Praise for the novels
of Sara Paretsky
Fire Sale
“Another gripping chapter in the ongoing adventures of
the Chicago private investigator . . . tightly written.”
—Chicago
Sun-Times
“The great thing about Sara Paretsky’s novels is that they
have meat on their bones, burrowing down to explore is-
sues . . . without taking anything away from the thrills and
suspense . . . a cleverly constructed novel that serves a dual
purpose of providing first-class entertainment and at the
same time reminding us just how brutal man’s inhumanity
to man can be.”
—The
Orlando Sentinel
“Warshawski is among the most intriguing of detective
characters, and Paretsky among the smoothest of stylists.”
—Detroit
Free Press
“Fast-paced . . . as entertaining as any entry in the series.”
—Library
Journal
“An action-packed thriller.”
—The
Wichita Eagle
“Packed with social themes and moral energy, held to-
gether by humor, compassion, and sheer feistiness, this
novel shows why Paretsky and her heroine are such en-
during figures in American detective fiction.”
—Publishers
Weekly
(starred review)
“Tense, sharp.”
—Kirkus
Reviews
“The author’s strong cast of characters includes a nervy
fundamentalist preacher, worried mothers, young star-
crossed lovers, an angry former high school classmate, a
Romeo with an insatiable appetite, a nervy journalist, im-
patient businessmen, and assorted thugs, schemers, and
dreamers . . . a nifty, dark-edged, fast-paced urban thriller.”
—Lansing
State Journal

“[Warshawski is] as savvy, sardonic, and saucy as ever.”
—The
Providence Journal-Bulletin
“A summer sizzler . . . rich and complex.”
—The Associated Press
“An engaging read that gives social issues a human face.”
—Chicago
Tribune
“Anyone who has drifted away from Paretsky’s V. I. War-
shawski should promptly return to the fold. The thirteenth
Warshawski novel is one of the best. . . . Paretsky has never
been better than she is here at evoking a sense of place.”
—Booklist (starred review)
Blacklist
“A thoughtful, high-tension mystery.”
—The
Washington Post Book World
“Sara Paretsky’s Chicago private eye, V. I. Warshawski, is
one tough cookie . . . memorable.”
—The
New York Times Book Review
“Thoroughly gripping.”
—The
Seattle Times
“Because she is still among the very best drivers of narra-
tive engines in the business, Paretsky also has produced a
genuinely exciting and disturbing thriller, a raging vehicle
that can carry a load of baggage from 1950s blacklisting to
present-day terrorist hysteria without missing a beat.”
—Chicago
Tribune
“A stellar entry in a celebrated series, which offers a
provocative history lesson along with very contemporary
commentary on loyalty and betrayal and how the past
shapes the present. . . . A tightly woven and thoughtful
thriller, this enticing mix of history and mystery showcases
sharp, clever, vulnerable V. I. at her best.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“You are getting much more here than an ordinary detec-
tive novel.”
—The
Buffalo News
Praise for Sara Paretsky
“Paretsky still writes with the kind of dazzling,
diamond-hard clarity that can break your heart on
every other page.”
—Chicago
Tribune
“Paretsky is still the best. . . . She doesn’t pull punches.”
—The
Washington Post Book World
“Paretsky’s books are beautifully paced and plotted,
and the dialogue is fresh and smart. . . . V. I. Warshawski
is the most engaging woman in detective fiction.”
—Newsweek
“No one, male or female, writes better P.I. books than
Paretsky.”
—The
Denver Post
“Articulate and independent . . . Warshawski never wears
thin.”
—San
Francisco Chronicle
“Not a lot of mystery writers are as pulse-pounding and
as literary.”
—Detroit
Free Press
“Paretsky’s V. I. is a rare literary entity, a woman quick
to anger and action, yet sympathetic and credible.”
—Publishers
Weekly
“A character much loved in the crime and suspense
genre.”
—The
Kansas City Star
“Paretsky’s novels not only entertain us, keeping us sus-
pended with her twists and turns, but they also make us
think.”
—South
Florida Sun-Sentinel
“An old-school crime-writing pro.”—The
Boston Globe
