Vic is my favorite among the female detective series. She is tough and no nonsense. I do wish that she would tell Lotty to take a big jump sometimes...

5.0�toiles sur 5 A woman's eye on man's business society, D�c 7 2001

This review is from: Guardian Angel (Mass Market Paperback)

Sara Paretsky is a lot more than a plain detective story writer. She describes a whole society, in this case that of Chicago and its crime, or crimes. Violent crime is not number one on her agenda, though it comes in due time. She is mainly interested in white collar crime, the type you find in business and finances. These criminals are highly qualified and educated and some believe that they can have all they want, just because they have the education, the money or the power it takes to command the world. Violence only comes up when some outsiders, first of all the private investigator of this book, try to get into the circle to find out about those criminal acitivites. After moral or social intimidation violence comes in the same line, and it can go all the way to elimination. But this classy world does not accept to be endangered and they are ready to sacrifice some of their children in order to save the system. You can become an outcast overnight if your actions or initiatives endanger the power of the bosses of this society. It is a clan and those who do not accept these clannish procedures are rejected. But Sara Paretsky goes a lot beyond and gives also a fair picture of some burning issues in our socieries. She does not put them all on the front burner but she does for the position of women : they can do all they want, no profession is beyond their reach, because an equal society has to reject any privilege or segregation. A fascinating page turner.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Dull: no suspense, no thrill., Avril 1 2001

Par	"fleajuice" (Sacramento, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Guardian Angel (Mass Market Paperback)

When I first met V.I. Warshawski in the pages of "Guardian Angel" I found incredible likenesses with Sue Grafton's heroine of her Alphabet series. And by the end, I was equally annoyed and bored by her dull exposition and smarty-pants comments that were just not funny. I would have liked more thought in presenting some clues (we were presented with answers instead of clues that rolled out for us to piece together with the detective) than all the endless droning about cranky neighbors, jerky ex-husbands, pregnant dogs and worn-out running shoes.

I found myself annoyed with myself halfway through for bothering to finish "Guardian Angel" because I honestly, could not have cared less about what happened.
