My review of Sara Paretsky, Indemnity Only (#1). Great fun read, the setting makes the book: gritty, ethnic, corrupt Chicago. #writingcommunity #amreading See full review at https://t.co/9l9M6dY2P4
Praise for this book
"The best on the beat? V.I. Warshawski [is] the top of the line."--Chicago Tribune
"Who is America's most convincing and engaging professional female private eye? V.I. Warshawski, the star of Sara Paretsky's series about white-collar crime and wall-to-wall corruption in Chicago, now clearly leads the growing field."--Entertainment Weekly
"What really continues to amaze and impress about this series is V.I. herself, undoubtedly one of the best-written characters in mystery fiction."--The Baltimore Sun
"Parentsky's work does more than turn a genre upside down: Her books are beautifully paced and plotted. . . . The dialogue is fresh and smart."--Newsweek
