Laura Lippman

13 Series

Laura Lippman is an American author known for her detective fiction, notably the Tess Monaghan series, inspired by her former career as a reporter. She is the daughter of a Baltimore Sun writer and began her own career at the same newspaper. Lippman is married to David Simon, the creator of The Wire, whom she met during her time at the Baltimore Sun.

Laura Lippman's "What the Dead Know," also titled "Little Sister," explores the mysterious reappearance of a woman claiming to be a long-missing girl. "I'd Know You Anywhere," known also as "Don't Look Back," delves into the chilling reunion between a kidnapper and his victim. In "The Most Dangerous Thing," alternatively published as "The Innocents," childhood secrets resurface to haunt a group of friends. "By Hook or By Crook" is a collection of stories featuring contributions from notable authors such as Dana Cameron and Mary Higgins Clark. Each work showcases Lippman's skill in weaving suspenseful narratives with deep psychological insights.
