A Tess Monaghan novel. She is bedridden and very pregnant with Carla Scout.
She notices a young woman in a green raincoat walking a dog and one day, the dog runs by without the woman.
Man has two wives and one girlfriend die of mysterious circumstances and the disappearance of this woman looks like he's a contemporary Bluebeard.
The book is only a novella and what I love about Lippman's writing is her brilliant character development and eloquent settings, and all of that is missing in THE GIRL IN THE GREEN RAINCOAT. It's pretty barebones and reminds me of why I hate Agatha Christie. It's a terrific plot, but it doesn't enchant.
Many of the characters reappear in her books and although a stand-alone, I felt like I was 'in the middle' of something.
