Fallout: A V.I. Warshawski Novel
Fallout: A V.I. Warshawski Novel | Sara Paretsky
10 posts | 14 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
P.D. JAMES called her "the most remarkable" of today's suspense writers. STIEG LARSSON loved her work so much, he named her in his novels. And now SARA PARETSKY returns with the most extraordinary novel of her legendary career: FALLOUT.Before there was Lisbeth Salander, before there was Stephanie Plum, there was V.I. WARSHAWSKI. To her parents, she's Victoria Iphigenia. To her friends, she's Vic. But to clients seeking her talents as a detective, she's V.I. And her new case will lead her from her native Chicago... and into Kansas, on the trail of a vanished film student and a faded Hollywood star. Accompanied by her dog, V.I. tracks her quarry through a university town, across fields where missile silos once flourished -- and into a past riven by long-simmering racial tensions, a past that holds the key to the crimes of the present. But as the mysteries stack up, so does the body count. And in this, her toughest case, not even V.I. is safe. Exciting and provocative, fiercely intelligent and witty, FALLOUT is reading at its most enjoyable and powerful."

Another challenge trifecta! I like this series with a #femaledetective - I‘ve read many of them, although not in order. These are normally set in Chicago, but this book took V. I. to #Kansas looking for an aging actress and an aspiring filmmaker. #LetterF #LitsyAtoZ #Booked2019 #ReadingUSA2019

The 18th V.I. Warshawski novel I‘m reading. Big love for Sara Paretsky, one of my all-time favourite crime writers.

I have a handful of pop fiction authors I enjoy and Paretsky is definitely one. This installment finds VI looking for 2 MPs in Kansas and exploring secrets, lies, abusive families, and racism. A solid story. Plus I love the presence of dogs in these books.

This was a huge #grabbyhands for me. I made a special trip to a different library bc I didn't want to wait for the one in transit to my local branch. I'll release the other one back into the wild when it comes in. I love this author and her MC, VI Warshawski. I haven't been able to focus on this or much else due to unforeseen circumstances. But the book hadn't disappointed me yet.

I haven't read any of this series, but this one sounds intriguing! Have you read any?

Before there was Lisbeth Salander, before there was Stephanie Plum, there was V.I. To her parents, she's Victoria Iphigenia. To her friends, she's Vic. But to clients seeking her talents as a detective, she's V.I. And her new case will lead her from her native Chicago and into Kansas, on the trail of a vanished film student and a faded Hollywood star.

ptkpepe98 I read these years ago. There was even a movie, with Kathleen Turner as V.I. Really enjoyed them. 7y
