Hints of Heliose

Hints of Heliose

Laura Lippman introduced Heloise Lewis, the soccer mom/suburban madam, in “One True Love,” a story chosen for Best American Mystery Stories, and fleshed out her back story in “Scratch a Woman,” an Edgar-nominated novella. Heloise’s complete story is now told for the first time in the scorching novel And When She Was Good, as Heloise tries to reconcile her two selves—the person she is and the mother she wants to be—while trying to stay alive. Hints of Heloise contains the original stories, an excerpt from the novel, and “Form 95,” a never-before published story about a man who literally loves her from a distance.
