The Last Place
The Last Place: A Tess Monaghan Novel | Laura Lippman
8 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
In hot legal waterand court-ordered therapyprivate investigator Tess Monaghan accepts an assignment with a local nonprofit organization to review police documents for inconsistencies and investigative blunders surrounding five unsolved Baltimore homicides. The cases seem unconnected except for the suspicion that each brutal death was the result of domestic violence. But curiosity is soon pulling Tess off the paper trail and into dangerously unfamiliar territory, as she joins forces with a police officer obsessed with bringing a murderer down. Scant leads and intuitions are pointing the disgraced p.i. toward the most remote corners of Maryland, where a psychopath can hide as easily in the fabric of a tiny fishing community as in the alleys and shadows of Charm City. And a single, shocking common thread seems to be tying all the loose ends together into one bloody knot: Tess Monaghan herself.

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

Kaye I haven‘t read these but some ideas are Port Mortuary ( Cornwell) , Hawkes Harbor ( Hinton ) , Dead Wrong ( Stewart). , True Justice (Tanenbaum). Good luck. 🍀 5y
Susanita @kaye Thanks for the suggestions! Some interesting possibilities. 5y

#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!!!
