Rezensionen

"I genuinely loved it. Laura's such a good writer - intelligent and literate - and at the same time knows how to write a compelling plot. I would say a page-turner if it wasn't such a cliche...I really hope that this isn't the last we've heard of Mrs. Blossom!"
- Kate Atkinson

"Whenever a new Laura Lippman comes out there is reason to celebrate!" - Louise Penny

"Witty and propulsive. Lippman's fans will feel like they hit the jackpot with this warm and cozy romp." - Library Journal (starred review)

"Lippman triumphs with this charming mystery.... By the time the clever conclusion rolls around, readers will be sad to see this trip come to an end." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"The closest writer America has to Ruth Rendell...Extraordinary." - Stephen King

"Lippman, long recognized as a master of plot and exposition, has been serving up psychologically rich slices of karma for years. Prom Mom [is] one of her best books yet." - Wall Street Journal on Prom Mom

"I read this acid-dipped beauty in two desperate sittings. Pure James M. Cain noir at its delirious best, it moves so fast and so skillfully, you don't fully grasp what it's really saying (about men, women, desire) until its final stunning pages." - Megan Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of The Turnout, on Prom Mom

"The surprises, delivered close to Prom Mom's final pages, are the kind that might compel you to reread the whole story again, just to find out how Lippman layered this quadrangulate tale with clues and misdirection . . . . and how she managed to make such a classic form feel so of the moment." - Los Angeles Times on Prom Mom

"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." - Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl

"Lippman is a writing powerhouse." - USA Today

"Her writing is very slick and intelligent noir."
- Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"One of the smartest crime writers around." - People
