I'd Know You Anywhere
The Washington Post – Patrick Anderson: I've read hundreds of thrillers in the past 10 years, and some have been excellent, but only a handful?thanks to their insights, their characterizations and the quality of their writing?could equal the best of today's literary fiction. Those few certainly include What the Dead Know and I'd Know You Anywhere. In both cases, Lippman began with a real crime and then used the magic of her imagination to produce novels that are not only hypnotic reading but serious meditations on the sorrows and dangers of this world. Some people would segregate Lippman as a crime or thriller writer. That's a shame. She's one of the best novelists around, period.
