Laura Lippman’s Pick for Best Book of 2023
We asked Laura Lippman for her favorite book of the year, and this is what she suggests to readers.
Prom Mom
This exquisitely crafted tale of triangulation and treachery builds slowly to a shocking ending. It’s a future COVID classic that pairs well with Lippman’s long-form essay The Summer of Fall and other love and revenge stories such as those in her 2021 collection Seasonal Work.

Seasonal Work: Stories
Fans of the author, as well as anyone who enjoys mystery short stories, will find more than one entry in this collection to love.

Dream Girl
Lippman’s (Lady in the Lake) fans will want to have this audio alternative. Is it a great psychological mystery, or a long, contrived journey to Gerry’s demise? Lots of humorous literary allusions make it a writer’s book. Recommended.
Dream Girl
Lippman (Lady in the Lake) nods at Stephen King and Alfred Hitchcock in this hair-raising tale, but makes it wholly hers and completely riveting. She conveys the horror of being housebound and reliant on strangers, as well as the fear of losing one’s mind. It’s a page-turning, plot-twisting masterpiece.

Lady in the Lake
While short of the adrenaline-fueled suspense of other Lippman stand-alones (Sunburn), this work captures a time and place as it mixes fact with its fiction, plus a protagonist who challenges norms. With its well-drawn characters and lucid prose, this newspaper novel shines. [See Prepub Alert, 1/23/19.]
