Early writing from this author. Books are much more enjoyable when the author can refrain from sharing their political views however.

Currently 5/5 Stars.

Paretsky at her best. Love the twists and turns, though I could definitely see one of them coming with the romance. I also enjoyed meeting one of the long running characters for the first time.

Currently 4/5 Stars.
