The Power of Three: Book summary and reviews of The Power of Three by Laura Lippman

Media Reviews

'Lippman scored big with her 2003 stand-alone, Every Secret Thing, but this one doesn't pack the same punch.' - Publishers Weekly.
'The homicide sergeant investigating the case delves into the world of high-school rivalries to come up with a motive, and the book derails from mystery into pop sociology. For Lippman fans only.' - Booklist
