Welcome to Litsy!

Second time reading this. I didn't remember anything about it from reading it nearly 10 years ago. This time I listened to the audiobook, which was good. I am a big Laura Lippman fan.

8-5-22: My 75th finished book of 2022! Bambi and Felix meet in 1959. They start a beautiful family of 3 daughters. Over time, Julie becomes a fixture in Felix‘s life, too. Then one day, Felix disappears leaving these 5 women to grieve. In 1986 there is a murder that is never solved until 26 years later a consultant for the Baltimore police opens the cold case. Told from 1959-2012 by all character‘s perspectives. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣7️⃣5️⃣

Really enjoyed this mystery looking at if (or how) a man‘s disappearance impacts his family and his mistress. This was definitely a very well done character driven novel; by the end, I felt like I had a good sense of the characters and the motivation for the crime(s) actually made a lot of sense. Definitely will read more from this author.

My first Lippman and I quite enjoyed it. While primarily a crime novel, it also incorporates a family saga and all the drama, humor and heartache one would expect. It's not a fast paced thriller by any means, but instead the crime serves to bind or separate, depending on the advancing years. A few minor plot holes, but not enough to distract.

Decent mystery. Wasn't super engaged by the story. I'll give her another try.

This cold case mystery set in Baltimore features a cast of fascinating women with interesting names (Bambi, Juliet Romeo) that unspools back and forth between the past and current events over a disappearance and murder. Twisty!

Average mystery loosely based on an actual case. By the time I found out who the killer was, I had lost interest. Chapters went back and forth in time making it confusing at times-- especially once they merged together. ⭐️⭐️
