Book: What the Dead Know
Author: Laura Lippman
Have I Read This Author Before: Yes (Lady in the Lake and Prom Mom), in both cases was hoping for more
One Sentence Summary: A girl ends up in a hospital following a car accident and claims to be the long missing daughter who disappeared with her sister 20 years ago.
Best Thing about the Book: I was curious as to the outcome
Worst Thing about the Book: It took a really long time to get there, during which, not much happens
What I Learned: ?
The Bottom Line: Three strikes and you’re out. The book continually switches back and forth between different time periods, with no warning or explanation and also switches frequently from narrator to narrator. If this confusion isn’t bad enough, NOTHING HAPPENS. I frequently contemplated giving up, but kept it up hoping for some redeeming feature
Would I Read this Author Again: No
Next Book to be Read by this Author: NA
