Unusual book
"After last year's acclaimed What the Dead Know, Lippman is back on home turf with the 10th installment of her popular series about Baltimore P.I. Tess Monaghan."--People
"Tess--funny, smart, empathetic as hell, and a colorful, irreverent storyteller makes a wonderful companion for this tale, in which disturbing vandalism and a stalker are just the harbingers of much worse problems,"--Seattle Times
[a] welcome addition to Tess Monaghan's adventures and an insightful look at the desperation that drives those grasping for a shot at fame and those who will do anything to keep it.--San Francisco Chronicle
You get everything in this book. There's a really good mystery which is almost secondary to the interaction of the characters - Hollywood's penchant for confusing illusion and reality is beautifully done - and the witty dialogue, full of smart film references, is totally believable.--Toronto Globe and Mail
"A juicy whodunit."--Entertainment Weekly
"Lippman is incapable of writing an un-compelling mystery,"--Baltimore Sun
Like lunch at Atwater's, Tess's latest leaves you fully satisfied but looking forward to next time--Kirkus Reviews
