No Good Deeds: Book summary and reviews of No Good Deeds by Laura Lippman

No Good Deeds Summary

For Tess Monaghan, the unsolved murder of a young federal prosecutor is nothing more than a theoretical problem, one of several cases to be deconstructed in her new gig as a consultant to the local newspaper. But it becomes all too tangible when her boyfriend brings home a young street kid who doesn't even realize he holds an important key to the man's death.

No Good Deeds Reviews

"After Lippman's crossover stint (To the Power of Three etc.), Tess is better than ever." - Kirkus Reviews.
"Baltimore itself is the book's most compelling character, its uneasy mix of aspiration and decay perfectly suited to Lippman's ironic voice." - Publishers Weekly.
