Summary: She¿s As Tough As Nails Yet As Smooth as Silk
Review: This is the book that introduces us to V.I. Warshawski, possibly the toughest female private investigator in the game. She is hired by an influential businessman to find his son and his son's girlfriend. It doesn't take long before she finds the son dead, the man who hired her wasn't whom he said he was, and she's had the proverbial beaten out of her as a warning to drop the case. V.I. is another one of those private investigators that, once hired, will stop at nothing to solve the case. Although she's told by her original client that he no longer requires her services, she persists like a dog with a bone, determined to see the case through to it's conclusion.The setting is Chicago and it's summer, so we're given a lot of speculation on how the Cubs are going to fare that year. Now, I'm from Australia, but even I know that the season's only going to end in disappointment...again. (No offence sports fans). This is another enjoyable private investigator book with a good, hard as nails protagonist. I have no problem recommending this to anyone who enjoys the Robert Parker "Spenser" series or the Robert Crais "Elvis Cole" series.

Summary: Good start for a great series
Review: Unfortunately this was not my first VI book but fortunately I enjoyed "Killing Orders" and "Bitter Medicine" enough to look further. I was not disappointed with the my reintroduction. Ms. Warshawski is an appealing character to mystery readers, women, Chicagoans (?), and anyone who enjoys reading about a tough, intelligent woman rooting out the bad guys. Not much of a mystery reader? I don't really consider myself one and have enjoyed it immensly. Give it a try.

Summary: Indemnity Only
Review: V.I. Warshawski is one of the best P.I.s ever! This is a series you can't put down. Once I read one, I had to read all the rest in the series. Sara Paretsky is great!
