"Powerful....A gripping tale that is a mystery only in the same sense as To Kill a Mockingbird was....Brilliant, insightful, moving." --Chicago Sun-Times There are excellent reasons why New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman has won the Edgar®, Agatha, Anthony, Nero Wolfe, and every other major award the mystery genre has to offer. To the Power of Three is just one of those reasons. Lippman's brilliant and disturbing tale of three inseparable high school girlfriends in an affluent Baltimore suburb who share dark secrets literally until death, To the Power of Three is this "writing powerhouse" (USA Today), who has "exploded the boundaries of the mystery genre to become one of the most significant social realists of our time" (Madison Smartt Bell) operating at the very top of her game. Not merely crime fiction, but fiction that gets to the deep psychological, emotional, and human roots of a terrible crime, Lippman's novel is one that will not be easily forgotten--a must read for fans of Kate Atkinson, Tana French, Jodi Picoult, and Harlan Coben… (más)

Much as I enjoy Lippman's Tess Monaghan series, I like her non-series books more. They tend to be more complex psychologically, and seriously unpredictable. And so is the case here.

Three girls. Perri and Kat met in kindergarten, and Josie joined them in third grade. The three became a set, all the way into high school. Until they didn't. For some reason a separation happened among the girls, some distance was created. It was unclear why. Then the unthinkable happened. One of the girls brings a gun to school. One girl ends up dead, another critically wounded, a third shot in the foot. But what really happened?

The story winds its way through the history of the girls, the story of another girl, the tragic tale of a car accident, and the interest of the guidance counselor. The detective on the case feels it isn't a simple murder-suicide case, as it appears to be, so he bides his time, carefully questioning the last girl and digging through their lives.

Enjoyable and absorbing. I like a book that makes me think about what goes on in characters' heads. ( )

Being a Laura Lippman book, this was a let down. Still very much readable, especially if you are bored. But, not up to her usual great writing. To me, it felt a bit slow through out the entire story. Then, the ending was not what I expected. To be honest, I expected something more than what it was. ( )

Synopsis: Three girls meet in elementary school and remain good friends through high school. In their senior year, one kills another and shoots the third in the foot - or was that what really happened?
Review: This really looks at interactions among girls and their friends and rivals. It also pulls in girls trying hard to pleases their parents. ( )

Perri, Josie and Kat have been best friends since third grade. Shortly before high school graduation one of them brings a gun to school and one girl is killed, another fatally wounded and the third shot in the foot. This sounded like it could be interesting but it really dragged. The author gives us way too much detail about random characters, some of whom seem to have no real relevance to the main story. It seemed to take forever for the "big revelation" to come and when it did it wasn't very shoking. ( )

Mit diesem Buch habe ich eine neue Lieblingsautorin gefunden. Während Laura Lippman in den USA schon viele wichtige Preise gewonnen hat, ist sie hier noch relativ unbekannt. Obwohl sie viele Erzähler die Geschichte der Mädchen rekonstruieren lässt, während Detektive Lenhardt versucht, herauszufinden, was wirklich passiert ist, habe ich diese vielen Personen nie als verwirrend empfunden. Ganz im Gegenteil, jeder scheint etwas zu wissen, zum Teil auch zu verbergen, so dass jeder Erzähler interessant ist, während Detektiv Lenhardt versucht, das Puzzle zusammen zu setzen. Obwohl man manche Teile des Puzzles als Leser selbst finden darf, das komplette Bild hat sich bei mir wirklich erst am Schluss ergeben. Bis dahin hat es mich allerdings viel Überwindung gekostet, nicht voraus zu lesen und genau das Wünsche ich mir von einem Thriller. Das nächste Laura Lippman Buch wartet schon in meinem Regal. ( )
