A literary comfort blanket with all the must-loved elements -
Warshawski risking her neck for friends, cooing over cute dogs,
exchanging sassy dialogue with her neighbour Mr Contreras and
refusing to do housework - reassuringly present. And yet Paretsky
never shies away from tough subjects: this latest case takes in
everything from the Holocaust to abuses of power by Homeland
Security. Paretsky is brave enough to write feel-good reads that
often take you to places where you feel far from good
*Telegraph*
A daring departure for Paretsky . . . and a career-crowning
triumph.
*The Sunday Times*
Paretsky's most ambitious novel so far: interesting, exciting and
well worth reading.
*Literary Review*
