Lady in the Lake
by Laura Lippman
Thank you to Laura Lippman, Netgalley, and the publisher for providing me an ARC of "Lady in the Lake" in exchange for a honest review.
This was an intriguing novel about Maddie Schwartz, a middle aged suburban housewife, who decides she wants a more meaningful life. Maddie decides to leave her husband and son to pursue her dreams. Maddie assists local police in finding the body of a murdered girl which leads to a job opportunity at the local newspaper. While working for the newspaper, Maddie wants to tell the story of a woman whose body was found in the fountain. Maddie has to fight with sexism and racism in 1966 Baltimore to uncover what happened to the "Lady in the Lake".
As a native in Baltimore, I love Laura Lippman's writing about the area. It makes me feel like I can see the story unfolding outside my front door. This novel will be intriguing to many due to the issues that still cause issues in 2019 Baltimore (and other areas of the country).
