| | Amazon.com: Blacklist (V.I. Warshawski Novels): Books: Sara Paretsky (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | By the time this story runs its course, V.I. will have harbored an alleged Arab terrorist, resurrected the ghosts of America's 1950s anti-Communist hysteria, and questioned the integrity of a man she once admired "to the point of hero worship." In other words, it's a typical case for this hard-headed, sarcastic, and perpetually sleep-deprived sleuth. |
 | | Our heroine suspects this is simply a bid by the wealthy dowager for greater attention, but agrees to do some nocturnal prowling--only to stumble (literally) across the body of a dead fl journalist, Marcus Whitby, in the estates ornamental pond and encounter a teenage girl fleeing the scene. |
 | | Blacklist provides a good balance of action and character-centered drama, with some trenchant critique of modern politics thrown in. |
