Love & Other Crimes
Author(s): Sara Paretsky
Review(s):
"A crime-fiction pro struts her stuff with short works featuring V.I. Warshawski, her prickly, stalwart Chicago PI, plus several homages to detectives past. Murder binds these wonderfully varied tales, but so does love—including that of a girl for a lab mouse she is determined to save."
"Paretsky shows she’s as superior a writer of the short-form crime story as she is of the novel in this consistently entertaining collection."
"The well-wrought plots and densely imagined worlds make this the most distinguished mystery collection so far this year."
"Paretsky continues to thrill . . . In addition to heart-pounding crime fighting and sleuthing, these stories run deep with aching sketches of love and loss. Some contain scathing political commentary, with haunting versions of possible futures. Fans of witty characters, complicated plots, stories with somber endings, and, of course, V.I Warshawski will enjoy this book."
"A wisely provocative and zestfully entertaining crime collection."
"The love that really comes through in each story is the love and empathy Paretsky has for her all-too-human characters."
“Wonderful company and a rich discovery awaiting those who have yet to meet [Warshawski]. ”
“Sara Paretsky reigns as one of the all-time greats.”
“Sara Paretsky is a legend . . . If you haven’t read her yet, now is the time.”
“As long as Paretsky’s hotheaded, quick-witted sleuth is on the job, imperiled young women . . . will always have a champion.”
