Sinopsis de BALTIMORE BLUES

A very special kind of twisted genius. SARAH HILARY

A natural storyteller at the height of her powers. LEE CHILD

A TESS MONAGHAN MYSTERY


Meet Tess Monaghan - ex-Baltimore Star reporter and accidental PI - as she investigates cases of murder, corruption and injustice in Charm City . . .

Until her newspaper, The Baltimore Star, crashed, Tess Monaghan was a first-rate reporter who knew her home town intimately - from historic Fort McHenry to the crumbling projects of Cherry Hill. Now gainfully unemployed, shes willing to do any freelance job to pay the rent - including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy Darryl Rock Paxton.

In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitzs death should be just another statistic. But the lawyers notoriety and his trysts with Rocks fiancée, make the case front page news - and make Rock the chief suspect. . .

Anyone that likes mysteries, even a little bit, should read this book and the rest in the series! 5* reader review

PRAISE FOR THE TESS MONAGHAN SERIES

Tess is a heroine with a nose for what she is not being told, and she is never content with half the story. These Baltimore novels are effective thrillers, because they are stories about wanting to know what happens next. Times Literary Supplement

Whip smart female protagonist, gritty Baltimore setting. Loved Tess! 5* reader review

Readers wont be able to resist Tess, who, like one of Baltimores famous crabs, sports a tough shell that hides a sweet centre. BOOKLIST

Digestible, fun, tense NPR

In this series, Lippman has developed sturdy tales, wry humour, and snappy dialogue wrapped around an insiders view of Baltimore. SUN-SENTINEL

Tess, is a ballsy, free-spirited woman who thinks on her feet and has a commanding physical presence. . . Highly recommend 5* reader review

What fun! I discovered a new (to me) mystery series. Tess Monaghan is a terrific main character. 5* reader review

I really have fallen in love with Tess Monaghan. These mystery novels well deserve the awards Lippman has won. 5* reader review
