In a Strange City Audiobook

" Fantastically Baltimore book, and a great mystery to boot. Maybe the best of the Tess Monaghan books to date. "

" This was my favorite Tess Monaghan mystery yet. Lots of information about Edgar Allan Poe and good commentary on how humans become obsessed with objects and things to their detriment. "

" Highly recommend this well-researched and well-written book. Many facts about Edgar Allen Poe. "

" I didn't like this one as much as the others. I don't really want anyone to solve the mystery of the Visitor, not even fictionally. "

" Not one of her better ones. "

" Another great Tess Monaghan mystery - makes me want to re-read Poe's stories and read some biographical information. "

" It is very weird to be reading this series, living in Baltimore. Really good mysteries. "

" I kind of lost interest in all the Poe referencing. "

" boring. what a let down after the exquisite I'd Know You Anywhere. "

" Always a winner with Laura Lippman. "

" This was my first Laura Lippman and I liked it very much. Tess Monaghan is a good addition to the female PI genre. I find series books tend to get boring after a while (Tony Hillerman excepted) because the main character doesn't change. I hope that doesn't hold true for Tess. "

" Listening to this one narrated by one of my favorites-Barbara Rosenblum. "

" excellent literary yarn "

" As I continue reading the Tess Monaghan series, I become more and more involved with Tess. Knowing that I only have about four books left in the series, I get a little sad. This series comes highly recommended by me, and all should check it out! "

" Lippman's books are like candy, can't get enough! "

" I really enjoy Laura Lippman's sense of humor, she is very witty. Tess is a great character she is not a complete idiot like some female leads. "

" It was okay... a pretty good tale... but the writing was sometimes annoying. "

" So far my least favorite of the Tess Monaghan series. I had a difficult time reading this one. "

" She's written much better. "

" Pallid characters. I never felt any tension or need-to-solve. "

" 3.5 stars really. I enjoy spending time with these characters, though the mystery was less satisfying than some others of Lippman's. "

" The convoluted and somewhat pointless plotting here wasn't up to Laura Lippman's usual standards, but Tess Monaghan is still one of my favorite fictional detectives. Read it to keep up on Tess's story arc. "

" This was an ok quick mystery read. "

" Okay but not as good as previous Tess Monoghan adventures "

" Great book especially if you like Edgar Allen Poe! "

" I kind of lost interest in all the Poe referencing. "

" Best one so far in the Tess Monaghan series. "

" This was an ok quick mystery read. "

" It was a interesting tale that evolved around a local tradition in Baltimore and Edgar Allan Poe. It was one of Laura Lippman's better works. "

" "In a Strange City" is the sixth Tess Monaghan by Laura Lippman. I have read the first five and enjoyed them all. This one sounded really good, but I was easily distracted from it and kept putting it down. It just didn't capture my attention like the others, so I gave it 2-1/2 stars. "

" Pallid characters. I never felt any tension or need-to-solve. "

" This was very drawn out and not as interesting as some of the previous ones. I'll continue, but I hope the narrator changes soon. "

" So far my least favorite of the Tess Monaghan series. I had a difficult time reading this one. "

" It is very weird to be reading this series, living in Baltimore. Really good mysteries. "

" I am starting to feel that I know Tess. "

" Let me see if I can sum this up appropriately: Boring boring boring Baltimore Baltimore boring Poe boring Baltimore Baltimore Poe boring boring Poe Baltimore. Yeah, that's it. "
