A Tess Monaghan Novel

Janice Hopper

I've recently seen Laura Lippman mentioned in the news or on some of my favorite sites, so I was curious how her novels were. I picked this one to try.

And it's fine. It's a mystery introducing a new protagonist, Tess Monaghan. Tess is unemployed, and her rowing friend, Rock, is having problems with his fiancee. Then he gets accused of murdering his fiancee's boss, because he thought the boss had coerced the fiancee into sex. 

After that, things get kinda complicated.

Like I said, it was fine. It read easy, though I didn't find it to be compulsively readable. But you could find worse ways to spend a few hours reading. Not sure I'll pick up other books of hers soon, but I might.
