Laura Lippman, Hush Hush
The new book is so good!
"Crime fiction, good crime fiction, sneaks up on people. Safe in our armchairs or beds, we consider the unthinkable—the violent death of someone we love—and admit to ourselves how unsafe and random the universe is."
In this week's PEN Ten interview, guest editor Alex Segura talks to novelist Laura Lippman, author of the acclaimed Tess Monaghan detective series.
