"The story involves the last months of Tess's pregnancy. This book was originally installments in a paper and now is available in book form. This is a very short book; however, it is excellent as always. " — Barb (4 out of 5 stars)
"The story involves the last months of Tess's pregnancy. This book was originally installments in a paper and now is available in book form. This is a very short book; however, it is excellent as always. "
“This entertaining romp leaves plenty of hints of detective-mother exploits to come.”
“Another winning entry in the series…It’s always an event when Laura Lippman, who has won every major crime-fiction award going, delivers a new Tess Monaghan story.”
“Lippman's trademark crisp prose, smart plotting, and appealing protagonist—whose physical limitations here make her no less feisty and resourceful when faced with danger—make this an essential addition to a winning series.”
“Lippman's slender tale, serialized previously…brings back her feisty star detective at her most belligerent, most vulnerable and perhaps most appealing.”
“Tess Monaghan is back and spunkier than ever…A wonderful read. Lippman is really advancing her characters, pushing and challenging them. As always, Tess is a great character with an original and snarky voice. Lippman is an engaging writer, one who is never afraid to take risks and it pays off in The Girl in the Green Raincoat.”
" a chick-lit mystery with a pregnant protagonist. now THIS is my niche!. it was light and very enjoyable: i finished it in 2 days. it gets 4 stars for being fun, not for being world-class literature. "
" While on bed rest for a difficult pregnancy, Tess watches a girl in a green raincoat walk her dog everyday. One day the dog appears dragging his leash and there is no sign of the girl, which leads her to investigate her disappearance from her bed. Small easy reading book. "
" Good audio book. Only 4 CD's. "
" This writer was off on tangents so much I lost the thread of the story. Then the resolve of the story (Where did the girl in the green raincoat go?) was way before the end of the story. I finally figured out the real story was about having a baby, whilst solving a mystery. "
" I gave this book a 3.5 stars and really enjoyed it. I will continue with the series :D!! This one was a test run if I was even going to start the series or not, I AM :D!!! "
" This book was pretty good. Not great, but certainly not bad, either. It's actually more of a novella than a book, since it's a very short, quick read. It was a nice little mystery though, with a bit of a twist at the end. "
" Quick easy read. Nothing special but enjoyable. "
" Quick and read. story of a pregnant PI on bed rest that solves a mystery from he chaise lounge. Not gripping at all, but a light and fun read. "
" A small book packed with a great story! "
" I probably would give it 2 1/2, but... I read it on the plane to Boston, and put it down without finishing the last 3 pages - so it must not have been that great... I didn't have the mystery figured out, so that was good. "
