I don't read a lot of crime fiction, but that might change after reading Every Secret Thing. Lippmann writes believable characters, including detectives who don't feel cliched. Good dialogue too. We should invite her to join #TheLauras.

Am I the only one who feels compelled to look up design stuff mentioned in books? One of the characters is very proud of her "Russell (sic) Wright" barware. Apparently this is said Russel Wright set. Eh. I'm so over mid century modern.

AllenTStClair I don't look up design items as much as specific items of clothing from the past (i.e. Paletot). 7y

LauraJ @AllenStClair Yeah, I'd have to look that up too! 7y

azulaco I do this too. I'm too curious about what exactly these things look like. And then there's everything implied about the characters by that particular style or brand. I don't want to miss out on those extra details. 7y

ValerieAndBooks I look stuff up all the time when I'm reading 😊! It's hard to remember pre-technology life before info was readily available! 7y

This was recommended to me as a scary book. I'm 2/3 into it and it's not scary, but it's holding my interest.

This book was definitely a page turner. I had such a hard time putting it down that I got in trouble at work. ?? The writing is fantastic and the author does it great job at the slow reveal. I kind of guessed that "she" was a sociopath early on but there was still a few surprises! There is not a single likable character in this story and it is kind of depressing but I loved the book anyway.

Loving this book so far! I just wish I had more time to read. Also, hello, name is Diane and I am a Dr Pepper addict. 👋🏻 I hope everyone is having a great week! 😃📕

LauraBrook Hi Diane! My name is Laura and I have a mild Dr Pepper addiction. My Mom, however, has a full-blown problem. 🤘🏼 8y

Laura317 My college friends and I had a saying, "if you can't get a Dr., get an MD!" (Dr. Pepper or Mountain Dew). While MDs are too much for me today, I still enjoy the occasional DP. 8y

MyNamesParadise I saw the movie that this was adapted into starring Elizabeth Banks and Dakota Fanning! And I have that bookmark! 8y
