My Life As A Villainess: Essays

Journalist and bestselling mystery author Laura Lippman collects within My Life As a Villainess her recent essays exploring motherhood as an older parent, her life as a reader, her relationships with her parents, friendship, and other topics that will resonate with a larger audience. 

A collection of candid essays, My Life As a Villainess offers readers an intimate insight into the experiences that helped Lippman become one of the most successful crime novelists of her generation. 

"With its 'gleefully honest' hits of humor and willingness to take a close look at some discomfiting truths, it will come as no surprise to Lippman’s fans that My Life as a Villainess is an engaging read, and an intrepid investigation of the author’s inner landscape." -- BookPage
