Editorial Review:

Bitter Medicine (Director: Ruth Bloomquist; Engineer: Melissa Coates): Chicago private eye V. I. Warshawski knows from the start that Consuelo Alvarado's baby is trouble. Consuelo is sixteen. Diabetic. And the daughter of a friend. When she goes into labor too early, even V. I.'s wild drive to get her to the hospital can't save either Consuelo or her child. Soon V. I. is investigating possible malpractice at the emergency room - and falling for a doctor who works there.

Total Recall (Director: Laural Merlington; Engineer: Melissa Coates): In Total Recall, Sara Paretsky brings together several disparate plots in one gripping story. This powerfully suspenseful novel confronts the machinations of a vast and corrupt industry that trades on the victims of Nazi terrorism; the strange and dubious phenomenon of "recovered memory;" and a personal story that brings V. I. Warshawski into the long-buried past of her dearest friend and mentor, Dr. Lotty Herschel.

Blacklist (Director: Laural Merlington; Engineer: Melissa Coates): Eager for something physical to do in the spirit-exhausting wake of 9/11, V. I. accepts a request from an old client to check up on an empty family mansion; subsequently surprises an intruder in the dark; and, giving chase, topples into a pond. Grasping for something to hold on to, her fingers close around a lifeless human hand.

It is the body of a reporter who had been investigating events of forty-five years earlier, and V. I.’s discovery quickly sucks her into the history of two great Chicago families - their fortunes intertwined by blood, sex, money, and the scandals that may or may not have resulted in murder all these years later.

A Quick Dose of V.I. Warshawski 3 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Kathleen Turner gives a great voice to these 2 short stories. I am an avid V.I. fan and look forward to each new book. I think Paretsky's greatest strength is her character development which makes Sal, Lotty, and Mr. Contreras part of the family to her fans. These stories give a flavor for the longer versions and will introduce a new reader to V.I.'s modus operandi. Unfortunately, the shortened format doesn't give time for the character expansion that makes her full length books such a joy to read. FYI, both stories are included in Windy City Blues.

Editorial Review:

The teenage tennis star had a frighteningly brutal trainer--her father. So nobody cried when he got strangled in the women's locker room. Now V.I. Warshawski wants to clear the number one suspect--who was showering alone at the time in "Strung Out". And in "Skin Deep", after his trip to the salon the stranger wasn't looking so good. Maybe it was the poison facial. V.I. Warshawski tries a few new creams herself while she looks for somebody, anybody connected to this guy.

Editorial Review:

Another V.I. Warshawski novel. Meeting an anonymous client late on a sizzling summer night is asking for trouble. But trouble is Chicago private eye V.I. Warshawski’s specialty. Her client says he’s the prominent banker, John Thayer. Turns out he’s not. He says his son’s girlfriend, Anita Hill, is missing. Turns out that’s not her real name. V.I.’s search turns up someone soon enough — the real John Thayer’s son, and he’s dead.

La investigadora privada V.I. Warshawski, experta en kárate y tiradora mortal, es contratada por el vicepresidente de uno de los bancos más importantes de Chicago para que encuentre a la novia de su hijo Peter, misteriosamente desaparecida. Cuando Warshawski encuentra el cadáver de Peter, su cliente se esfuma. Sin embargo, la detective se niega a abandonar la investigación, y halla una pista que la convierte en la principal enemiga de una peligrosa organización integrada por asesinos a sueldo y pistoleros sin escrúpulos. "Valor seguro" es un thriller hábil y refrescante, una inteligente combinación de humor ácido y suspense. Sara Paretsky, una de las escritoras de best-sellers de más exito en Estados Unidos, consigue atrapar al lector con un estilo ágil y eficaz y una protagonista sencillamente irresistible.
