Prom Mom by Laura Lippman was all talk and no action and even the characters made less sense. They would appear so temperamental. Catch our take of the book at

Laura Lippman’s I’d Know You Anywhere - in <100 words

Convicted creep, rapist, and murderer, about to be executed, reaches out to the one victim that lived.

That victim still wonders: why did he spare her?

Instead of tearing up his letter and going on her merry way, the victim writes him back. Husband, sister of victim say this is a brilliant idea!

Dual timeline: as the creep continues to talk to his victim, we get flashbacks of 20+ years ago, during the victim’s extended abduction.

Final verdict: didn’t go where I expected it to. Quiet and reflective rather than twisty and shocking, but still well-paced. Recommend.

Laura Lippman –Lady in the Lake

Just one evening with an old school friend and Maddie’s life is not what it was anymore. Her life with her husband Milton and their son Seth simply isn’t what she wants anymore and so she makes a courageous decision for the year 1966: she leaves. Now completely on her own, she wants to make real another dream: becoming a journalist and when she, by pure chance, comes across the body of a young girl and soon after again of a woman, she seizes the opportunity of her first contact with the press. It is especially the second case of the “Lady in the Lake” as she was named that turns in her mind. Nobody seems to be really care about who murdered Cleo Sherwood, just because Cleo was black. Maddie knows that there must be a story behind it and that this can be her chance to really become a reporter.

Laura Lippman’s novel is one of the most talked about books of 2019 and it only takes a couple of pages to understand why all this praise is more than justified. “Lady in the Lake” is the perfect combination of a crime novel and the story of a woman who follows her will and is brave enough to do this against all societal conventions. The setting is all but favourable for such an undertaking and Lippman’s lively portrait of Baltimore of the 1960s underlines with which severe consequences such an attitude came in these days.

The most outstanding aspect of the novel is surely the protagonist. Maddie Schwartz is the perfect Jewish housewife – until she isn’t anymore. She remembers the young woman she once was, surely a bit stubborn, but to put it positively: she knew what she wanted and she got it. So why should she be pleased with the second best life? She definitely is a bit naive, but her sympathetic authenticity is the key to the people and this makes her story convincing and plausible. Times were harsh, above all for black people and the novel gives a good impression of what this meant in everyday life. It is not an open accusation of segregation and the different kind of treatment of people of colour or even a political statement, but simply a fact and thus an integral part of what the characters experience.

I also liked the constant change of perspective and how Lippman integrated different points of view which also gives a good idea of someone like Maddie was perceived in her time. This also make the narrative lively and varied. I had some high expectations due to the masses of admiring reviews I had read, but nevertheless, the novel surpassed them easily.

Buongiorno lettori! Oggi sul blog vi parlo di un libro insolito, ma che mi ha dato degli spunti di riflessione 😊 Sunburn è una storia particolare, forte. È la storia di una madre disposta a fare di tutto pur di dare alle figlie una vita migliore. In un certo senso ha un lieto fine, ma non quello che si aspetta sicuramente il lettore. Perché una vita all’insegna delle bugie, degli intrighi e degli inganni può portare solo dolore. A oggi vi posso dire che nonostante sia una storia forte e sostanziosa, Sunburn mi è piaciuto molto. Polly, non avrà scelto il modo migliore di agire e sicuramente ha dei problemi psicologici, ma è una donna che non si arrende mai e che non smette di sperare, nemmeno quando tutto sembra andare per il verso sbagliato. È stata una lettura coinvolgente e molto scorrevole. Incuriosisce così tanto da non riuscire a smettere di leggerlo. Consigliato a tutti gli amanti del genere noir e a chi ha voglia di perdersi in una storia importante, per niente banale, una di quelle che lascia il segno. Voi cosa ne pensate? Come sempre trovate il link in bio della recensione completa 😘 . #fralibrierealtà #instabook #instalibri #instablogger #blogger #recensionilibri #sunburn #lauralippman #deaplaneta #noir #thriller #libridaleggere #libri #librichepassione #libriconsigliati #book #bookstagram #booklover #bookblogger #bookcommunity #bookaddict #bookgrammer #bookreviews (presso Palermo, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwoPPt6neG-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qhz6t98goesn

“It’s like that joke you tell when you’re a kid: I’m painting a picture of myself painting a picture of myself painting a picture of myself.” 📰✨📰✨📰 It actually took me the longest time to read Lady in the Lake by Laura Lippman. The premise started of so intriguing, but then the story quickly turned into a newspaper novel and became hard to read. I also didn’t like how the perspectives in each part kept changing, with only Maddie’s and Cleo’s characters staying constant. Thi an Book also touched on topics like segregation, racism, antisemitism and misogyny, but didn’t seem to do anything with them. While the last third of the book was interesting, especially when the twist of the mystery came about, the first two parts were incredibly flat and hard to read. I really wanted to love this book, but it didn’t really mesh with me. 📰✨📰✨📰 Lady in the Lake is book 21 for 2020. #bookstragram #books #booksofinstagram #booklover #bookphoto #reading #aussieswhoread #avidreader #booklover #aussiereader #bookdragon #reader #readersofig #booksofig #bookcommunity #bookish #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #booklife #bookaddict #girlswhoread #readinggoals2020 #bookquote #ladyinthelake #ladyinthelakebylauralippman #lauralippman #greenandyellow #flatlay #mehmystery #wantedtolovebutdidnt https://www.instagram.com/p/B86IIT0gyWw/?igshid=15imwaj7qfcup

📚 BOOK REVIEW: Lady in the Lake by Laura Lippman . 💌 My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️/5 . ✏️ My Review: The story was good and well delivered. Most of the characters were far from being likable but that was intended by the author. The story had a noir feeling and I like that. I was not completely surprised by the end and found it a bit anticlimactic. Overall it is an enjoyable read, just don’t expect a spectacular ending. . ☕ QOTD: What is your favourite piece of technology that you own? . . #dogsandbooks #poodles #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #poodletoday #pawsandbooks #petsandbooks #poodlesandbooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #book #books #booklover #bookish #bookdragon #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookaddicted #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #ladyinthelake #lauralippman #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/B1OUnq_AKjV/?igshid=1w6ab0vvhubhd

Segnalazione "Sunburn" di Laura Lippman

Segnalazione "Sunburn" di #LauraLippman

Sinossi

Quando approda al bancone dell’High-Ho con la schiena bruciata dal sole e un cocktail in mano, Polly Costello è una donna in fuga. Da un passato difficile, dai troppi errori commessi, o forse soltanto da se stessa. Ma l’energia diffidente e inquieta, da gatta selvatica, che tenta di nascondere dietro a una cascata di capelli rossi non passa inosservata. Neppure qui, nel vecchio diner per…
