Lippman is a New York Times bestselling author, famous for her detective novels set in Baltimore. Wilde Lake follows lawyer Lu Brant as she investigates a present day murder while also delving into her family's secretive past. The novel is slow to gain momentum and I found the alternating perspectives--told from third person in the present day, first person in the past--to be clumsy, making it even more difficult to become absorbed in the plot.
