Laura Lippman - On the Air

Last week I mentioned Laura Lippman, her latest book, What the Dead Know, and her upcoming appearance at the Enoch Pratt Central Library. A fine interview with her is now archived on NPR's Weekend Edition website.

An even more compelling archived video interview is Lippman's conversation with Harry Smith on the Early Show. Lippman's passion for story telling never shows more than when she's on camera.

Listen, watch and enjoy. Here's a miniscule excerpt from what the Washington Post had to say:

It's an all but flawless performance by a writer at the peak of her powers. It was Lippman's destiny to drive past that shopping plaza and write this novel. If you only know her from her Tess Monaghan series, or if you don't know her work at all, read "What the Dead Know."
