Last Place | Laura Lippman
8 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
When New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman s Tess Monaghan investigates five cold case murders, she doesn t expect the investigation tobecome personal Tess Monaghan agrees to look into a series of unsolved homicides that date back over the past six years despite the fact that the assignment originates from a troubling source: wealthy Baltimore benefactor Luisa O Neal, who was both instrumental in launching Tess s present career and intimately connected with the murder of Tess s former boyfriend.Apart from the suspicion that each death was the result of domestic violence, nothing else seems to connect them. Five lives four women, one man ended in various ways. The only thing the five cases seem to have is that they are now ice cold. Tess search for the connecting threads takes her beyond the Charm City limits and into dangerously unfamiliar territory. With the help of a police officer obsessed with bringing a murderer down, she follows scant leads into the remotest corners of Maryland, where a psychopath can hide as easily in the fabric of a tiny, rough-hewn fishing community as in the alleys and shadows of bustling Baltimore.As she strays far from everything that s familiar and safe in her life, Tess is suddenly cast into a terrifying cat-and-mouse game with an ingenious slayer who changes identities as often and effortlessly as clothing. But at last, a single link to the murders emerges. Unfortunately, it's Tess."

I knew I would use a Laura Lippman book for Maryland. In The Last Place, our intrepid PI Tess Monaghan finds herself at loose ends and gets drawn into a sketchy series of cold cases that take her out of the city of Baltimore to just about all 23 counties in Maryland plus some in Virginia too.

HOWEVER...this means I can‘t use Sunburn for the Delaware #mystery so I‘m looking for #recommendations

#50states

Kaye I haven‘t read these but some ideas are Port Mortuary ( Cornwell) , Hawkes Harbor ( Hinton ) , Dead Wrong ( Stewart). , True Justice (Tanenbaum). Good luck. 🍀 6y
Susanita @kaye Thanks for the suggestions! Some interesting possibilities. 6y

#slaythatseriesreadathon I finished one book and I'm 2/3 of the way through a second. I also finished an audiobook. Technically it was just after midnight, but I'm counting it!
@Tiffy_Reads This was such a fun idea for readathon! Thank you!

Given that I was out 4/7 nights this week, I'm happy with my 1658 pages (plus 295 of my attempted Book 6, The Last Place). I'll be ready for Winter 2018!!!
