DESCRIPTIONS

<p>“This is a standout.”<br />—<em>Orlando Sentinel <br /></em> <br />“One of those books that publishers like to say ‘transcends the genre,’ but in this case it’s true.”<br />—<em>Chicago Sun-Times</em></p><p><em>Every Secret Thing</em> is a riveting story of love and murder, guilt and innocence, adult sins and childhood darkness that the <em>New York Times Book Review</em> hailed as, “powerful…disturbing.” Stepping away from her acclaimed, award-winning mystery series featuring Baltimore private investigator Tess Monaghan, author Laura Lippman has delivered a novel of psychological suspense that will shock and mesmerize readers, gripping them to the page while breaking their hearts. The tale of a terrible event that devastates three families, after two young girls discover by of an unsupervised baby on an empty street, <em>Every Secret Thing</em> is a bravura demonstration of the extraordinary storytelling skill that has won Laura Lippman every major literary prize bestowed upon mystery writers, including the Edgar®, the Anthony, the Shamus, and the Agatha Awards. <br /></p>
