This was a great little story. I have not read anything by Laura Lippman before but this was a great taste of her writing that has peaked my interest in this author.This story is about a mother who takes her toddler to a children's book store and stumbles into an interesting mystery, and I don't mean a book. Theft is getting bad at his particular shop and Tess decided to take the case for free.I can't say to much more about this story because I don't want to give anything away, and I would highly recommend you read this if you enjoy a good mystery. I am a big fan of books, and I love the small book shops as well as the big chains. If there are books to be bought I am there, I connected with this story, because I could see my wife doing this same type of sleuthing to save a small book store.Something you will hardly ever hear me say, and my wife looked at me like aliens took her husband, but this was a cute story. The characters as are great, and the story was written so well I couldn't put this down. I flew through this in no time and I am so glad I read it. I will be checking out more by Laura Lippman in the future. I really liked her writing.
