Baltimore Blues by Laura Lippman7/5/2023 But there’s more, much more to the story, and Tess shows why she was a good reporter as she starts to hunt it down. Then Ava’s boss, lawyer Michael Abramowitz, ends up dead, and Rock’s the lead suspect. Soon, Tess discovers Ava’s got a habit of taking things that don’t belong to her. And that’s the first thing that gets her in trouble. Tess isn’t a private eye, but she’s willing to try. He asks Tess to help him find out – and he’s willing to pay her to follow Ava to find out. His fiancee Ava is hiding something, and he’s not sure what it is. Then her friend Rock comes to her with a problem. And she has an off-again, on-again relationship with a fellow reporter, one who DIDN”T get downsized out of the industry. She rows, she exercises, she eats and she sleeps. Her one passion was writing, and she can’t seem to find anything to do besides be stuck in her rut. Then she was downsized, and now she works in her aunt Kitty’s bookstore, does some work on the side for her uncle Donald, and is basically treading water. No, it’s not my reaction to last night’s Red Sox – Orioles game (although boo to Baltimore! How do you keep winning against us?) Baltimore Blues is the first book in the Tess Monaghan Mysteries series by Laura Lippman, and I am very, very thankful that my mother introduced me to this unlikely sleuth.
