Read by aclaimed actress Kathleen Turner, who actually played the series protagonist, V.I. Warshawski, in the 1991 film adaptation of Paretsky's novels.

From the back cover:

"V.I. Warshowski, Sara Paretsky's famous lady detective, stars in this collection of mysteries. In 'Skin Deep' the owner of V.I. Warshawski's favorite bar needs help. Her sister has been accused of the grisly murder of one of the clients of La Cygnette, a high-prestige beauty salon. 'Strung Out' features a murder case on the professional tennis circuit. In 'Three Dot Po', V.I. teams up with an unlikely heroine, a golden retriever. The world of classical music is the setting for 'Settled Score', in which V.L. Warshawski encounters a most unusual murder weapon."
