Already praised as “a writing powerhouse” (USA
Today) and “among the select group of novelists who
have invigorated the crime fiction arena with smart,
innovative, and exciting work” (George Pelecanos), New
York Times bestseller Laura Lippman is constantly
sending reviewers back to their thesauruses in search of new
and greater accolades.
Her brilliant stand-alone
novel, And When She Was Good, only reinforces the
fact that she stands tall among today’s bestselling
elite—including Kate Atkinson, Tana French, Jodi Picoult,
and Harlan Coben (who raves, “I love her books!”) Based on
her acclaimed, multi-award-nominated short story "Scratch a
Woman," And When She Was Good is the powerfully
gripping, intensely emotional story of a suburban madam, a
convicted murderer whose sentence is about to be overturned,
and the child they will both do anything to
keep.
Lippman has already won virtually every prize
the mystery genre has to offer—the Edgar®, Anthony, Agatha,
and Nero Wolfe Awards, to name but a few. They’ll now have
to invent a few new awards just to keep up with her.
