This author is up there with the greats of modern crime fiction. I look forward to finding and reading more written by this author.Her main character is tough and flawed - but not afraid to acknowledge her flaws. The plotting was very interesting and topical.I would seriously recommend this book to all devotees of tough women protagonist crime fiction.
Wonderful

This author has had some harsh reviews from professional reviewers for the Blaine Stewart series. I find these totally unjustified.This is a wonderful find for me - a new author in the Paretzky mould. I can't wait to read the other books in the series.Blaine is a tough, widowed alcoholic PI but not so tough that she has to win every encounter in her professional or personal life.Gritty and topical plotting, realistic characterisations, tons of suspense and romance. What more could you ask for?
