I was less than impressed with What the Dead Know which I also recently read. It made me not want to read any more Laura Lipmann books, although I admit that detective mysteries are not my "thing".
Finished What the Dead Know by Laura Lippman and have started Bachelor Brothers' Bed and Breakfast by Bill Richardson. #8. What the Dead Know by Laura Lippman. Outstanding. I think I'll start reading her Tess Monaghan series to see if I like them. Congratulations on making your goal!
I liked What the Dead Know, but then, I like mysteries.
