Summer Reads: Laura Lippman

Laura Lippman has been recognized as a distinctive voice in mystery fiction and named one of the “essential” crime writers of the last 100 years. In her latest work, Prom Mom, Laura tells the story of Amber Glass, desperately trying to escape her tabloid past but compulsively drawn back to the city of her youth and the prom date, who destroyed everything she was reaching for. Stephen King called her “special, even extraordinary,” and Gillian Flynn wrote, “She is simply a brilliant novelist.” Her books have won most of the major awards in her field and have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. She lives in Baltimore and New Orleans with her teenager. Books will be available for signing and purchase.
