teacherpatti 's review for:
The Girl in the Green Raincoat
by Laura Lippman
Gotta admit that I'm not thrilled that my girl Tess popped out a kid. This is not an affront to women with kids, so please do not take it as such, but rather a fear that one of my favorite characters will suddenly start talking about eating placentas, green baby poop and breast pumping (ew, ew, EW). I am still worried about the future of this series but if the author keeps handing the narrating functions to Whitney (I love her and I normally don't love ultra wealthy characters...but she's so f'd up despite her wealth that I love her) and maybe even to Crow then I think it will be okay.
Anyway, as others have pointed out, this is a novella. It is a very fast read (took me only two or three sittings) and a lot of fun. Tess is confined to her bed and bored shitless, as I would be. I could have done without the descriptions of bladder habits and such (I have tokophobia pretty bad and pregnancy literally terrifies me) though. Anyway, Tess is watching the dog park folks across the way and notices a woman in a green raincoat (ding ding ding we have a title!!!!) who disappears one day. Tess ends up rescuing the dog, via Whitney and Crow, and what a little monster that dog is! I loved reading about his antics
