Book Reviews of What the Dead Know

Book Review: I loved this book!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is not a genre I typically read and frankly I had never heard of Laura Lippman. I bought this book on a whim because it sounded fascinating. I was not disappointed. The story was engrossing and the character development - especially for a relatively short novel - was vivid and striking. I will remember this book for a long time to come. I do have to admit that I was a bit disappointed with the ending as it was somewhat anticlimactic after such a complex and intense build up, but I can live with that. I will definitely be reading more Laura Lippman in the future.

Summary of What the Dead Know

Thirty years ago, the two Bethany sisters, ages 11 and 15, disappeared from a Baltimore shopping mall. They never returned, their bodies were never found, and only painful questions remain. How do you kidnap two girls from a busy mall on a Saturday afternoon without leaving behind a single clue or witness? Now, decades later, in the aftermath of a rush-hour hit-and-run accident, a clearly disoriented woman is claiming to be Heather, the younger Bethany sister. Not a shred of evidence supports her story, and every lead she reluctantly offers takes the police to another dead end-a dying, incoherent man; a razed house; a missing grave. But there is something she knows about that terrible day . . . and about a family that disintegrated long ago, torn apart by an unthinkable tragedy and the fissures it revealed in a seemingly perfect household.
