Author Laura Lippman continues to transcend her mystery-writer roots with another fine single title, Life Sentences. Cassandra Fallows is a successful author of very revealing memoirs, whose recent venture into fiction was poorly received. A chance snippet on CNN reminds her of the fate of a former classmate, Callie Jenkins, who went to jail rather than reveal anything about the disappearance of her infant son. As Cassandra searches for Callie - literally and metaphorically - she learns that the way she remembers events does not always mesh with how other players do. Cassandra faces different sorts of danger thant Lippman's wonderful PI, Tess Monaghan, but the secretive, small-town nature of Baltimore, their mutual city makes, as always, a lively character in itself.
