The New York Times loves Laura Lippman.

Well that sure brought up for me that mine was a knee jerk reaction.<br />

I am too. As I look at the opening of this piece again I realize it could be construed as something other than my absolute delight in Laura's making the list. Perhaps I was being a bit too clever for my own good.

Pretty much the whole value of earning a place on the NY Times Best Seller list is that it makes your career. From then on, your books will earn high enough advances that you're financially secure and therefore can afford to take some risks. Laura has worked hard and has more than earned her place, and I'm thrilled for her.

I'm no fan of the Times Best Seller list and never buy books according to it's content. But like the Academy Awards, once in a while the thing is deserved. That's the case here, Lippman's book does several things for the crime reader. It keeps you guessing litterally to the end, it has lovely writing and it makes you think about things as you read making it a pleasure to be taken on this ride. I have always been a fan and I really liked Every Secret Thing too but this book is the definition of…

I reviewed some of Laura’s Tess Monaghan novels: well, good stuff, but I gave them no extra thought after having read. To say it in the words of the great Laurie Anderson: What you read is what you eat, there’s no difference between the words in the book and the pictures they make in your mind. But then I read „Every secret thing“ and THAT made the difference. A story worth a second reading in your mind, building the story behind the story.

But then I read „Every secret thing“ and THAT made the difference. A story worth a second reading in your mind, building the story behind the story. Laura caught us with thrill and was installing that other movie: about women, about racism, about love. The only thing I didn't like was the novel's German title: Dangerous Angels (Gefährliche Engel). But that's another story and Laura's not to blame...
