When authors come to libraries they are often asked about where they get their ideas. Ms. Lippman talked about her latest book, Life Sentences, in which a memoir writer with a poorly received novel goes back to nonfiction and tries to find her childhood classmate, Calliope Jenkins, to get the real story of what happened to her. Jenkins was sent to prison after not speaking at her own trial where she was convicted of killing her son, though the son has disappeared and is actually presumed dead. Publishers Weekly magazine reviewed Life Sentences as a "stunning stand-alone from bestseller Lippman". 

She also talked about her New York Times bestselling novel, What the Dead Know, as well as her Tess Monaghan series, beginning with Baltimore Blues. 

Ms. Lippman was very impressed with our new library and is a very big fan of libraries, particularly public libraries. She comes from a very literary family, with her father a retired editorial writer for the Baltimore Sun, her mother a public school librarian and her sister, a bookseller.
