This is my first Tess Monaghan novel and my first Laura Lippmann novel. I throughly enjoyed it. The mystery with all the Poe nods was awesome! Their motivations were believable. The characters were interesting and I want to see someone them again. I liked that multiple people were right about the mystery. Baltimore was a character in this novel. That was a great addition. I will be reading about Tess again.
