What the Dead Know
by Laura Lippman
This one kept me up late finishing it. I hadn’t finished a book in one shot in a while. It’s a real page turner, and the twist ending still surprised me.
In the seventies, two sisters disappeared from a mall and were never heard from until a hit-and-run driver 30 years later claimed to be one of the sisters. The action shifts between the present and the past and shifts between the perspectives of multiple characters. Lippman manages to give just enough clues as the book goes along to keep me curious and reading, without giving too much away.

I loved this one! I didn’t read it quite in one sitting, but definitely inside of a weekend. I was really surprised by the ending too, though my co-worker claims she had figured it out. Fie on her!
