Hardly Knew Her Audiobook

" I like this author and enjoyed this book, it was a collection of short stories, a pick up and read when you have time...I will def be reading more of her work. "

" Superb writing, if not exactly uplifting as the characters in some of the stories are sociopaths. "

" I knew in under 5 minutes that I wouldn't listen any further. "

" "Hardly Knew Her" is a collections of short stories. I was a bit taken aback at the ending of the first one. Then, I read another and could start to see every story was going to end with someone's untimely death by the hands of another character. The author cleverly drew in characters from previous stories in the ending chapter. I thought many of the stories would be good Alfred Hitchcock episodes. Some were funny and others not at all. A very interesting read. "

" Good collection. Enjoyed the stories about the porn lady. "

" I love this mix of stories. "

" This is a collection of short stories. Although rougher subjects than I usually read I did enjoy them. "

" I'm not a fan of a lot of short stories but these were good. I like her novels much better though (: "

" Some people can write novels, but can't write short stories. Some people can write short stories but struggle with novels. A few people can do both well. Laura Lippman is one of those people. This was a solid collection. "

" I'm halfway through and liking it a lot. I'm a fan of short stories with twisted characters, and this is up my alley. "

" this was not one of Laura Littman's best - its a set of short stories, with unappealing characters. Not worth the time.... "

" I really enjoyed the Tess Monaghan stories and the last - longer - story in the collection. The stories which were originally written for magazines were too thin (without character depth or emotion) for my taste. "

" Short stories by Laura Lippman....love her writing, just didn't like the subject matter very much. I didn't finish this one.... "

" This is for my October book club selection. Wonderful "

" I don't like her short stories as much as her novels. "

" I really enjoyed this book of short stories. Endings were surprising and she even mentions my home town in one of them. My home town is small so it was a nice surprise . A thoroughly enjoyable read. "

" Reminded me a bit of Roald Dahl's "Tales of the Unexpected," although the number of stories that ended in murder made this book a bit more like "Tales of the Expected" by the end. "

" These funny & occasionally creepy short stories are definitely worth reading! "

" Unusual crime stories with humor and unexpected twists, mainly featuring Baltimore settings. Can read them before going to sleep. :-) Enjoyed it. "

" I really, really, really enjoyed this book of stories. It was a quick read, and I am a big fan of Lippman's in general. Very twisty and interesting, and I highly recommend it. "

" eh. I must have purchased the one online for only 1 short story. It was just ok. "

" This is an amazing writer. With just a few words, you get a feel for the narrator of the short story, and get sucked in right away. Even though the stories are short, they are memorable and very vivid. They are sort of mini-movies in my brain. "

" Loyal Lippmann fan here have read all her books and always look forward to the next one. Great story teller and always interesting the way her characters are the story and not just in the story. "

" I am generally not a big fan of short stories, but I was on a Lippman high and I've read all of her other books. This is a fun and diverse collection, great for picking up and putting down. "

" An interesting collection of short stories ranging from the questionable to the bazaar, Lippman weaves together a book full of suspense, sexual tension and of course murder. "

" These are short pieces about people who kill. There is something really intriguing about all of the set-ups---each one a different situation and motivation. This is the closest you can get to murder being like a box of chocolates. "

" I am generally not a big fan of short stories, but I was on a Lippman high and I've read all of her other books. This is a fun and diverse collection, great for picking up and putting down. "

" audio -- short stories the muders kind of get old but I liked the stories with Heloise -- the madame for a mature audience "

" A very entertainig collectioln of eccletic stories. "

" Some good stories, a few I really liked, but also a lot of predictable endings. "

" compiled of short stories, I will give it two stars for Laura Lippman, and only her name, didn't like the book at all this is not the lippman I like to read! and I couldn't even finish it! not like me normally when I pick up a book it's start until finish. "

" I liked this book and the writing a lot, but I think a full-length book would be a lot more satisfying. "

" This is a collection of short stories. Although rougher subjects than I usually read I did enjoy them. "

" This was either free or on sale from amazon. It's not my type of book. Though it is well written, and the characters interesting, the easy attitude of killing and murder is a bit too much for me. "

" I usually prefer novels over short stories, but this collection is just so wickedly delicious that I have to recommend it to all Laura Lippman readers and all mystery fans. "

" weird ... but can't put it down "
