Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Gripping, intricate, and deeply felt, Laura Lippman is as good as ever in this thriller…Linda Emond gives a reading that is at once reserved (as Heloise feels she is in her life now) and evocative of the nuances of Heloise’s story. Heloise’s cool demeanor, under siege as crisis follows crisis, is conveyed by reader Linda Emond with skill and clarity; and the underlying emotions are expressed subtly and skillfully. And When She Was Good is gripping to the end; the listener will not soon forget Heloise and her world.” —SoundCommentary.com
“There’s much to contemplate and enjoy in Lippman’s honest and fascinating novel about a victimized woman who at least on the outside has firm control on the reins of her life, even as we are enthralled by the day-to-day details of being a suburban madam.” —USA Today
“Ms. Lippman…cares less about mayhem than about ways for Heloise to adapt her talents to changing times. Call it sustainability: this book gives Heloise power, versatility and the gift of foresight, all of which serve her well in a crisis. Ms. Lippman’s nominal subject may be prostitution, but her book is not about a woman who takes care of clients. It’s about a woman who can take care of herself.”        —New York Times
“A novel about the power of sex and money and influence…Its story of the transformative power of motherhood is as compelling as any thriller.” —Boston Globe
“Excellent…Lippman delivers an intense character study about a strong, complex woman whose love for her son compels her to make some desperate choices.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
