Product Description

Ingram

When her sour old aunt is accused of stealing millions in stock certificates from an order of Dominican brothers, V. I. Warshawski investigates and learns that some unholy business is being conducted in the Lord's house. Reprint. NYT. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.


From the Publisher

V.I. Warshawski's latest case has alreasy opened up old wounds. But when a silky voice on the phone threatened to throw acid in her eyes, V.I. knew this one could finish her off with some brand-new ones. The sour-faced old aunt she had agreed to help was accused of stealing millions in stock certificates from a pious order of Dominican brothers. V.I. knew the woman was a witch, not a thief, and she soon smelled something rotten in the sanctum sanctorum of Chicago's most powerful movers and shakers -- the Church and the Mob. Now someone wants to see V.I. burn in hell. But this tough cookie of a private eye had her back up, a brand-new Smith & Wesson, and a daring plan to make the bad guys go to the devil first. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gets into the character, Mar 22 2002
This review is from: Killing Orders (Mass Market Paperback)
KILLING ORDERS is one of Paretsky's earlier V. I. Warshawski novels. In this case her aunt Rosa is accused by her church in committing stock fraud. She reluctantly asks her niece for her help in clearing her name.

I have read most of Warshawski's novels and this one is one of my favorites mainly because I got to learn more about her character as well as her relationship with her friend, Lotty. I regret having read them in disorder but I recommend this novel for anyone interested in learning how V. I. got started. Although this is the third novel in the series it tells a lot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Weird but good, Sep 16 2000

This review is from: Killing Orders (Mass Market Paperback)
Very good, in fact. I don't think Paretsky had quite fashioned her own mold for the genre yet, so there are a few cliché elements in the book, but everything else is a highly original treat. Lots of great little twists throughout--not just plot twists, but different ways of looking at things. With V.I. Warshawski, Paretsky has created a heroine who is intelligent, engaging, and not afraid to shake things up. I haven't read much early V.I. yet, but I intend to, so I can get to know this woman from the beginning.

This review is from: Killing Orders (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first book I've read by her and enjoyed it. I was stumped until the end, so that's good.
