6/21/2023 0 Comments Baltimore blues by laura lippmanShe is equally indecision when it comes to romance, having settled into a comfortable yet unsatisfying friends with benefits arrangement with colleague Jonathan Ross, an investigative reporter with the Beacon Light. Tess is beginning to wonder if she still wants to pursue a career in journalism, although she isn't pursuing any other career options. She ekes out a living by renting quarters above her eccentric and free-spirited Aunt Kitty's niche bookstore and working odd jobs, including for her uncle (who is secretly paying her with his own funds, rather than those of his government employer). In her late 20's, her career as a reporter sputtered and stalled when the newspaper employing her ceased publication and she was not hired by its competitor, the Beacon Light. Tess Monaghan's life - like the recessed Baltimore of the late 1990's in which she lives - is stagnant.
