The Sugar House by Laura Lippman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Sugar House features Tess Monaghan, an eminently likable private investigator with interesting, complicated relationships and a good eye for the missed (by the reader) detail. I like how Baltimore is treated like a character in the book and how Tess interacts with the city, both through memory and in the present. As usual, Lippman delivers a good mystery with a dramatic side of personal story.
