About this audiobook
New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman has been hailed as one of the best crime fiction writers in America today, winning virtually every major award in the genre. The author of the enormously popular series featuring Baltimore P.I. Tess Monaghan as well as three critically lauded stand-alone novels, Lippman now turns her attention to short stories—and reveals another level of mastery.
In Femme Fatale, a chance encounter in a Starbucks introduces a 68-year-old widow to the world of fetish porn and to a way out of her money worries.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I usually love her short stories but this one fell flat. I never actually got the point of it & there was no real climatic ending that left you guessing or shocked which is usually the tone of her short stories. I listened with no real interest to this one. This was a snooze.
