In the second episode of Female Trouble, a podcast spotlighting women in Baltimore, Quinn talks to author Laura Lippman. Laura got her start as a reporter, spending 12 years working at The Baltimore Sun before transitioning to writing crime novels full-time. Laura has written stand-alone books and a series that follows reporter-turned-investigator Tess Monaghan. Her latest stand-alone, “Wilde Lake” (which is where Laura attended high school), follows a state’s attorney prosecuting a big case who is forced to confront her family’s past along the way. Laura discusses timelessness, endings in fiction, and what she’s tired of seeing in the genre.
