What I'm reading

What The Dead Know by Laura Lippman

I started this book a few days ago and it's a real page turner! It's the story of two sisters, the Bethany girls, who disappeared 30 years ago without a trace from a Baltimore shopping mall. At the beginning of the book, a woman is involved in a traffic accident and when questioned by the police, claims to be the younger Bethany sister. Although at first she is reluctant to answer the questions everyone wants answers to (where has she been for 30 years? Who kidnapped her? What happened to her sister?), eventually she tells her tale... which investigators discover is full of dead ends.

Who is this woman and why has she come forth after all of these years? Well, that's what I'll hopefully find out tonight when I finish the book - the suspense is driving me crazy!

If you like to watch shows such as "Without a Trace", "CSI", or "Cold Case", then you'll love "What the Dead Know" by Laura Lippman - it's available at the East Brunswick Public Library!

Actually, no it's not but the author wrote a note at the end to say that it was inspired by the case of two girls who went missing when she was a girl growing up in Baltimore.
