In Big Trouble: A Tess Monaghan Novel Audiobook

" A mystery with some adventure. Interesting characters. I give it 3 1/2 stars. "

" I should probably be spacing these paperback thrillers showcasing newcomer private detective Tess Monaghan a little more apart, but I can't help but be drawn into a quick and fun read when I am traveling. This mystery revolves around an open homicide in Texas, and while the writing continues to improve, it is still just your basic murder mystery. "

" I'm split in half about this book. I read it quickly like a handful of candy, like many of Laura's other books. But if this were the first Tess book I've ever read, I'm not sure I'd have ever picked up another one. In this book Tess gives the impression of being sure she's right about everything, spoilt and childish. I found her rather unpleasant company, when normally she's one of the best parts of the books. I imagine being away from her beloved Baltimore was at least part of it, but it's yet more proof that Laura does Baltimore best of all. "

" Good solid book. Nothing too genius but entertaining enough. "

" Reading in order. Not my favorite. "

" I really like this series. I enjoy the author's writing, and I like the narrator a lot. By the end I was really hoping for Tess and Crow. I guess we'll see where the next one takes us! It's just a lot of drama that she gets herself into. Her job makes the perfect excuse for the most part, but it's still so crazy. "

" Tess travels to Texas to see why her ex Crow is "In Big Trouble." "

" Loved getting to see Texas through Laura Lippman's eyes, given her descriptive powers when it comes to place. "

" This was a quick, fun mystery. Tess Monaghan is a private investigator, hired to find her ex-boyfriend by his family. The search leads her to San Antonio where she finds him easily, but realizes he is in a bad situation. A few twists and turns along the way, but nothing too surprising. "

" I really like that Lippman's books are so full of place. This one was especially good that way, and it wasn't even in Baltimore--it was about Texas. "

" I read this two or three months ago and liked it. I don't always add every book I read in a series if I don't have anything new to say. This one is a change of scene, since Tess goes to San Antonio in search of her former boyfriend at the behest of his parents. "

" I love all her books but this one was a little slow and plot was weak. Loved the characters as always. "

" This was a fun read, mostly for the local flavor of both Baltimore and Texas. "

" Always enjoy her books, but I was a little disappointed by the change of milieu. Not that I don't like Texas, but Tess belongs in Bal'more, hon! "

" Fourth book in the series and seems to be getting better with each one. "

" More personal growth from Tess, who I like more with each book. "

" This book was very mysterious a lot of suspense. "

" Skipped to the last chapter... not a great book "

" Audio CD. Just finished this today & already picked up the next in the Tess Monaghan series. I am really enjoying this tour of Baltimore, though this book took me to Texas- still- decent adventurous mysteries with lots of surprises. "

" Just can't stop reading this series. What a great vacation find! "

" This book was set in Texas. Very well researched and fun to read. I want to go back and write down all the restaurants listed to see if they actually exist. One of her best books. "

" This is the 4th of the Tess Monaghan series. There were just a few too many murders in this for my taste or something. Though I did have it partially figured out before the reveal. Not my favorite story. "

" Although sometimes her twists are a little far-fetched, they are always unexpected and make for enjoyable reads. "
