V.I.x3

Sara Paretsky has created one of the most popular female sleuths in modern crime fiction. Her heroine, V I Warshawski, is a strong female character in a male-dominated world. V I is comfortable packing heat and trailing nasty suspects, but she never loses touch with her basic femininity.

Here, Private Detective V I Warshawski is being set up for a murder she didn't commit - of a woman she hardly knew.

The victim is a famous crime fiction writer. Her latest book threatens to uncover the shame of a small American town whose dark secrets and those of her tormentor have been buried for decades.

Enjoyable and worth your time.
