Books I've Read

Finally I can put "Writ" to this series. My favorite character was Angela, and we find out very little more about her, but that little is very intriguing.

A pregnant teen dies in the hospital, later the girls doctor is murdered, V.I. looks for answers!

V.I. finds a body in a pond. Lots of commentary on the Patriot Act. Not sure who did what to whom. Maker's Mark reference.

V.I. Warshawski.

V.I. Warshawski's aunt is homeless after her SRO hotel burns down.

V.I. tangles with a large company not-unlike Walmart, whose family is up to all sorts of shananigans. She is also coaching basketball at her old school part-time.

V.I. Warshawski tries to find her neighbor's missing friend. Pretty good stuff.

V.I. investigates the death of an escaped prison inmate. Gritty!

V.I. finds out who murdered a young woman at a peace march back in the 60s. V.I. faints on page six. She needs to get her emotions under control.

V.I. Warshawski looks for a missing Labor Union Boss's daughter. First in the series, pretty good!

Crooked friars cause V.I. Warshawski no end of trouble.

V.I. Warshawski is investigating Ajax Insurance again, and some guy thinks he is a holocaust survivor. Very good.

The tunnels under Chicago are flooding, V.I.'s office building is condemned, and some scam is afoot at a non-profit housing outfit.

A collection of stories about V.I. Warshawski.

26 stories by women writers of crime. Some were excellent, some were not.

Originally published under author's pseudonym, David Wong. Zoey Ashe #1. A bit in the future, Zoey lives in a trailer park and works at a small coffee shop. A LOT of violence happens, but works out OK except for all the folks who die/are injured.

Synopsis from Good Reads: Outside Los Angeles, a driver pulls up to find a young woman sitting on a large black box. She offers him $200,000 cash to transport her and that box across the country, to Washington, DC. -- Yeah, outside of Los Angeles...like 86 miles in Victorville!!

Zoey Ashe, #3. There's an election going on. Who is Zoey and her crew supporting? Plus, there are three women missing from a brothel. One that Zoey owns, of course.

Zoey Ashe, #2. Very funny, and violent. I think I could do with less of the cannibalism, but it IS funny. Sometimes.

Julia is not too enthused about her and Patrick's new project, breeding silkworms. It's too Korean.
