Not anything to argue about with the 11th book following Tess Monaghan. Tess pulls a Hitchcock and after spying on a young woman in a green raincoat realizes she hasn't seen her for a while and worries that something happened to her. Tess can't do much investigation in this one, and relies on Whitne...
I Have this thing about series. Is it my need for instant gratification? Fear of commitment? Low attention span? So I hadn't read any of the other books, and had no idea who Tess Monaghan was. She was a joy to discover. Courageous, determined, yet lost and afraid of a destiny she could not cont...
Tess Monaghan is a private investigator in Baltimore, but unfortunately as she enters the third trimester of her pregnancy she is put on complete bed rest. This is especially hard for a woman who uses her keen observations to solve crimes. Now all she gets to observe is what she can see out her wind...
This one was interesting. I was not aware that this came out chapter by chapter in a periodical before being put together in book form. Having listened to it now, that makes more sense. Each chapter was a bit of a story itself. I've read all the previous Tess novels, and I'm truly not sure how this ...
I always enjoy reading about Tess and Baltimore so was happy to see this finally published in book form since I had tried reading it when it was originally published on the New York Times website but found the format distracting. There was quite a bit of plot squeezed into 158 pages and I was surpr...
I don’t know what drew me to this book. I don’t normally read private investigator novels, and I’m usually not a fan of P.I. series — I like how Nick Hornby put it in The Polysyllabic Spree:My problem is that when I’m reading a novel, I have a need to believe that the events described therein are de...
I'm a big fan of the movie, Rear Window and this book played off that movie. I really enjoyed the mystery (and love when I don't figure things out till the book tells me). Fun read that I had a hard time putting down!

If you've seen Hitchcock's "Rear Window" and appreciated his stunning work, you'll love The Girl in the Green Raincoat. Similar to the movie, this book deals with a woman who must be content spending her time watching other people through a window. Tess watches the mundane events that occurs outside...
Excerpt from Linus's Blanket - The Monaghan books are a different breed of book than the stand alone that I read. I can see how those who enjoy the series, might not find her other works not to be their cup of tea. Life Sentences had a much grittier feel with literary leanings and very detailed c...
