5.0 out of 5 stars The Legend Continues..., Feb 27 2002
This review is from: Deadlock (Mass Market Paperback)
The only mysteries I read feature strong women characters, and VI Warshawsky is one of the toughest. I had read these early books in the series years ago, but the recent discovery of JM Redmann's Mickey Knight made me want to revisit V.I. and her stories.

Paretsky has a way of punning her titles and this book is no exception. Deadlock. Dead lock. I had never considered the magnitude of tanker shipping commerce and her invention of a plot to clog one route across the great lakes... oh that's giving too much away. It's inventive, it's thrilling, once I started -- even knowing how it ended -- I couldn't put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Action Sequence in a V.I. Novel, Jul 8 2001
By Barry D. French, Jr (Lansing, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deadlock (Mass Market Paperback)
The title of this book truly is ingenious. (I won't give away any plot points by telling you why). But I do have to say that there is a scene set in the Soo Locks in Michigan that is truly the most gripping and well-written action scene that I have ever read in a V.I. (or any other) novel. I highly recommend this novel for all V.I. and Sara Paretsky fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT BAD..., May 2 2001
By Simonetta (Perth, Western Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deadlock (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to admit that I am a HUGE fan of VI Warshawski, I love her tough-as-nails outlook on life, but still has a soft heart. She is a damn good investigator, street fighter and has a mouth on her that would make guys blush, she is a tougher version of Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, and all VI's stories have a great element of humor in them too...

This time, VI is investigating the death of her cousin Boom Boom, who used to work in Chicago's shipping industry. Boom Boom has seemed to have drowned, but VI is convinced her cousin was murdered and spends her time trying to uncover secrets down in the shipyards.

Even though the story is good, it really isn't enough to keep me interested. I did finish the book, but there are many other VI stories out there are much better and much more fast-paced than this little sleeper.

Ok, if you are a VI fan and you want to read the series, otherwise choose another one.

This was my first introduction to tough-as-nails, but soft-hearted, V.I. Warshawski and I've been a fan ever since. V.I. Read more
