Laura Lippman's Sunburn
I tend to like Lippman's stand-alones better than her long-running Tess Monaghan series, but this wasn't one of my favorites. Set in the summer of 1995 (and there are many references to tell you so), it centers on a mysterious woman who has left her family behind for mysterious reasons, and the mysterious man very interested in her affairs, and their inevitable relationship. I found both characters somewhat sympathetic and interesting, but found the end to be something of a letdown. It’s still an enjoyable read, just not one of Lippman's best. B.
