Pressestimmen
"The Chicago writer whose name always makes the top of the list when people talk about the new female operatives." -- Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review.
Kurzbeschreibung
Meeting an anonymous client late on a sizzling summer night is asking for trouble. But trouble is Chicago private eye V.I. Warshwski'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. Who's V.I.'s client? Why has she been set up and sent out on a wild-goose chase? By the time she's got it figured, things are hotter -- and deadlier -- than Chicago in July. V.I.'s in a desperate race against time. At stake: a young woman's life.

Format:Taschenbuch
V.I. Warshawsky ("Vic" fuer ihre Freunde) duerfte regelmaessigen Paretsky-LeserInneN ein Begriff sein, aber denen muss man dieses Buch wohl eh' nicht mehr vorstellen. Sie ist Privatdetektivin, eine gute noch dazu, und Sara Paretsky ist eine gute Erzaehlerin. Dass dieses Buch eher ein bisschen lau ist, ist wohl eher ein zufaelliger Fehlgriff, aber fuer's einmalige Lesen reicht's allemal. V.I. soll fuer einen Bankvizechef die Tochter seines Sohnes wiederfinden, weil sein Sohn ihm sonst angeblich davonlaufen wuerde. Als sie die Wohnung untersucht, in der Sohn und Freundin gemeinsam wohnten, riecht es unangenehm. Dann steht V.I. vor der Leiche des verschwinden-wollenden Sohnes, der Auftraggeber aber war gar nicht der Vater, sondern... aber ich will wirklich nicht zuviel verraten. Jedenfalls wird es noch einigermassen blutig, und einiges davon bekommt die Detektivin selbst ab. Private Investigator ist ein gefaehrlicher Beruf. Vor allem, wenn man eine Zwanzigjaehrige, eine kleine Teenagerin und noch diverse andere Leute beschuetzen und sich mit einen netten Versicherungsangestellten herumschlagen muss. Was sie mit Bravour hinbekommt. Schade nur, dass man irgendwie immer schon weiss, dass die Heldin am Ende heil aus dem Schlamassel kommt. Wenigstens sie. (Dies ist eine Amazon.de an der Uni-Studentenrezension.)

Watch Out Mickey...Move Over Mike...V.I.'s In Town
15. August 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
She's as tough as nails, a real smart cookie and she's taking on the Chicago crime scene. Her name is V.(ictoria) I.(phigenia) Warshawski, a contemporary private eye investigating white-collar corruption in the heartland of America. Sara Pareksky has created a female character in her series of books that can rival Mickey Spillane or Mike Hammer in her toughness and wisecracking. Indemnity Only is the first V. I. Warshawski novel written by Pareksky. In this novel she finds herself employed by her client to find his son's missing girlfriend and instead finds the son,and he's dead. Soon she finds herself embroiled with union leaders, mob killings and insurance fraud, as well as continuing her hunt for the young woman whose life may be in jeopardy. This is a novel that will hold the interest of those of us from the babyboomer generation as we relate to Warshawkski's return to her college alma mater. Read this novel for a great introduction to V. I. Warshawski.

Is Anyone Who They Say They Are?
7. August 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
After a late night visit from a client asking her to find a missing girl, V. I. Warshawski finds the body of a collage student shot in the head at his kitchen table. V. I., Vick, as her friends call her, has a mystery to unravel. The first thing she unravels is that nobody appears to be who he or she says they are.
I truly enjoyed this book. V.I. Warshawski was a wonderful character. Ms. Paretsky did a wonderful job at making her colorful and humorous. Indeed, Ms. Paretsky made all of the characters good. This book, though a little on the older side was the first in the V. I. Warshawski series. Not possessing the extreme descriptions that so many authors in this genre feel needs to be included, Ms. Paretsky described people, places and things providing enough information without overkill.
Ms. Peters (reader) also did a wonderful job at bringing characters to life. Though the male characters weren't overpowering, (tough for a female to do a male characters voice), the female characters were all outstanding, including that of Jill the 14-year girl.
This was my first experience with Ms. Paretsky and found it enjoyable. Being one who listens to many audio books while commuting to/from work. I found this book enjoyable and certainly plan on trying others by Ms. Paretsky.

Shes As Tough As Nails Yet As Smooth as Silk
26. Juli 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
This is the book that introduces us to V.I. Warshawski, possibly the toughest female private investigator in the game. She is hired by an influential businessman to find his son and his son's girlfriend. It doesn't take long before she finds the son dead, the man who hired her wasn't whom he said he was, and she's had the proverbial beaten out of her as a warning to drop the case. V.I. is another one of those private investigators that, once hired, will stop at nothing to solve the case. Although she's told by her original client that he no longer requires her services, she persists like a dog with a bone, determined to see the case through to it's conclusion.
The setting is Chicago and it's summer, so we're given a lot of speculation on how the Cubs are going to fare that year. Now, I'm from Australia, but even I know that the season's only going to end in disappointment...again. (No offence sports fans).
This is another enjoyable private investigator book with a good, hard as nails protagonist. I have no problem recommending this to anyone who enjoys the Robert Parker "Spenser" series or the Robert Crais "Elvis Cole" series.
