I‘m a big Laura Lippman fan, and this 2012 novel is a great read. A twisting mystery with high end prostitution at its center. The characters are interesting and complicated. I found the arc of Helen‘s life, as she became Heloise, entirely believable and I rooted for her success. Unfortunately:
“No one is safe in this world. This best we can do is create an illusion of safety for your children as long as possible” (p. 310)
