The Girl in the Green Raincoat by Laura Lippman
My rating: 3 out of 5 stars
The Girl in the Green Raincoat is a quick, easy read with a modern day Alfred Hitchcock Rear Window sort of feel to it. Our protagonist is Baltimore private investigator, Tess Monaghan, who is on doctor-ordered bed rest during the final weeks of her pregnancy. As someone with a normally active life and overactive mind, Tess's interest is piqued by a woman dressed in a green raincoat walking her dog wearing a matching dog coat. A few day's later, a bored-out-of-her-mind Tess is concerned when she sees that same dog running frantically through the park without its owner.
A mystery is born. And with that, Tess's energies are spent trying to solve the puzzle of the missing woman all from her window overlooking the park. With the help of her friend, Whitney, Tess launches an investigation that leads to the questionable deaths of 3 other women.
I had never heard of Tess Monaghan before reading this book. But apparently there is a whole series of Tess Monaghan novels out there.
This is the type of book that is perfect when you are wanting something simple and quick. I read it while we were in the process of moving and it was perfect for that. Not too intense, easy to put down when needed, but also easy to pick back up. So if you are looking for a quick, easy weekend read, this is a good one for that.
