PS your review of My Murder reminded me I’ve meant to look up her earlier book, Tell the Machine Goodnight! (Less strange plot but still interesting—seems to satirize positive psychology.) It’s surprising how often we can be delighted by an author and yet we don’t immediately go and purchase earlier works—as many authors have noted. Fans more often want the NEXT one.

I requested "My Life As A Villainess" from the library because I mistook Laura Lippman for Elinor Lipman, whose books I enjoyed (I don't read mysteries). It was a great book!

I went to my library app to see if I could reserve My Murder and weirdly I can, even though they don’t have it yet. I’m excited to think I’m first in the queue.
