Another Thing To Fall – Laura Lippman

When Tess literally rows into a television production, she finds herself with a new job: protecting/babysitting the show’s starlet.  As the production continually runs into increasingly elaborate pranks that threaten to derail the show’s future, Tess starts investigating, starting with her charge.  When those mishaps escalate to murder, she starts to make some headway, she needs to track down the clues that will lead her to the culprit before the whole production is shut down and Hollywood leaves Baltimore behind.

In Another Thing to Fall, the tenth entry in Laura Lippman’s Tess Monaghan series, the action gets a little meta, as Lippman was married at the time to David Simon, the man behind the Baltimore-set HBO hit The Wire.  With only two more entries to go in the series, we are nearing the end and I should wrap things up later this year.
