readers." -- Florida Sun-Sentinel ""A masterful collection... Zipping through this section of the collection is inevitable." -- Woman Around Town "Her celebratory gift to avid fans and new readers alike is Seasonal Work, an electrifying collection of short stories, which includes a compelling new novella. Lippman is a literary luminary, shining as brightly as the towering, red neon Domino Sugars sign that proclaims "Home" to returning Baltimoreans." -- BookTrib "[Lippman] only seems to be getting better." -- Entertainment Weekly, "This collection of a dozen delightful stories from Lippman (Tess Monaghan series; Dream Girl) features resourceful women from many walks of life...

Well paced. Beautifully observed details. Interesting characters and nuance in the right places. [...] Thoroughly enjoyed this book and the protagonist who is flawed and brilliant and ruthless and unapologetic., Haunting . . . extraordinary . . . Lippman, who is the closest writer America has to Ruth Rendell, is after bigger game. The arc of Maddie's character--her mid-1960s 'journey,' if you like--reflects the gulf which then existed between what women were expected to be and what they aspired to be., "This collection of a dozen delightful stories from Lippman ("Tess Monaghan" series; Dream Girl) feature resourceful women from many walks of life... A must for Lippman fans and devotees of female-empowerment crime fiction.", Inspired by the unsolved death of Shirley Parker... Lippman's ambitious novel weaves some 20 points of view into a seamless, vivid whole. The novel demonstrates that Lippman, a former Baltimore Sun reporter, is both a skilled journalist and a masterful novelist., [Lippman] tells a classic mystery through the prism of many characters, all feeling the reverberations of dawning feminism and racial tension in civil-rights-era Baltimore...Lady in the Lake is aching, thoughtful, and compulsively readable., Baltimore in the mid-1960s is the setting of Lady in the Lake, the latest novel from the ever impressive Laura Lippman...Lippman's book is revelatory, too, in showing the personal and professional costs to others--friends, loved ones, sources, witnesses--of Maddie's single-minded quest for achievement and recognition.
