I have read so many V I Warshawski books that each new installment feels less like a book and more like an old friend you haven’t seen in years. You want to lock yourself away with Paretsky’s novels so you can read without interruptions for hours on end.
Warshawski’s adventures never get old because she is so righteous. Like any decent protagonist, she has her flaws. But you know that everything she does is designed to defend the innocent, so you can always cheer her on.
I enjoy living vicariously through her as she takes on corrupt politicians and mobsters. Paretsky’s prose is always elegant. She has yet to disappoint me.
