Laura Lippman
Rezensionen
"Fast-paced and unpredictable, Sunburn is a smart, sly riff on love in a world of trouble that's puzzling until the very last piece falls into place." - O, the Oprah Magazine

"Cool and twisty." - New York Times Book Review

"A masterful mix from a total pro." - People

"Every time Laura Lippman comes out with a new book, I get chills because I know I am back in the hands of the master. She is simply a brilliant novelist, an unflinching chronicler of life in America right now, and Sunburn is her dark, gleaming noir gem. Read it." - Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl

"Laura Lippman continues to push the envelope of modern crime-writing. Sunburn, her take on noir, may be her nerviest novel yet, an unsparing look at how lovers can betray one another." - Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Suspenseful as hell, and she writes like a dream [...] Lippman's always good, but this is a cut above." - Stephen King

"Modern noir at its best, it will delight old-movie lovers, satisfy suspense readers, and reward Lippman's legion of fans." - Library Journal (starred review)

"You can tell how much fun the author had updating the classic noir tropes, and it's contagious. Plotty, page-turning pleasure." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"This is Lippman at her observant, fiercest best, a force to be reckoned with in crime fiction." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Ingeniously constructed and extremely suspenseful, the novel keeps us guessing right up until its final moments. Lippman is a popular and dependable writer, and this homage to classic noir showcases a writer at the height of her powers." - Booklist (starred review)

"I feel like it creates a whole new category, which I'm thinking of as 'femme noir' [...] She's taken this traditional noir structure of a man sweeping in to save a woman who then turns around and eats his heart out-she's turned that notion on its head." - Wall Street Journal

"The ingenious plot evolves into myriad twists that are as believable as they are surprising [...] Sunburn delivers one of the year's most intriguing mysteries." - Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers

"Another extraordinary novel from Laura Lippman-full of just-one-more chapter, stay-up-late suspense, but packed too with nuance, subtlety, observation and humanity. Lippman is a natural storyteller at the height of her powers." - Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Sunburn was dark but not too dark, thrilling, richly descriptive with an utterly compelling protagonist...I read this book at a furious pace and never forgot about it all year. Sunburn was a reminder that storytelling matters and good storytelling is all too rare." - Roxane Gay

"spellbinding [...] this corkscrew of a book, with its psychological insights and sensual charisma, proves once again that Ms. Lippman, as a writer, is sui generis." - Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal

"Great book. Well paced. Beautifully observed details. Interesting characters and nuance in the right places. [...] Thoroughly enjoyed this book and the protagonist who is flawed and brilliant and ruthless and unapologetic." - Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author of Bad Feminist and Hunger

"A tantalising, ingeniuously constructed page-turner." - The Guardian

"Grips like the classic Hollywood black-and-white movie thrillers of the 1930s and 1940s. Sunburn unsettles from its first page." - The Times (London)

"Note-perfect noir...not to be missed." - Megan Abbott, Edgar Award-winning author of Dare Me and The Fever

"A pacy, pithy modern take on the noir tradition...terrific entertainment." - Sunday Mirror

"For once the blurb doesn't over-promise. Lippman writes the best opening pages of any thriller so far this year." - Daily Mail (UK)
