gimley reviewed The Most Dangerous Thing by Laura Lippman
Review of 'The Most Dangerous Thing' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
She makes the effort to actually write. That is, there are characters and insights and imagery and observations and turns of phrase, features often barely present if not missing entirely from this genre. I am now reading another of her books, a vote of confidence in the author.
That said, I'd have liked it to be a bit tighter and more focused. Just a bit. And something about the ending bothers me but I can't think of how to say it. Something about how it leaves you unsatisfied in a way that I can't quite put my finger on. Best I can do is--it's probably the same feeling you have at this point when reading my review.
