From AudioFile

Jean Smart was indeed the "smart" choice to narrate the latest installment in the V.I. Warshawski series. She capably presents the P.I. as an intelligent, no-nonsense character who is not afraid to stick her nose into danger to find the answer. In DEADLOCK, Warshawski investigates the death of her cousin, a former pro-hockey player of the Chicago Blackhawks, and finds herself uncovering scandal in Chicago's shipping industry. Lacing her narration with both sarcasm and tension, Smart colorfully performs V.I. and a wide array of characters-from the dock workers to the company executives. V.I. is relentless in her quest for the truth-and Smart skillfuly portrays her in its pursuit.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The Legend Continues..., Fév 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.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Best Action Sequence in a V.I. Novel, Juil 8 2001
Par Barry D. French, Jr (Lansing, Michigan United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
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.

3.0étoiles sur 5 NOT BAD..., Mai 2 2001
Par Simonetta (Perth, Western Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
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.
