The Book Thing by Laura Lippman
5.0
This is the first of two Laura Lippman stories I didn't know about. This is made even better (or worse, depending on your perspective) by the fact that it's a Tess Monaghan story.
Everything about this story was perfect. I love the fact that it's set around various Baltimore bookstores. (There is a Children's Bookstore in Baltimore, although it's not this one, and The Book Thing is also real.)
And I especially love the fact that it's a Tess Monaghan story. Tess has been gone for ages, although we have a new novel-length installment of her series coming up soon.
This one is just a short story, but it's wonderful.
Highly recommended.
