Wondering if you read Dare Me.

That makes a lot of sense - I went into the book with a set of expectations, and I should adjust my mindset. <br /><br />Actually, I do want to read Flynn's other books because she is so talented. I have not heard of Laura Lippman; I'll certainly look out for her novels as well.<br /><br />Alison DeLucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979026382091362305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650569269425389350.post-47585316693838421482012-11-20T12:00:12.040-05:002012-11-20T12:00:12.040-05:00Hi Alison! I'm a big fan of yours :)
Sorry y...Hi Alison! I'm a big fan of yours :) <br /><br />Sorry you didn't like this as much as you'd hoped. Your friend should have probably told you that Gillian Flynn writes very..."raw" stories. That is actually what I love most about her. I'm *really* looking forward to reading GONE GIRL, because I think she is a genius. But I can understand being taken aback by this novel if you hadn't read any of her others, like SHARP OBJECTS. Talk about harrowing... phew!<br /><br />Have you ever read any Laura Lippman? I love her also - she's different from Flynn, to be sure! I'd say she's in between someone like Flynn and the true "cozy" mysteries (most of which are too tame for me). I bet you might like her :) She is from Baltimore and that is where her stories are set. She has a long-running series (with an awesome kick-butt female PI) and also some stand-alones. BALTIMORE BLUES is the first in the Tess Monaghan series. Check her out if you haven't read any of them and are looking for some great mysteries! http://www.lauralippman.com/all-books-in-order/<br />Holly Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281574165037823036noreply@blogger.com
