'[Lippman] only seems to be getting better.' Entertainment Weekly 'A first-rate collection.' Booklist FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SUNBURN AND DREAM GIRL The award-winning master of psychological suspense is in top form in this collection of diverse and diabolically clever stories. A married couple - longing for that old romantic spark - creates a playful diversion that comes with unexpected consequences. A husband's secret cell phone proves to be a dicey temptation for a suspicious wife. Lippman's beloved Baltimore PI Tess Monaghan keeps a watchful eye on a criminally resourceful single father. In eleven brilliantly crafted stories of deception, murder, dangerous games, and love gone wrong, Laura Lippman's sharp and acerbic stories explore the contemporary world and the female experience through the prism of classic crime, where the stakes are always deadly. Readers love Seasonal Work: ***** 'These stories are the best I've ever read. I want to read everything this woman has written.' ***** 'Such a unique collection of short stories. All excellent. I couldn't wait to finish each one.' ***** 'Fantastic Stories!!! Her short stories blew me away!' ***** 'Phenomenal. . . proof that you don't need 250 pages to write a killer story!'
