Kurzbeschreibung
The last thing V.I. Warshawski was expecting when she showed up at Chicago's Club Gouge was that she'd wind up cradling a dying performance artist in an alley. A PTSD-stricken soldier is presumed guilty of the murder, but it's up to V.I. to find out what kinds of shady activities are really happening at Club Gouge...

"Flee sexual immorality.
Every sin that a man does is outside the body,
but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." -- 1 Corinthians 6:18 (NKJV)
Body Work is a change of pace from the usual V.I. Warshawski mystery. The focus here is on the evil influences in the plot rather the typical Joan of Arc story of Vic taking on one and all in a lopsided struggle. The intensity is high, as it always is with Sara Paretsky's writing, but there's more of an element of James Lee Burke come to Chicago that adds a lot of depth to the story. Vic's cousin Petra provides for comic relief in ways that offsets the darkness that's inherent in this story.
The book opens powerfully with this sentence: "Nadia Guaman died in my arms." You'll be hooked into wanting to know the rest of the story within the first three paragraphs. I think it would be very easy to spoil this story, so I'm going to avoid saying anything else about the characters or the plot. But I think you'll be surprised by where the story goes. I was, and I enjoyed the trip.
The only thing I didn't like about the story involved having so many evil doers that it took a lot of pages to work them all in and to develop their parts of the plot. As a result, the story was about 100 pages longer than I felt it was worth. One or two of the story lines could have been simplified and the pacing of the story would have been a lot more compelling. But if you like stories strong in atmosphere, I predict you'll like this one.

V.I. Warshawksi is drawn into a murder near a club because her niece works there and a friend of her lover played a short introductory concert there. Next she is holding the bullet-perforated body of a young Latina in her arms and then gets the assignment to prove the innocent of the Iraq-veteran who got arrested for her murder.
Soon she sees herself attacked by organised crooks and contractors who made a lot of money from the armed forces and a lot of her acquaintances are put to danger by V.I.'s crusading style of investigation.
A novel with a lot to think about. What is art? What does war make of people? What is perverse? What is a hero? Is right more important than quiet? Should everybody simply mind his or her own business?
Ma'am Paretsky asks all these questions and some more in this book and she gives us some hopeful answers that people can be better than - well, people normally are. An interesting - but not really a comfortable - read.
