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.

That is weird! you're right. P.S. I know I owe you an email.

I loved My Murder too and have been recommending it to anyone who'll listen!
SO good.

Good luck!
What a great list! I'm adding My Murder to my TBR right now. :)
Let me know what you think!
Everyone seems to be loving My Murder. Guess I'll have to add it to my shelf.
Okay MY MURDER has been on my shelf since this summer!!! I can't believe I still haven't read it! I will dig it out of moving boxes ASAP!
It blew my mind.
Just added My Murder to my cart, your review is excellent! Thank you!
Enjoy!
Adding My Murder to my list ... wonder if it might be a good one for my book club?
Would be a great book club pick. Lots to discuss.
Cracking recommendations - thank you!
Thank you!
You just sold me on My Murder and My Life as a Villainess. Excited to read both - thank you!
Same! I need these two books in my life immediately.
Me too -- I just put a hold on both of those as well.
Enjoy!
I loved My Murder! A book I’ll want to re-read in a few years.
