Lady in the Lake by Laura LippmanRead about another entry on the list.
There’s no one better at literary noir than Laura Lippman, and she bumps things up a notch by weaving this tale around a real-life murder in a Baltimore park lake. And it’s not just that a woman was killed there; it’s how her body was found, after people complained about the lights not working in the lake’s fountain. When city workers go to investigate, they discover the grim cause: the woman’s decomposing body had shorted out the wiring. A fresh and original take on the dual-timeline creeper.
Lady in the Lake is among CrimeReads' ten best crime novels of 2019.
