From Booklist
V. I. Warshawski, perhaps the most popular of the "new breed" of female private investigators, is back in what is without a doubt her best adventure yet, a complex, authentic, and gripping story that shows our heroine at both her bravest and most vulnerable. V. I. is not afraid to take on controversial subjects--spouse and child abuse, the homeless, incest, interracial couples, self-help groups, and alternative lifestyles. Nor is she afraid of taking pot shots at corrupt politicians, big government, political coverups, and the idle rich. This time out, she's up against all of the above and more as part of a group of community activists helping the homeless, the helpless, and the heartbroken. Trouble is, for every do-gooder, there's a crooked politician or corrupt official who's using the system to get rich quick. When one of V. I.'s do-gooder friends is murdered, V. I. is convinced the victim's law-prof husband is the killer. But the more she digs, the more confusing and convoluted the case becomes. Before it's over, V. I. is mugged, shot, burned, battered, and bruised; the whole of the Chicago police force is mad at her; she's offended at least one influential senator; and a giant agricultural conglomerate is ready to sue her. Good thing V. I. is brave, brash, tough, resilient, good-hearted, and so darn bent on stamping out injustice that she survives it all. A whopping good story that will have Paretsky's millions of fans screaming for more. Emily Melton

Not a ladies mystery,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Tunnel Vision (V.I. Warshawski Novels) (Taschenbuch)
This is my first exposure to Sarah Paretsky. I thought that Tunnel Vision was a first rate mystery. The details in the underground scenes were fantastic. I felt like I was really there, just steps behind the flood. It was so vivid it was terrifying. I can see those chicago tunnels yet! Sarah Paretsky has a good head for technical detail, good as Crichton et. al., hell, good as any man, writer or otherwise. This is by no means a gentile "ladies tea party mystery. "V.I. Warshawsky is tough yet desireable, one cool lady detective. Highly recommended.

One of V.I.'s Best!,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Tunnel Vision (V.I. Warshawski Novels) (Taschenbuch)
Sara Paretsky's character, V.I. Warshawski, is a tough-talking; tender-hearted; justice-seeking; single-minded woman who is approaching middle-age and beginning to feel it. I can really identify with the "beginning to feel it" part, which is part of the reason I find her so engaging. Her tactics may not always be perfect, but her heart's always in the right place!In Tunnel Vision, once again, she goes after the truth taking her friends, her dogs, her police contacts, and her neighbor/protector, Mr. Contreras along with her. She discovers the truth, too, but only after putting herself and her closest personal relationships at great risk. I don't think she's meant to be believable 100% of the time, after all this is fiction. V.I.'s just supposed to be cool. And she is.

Delivers good value in a mystery,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Tunnel Vision (V.I. Warshawski Novels) (Taschenbuch)
Sara Paretsky has packed a huge amount into a single novel, probably enough for 4 or 5 thriller movies. I've had the same sense of surprise with another of the V.I. Warshawsky novels -- after 30 or 40 pages to be only that far into it. The behaviour of many if not most of the men in this book is implausibly stupid, serving perhaps as an inexcusable excuse to examine abuse and inhumanity between and among the sexes. V.I.'s tendency to argue unproductively with most of the other characters in the novel is annoying at times, too, but there's always a lot going on, continuous plot motion, and plenty to think about. And it's nice to have a PI who doesn't pull out a gun and threaten to blow the bad guy's head off if he doesn't come across with the information. This is a slow read and a good one.
