Books I've Read

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.

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.

One novel, ten authors,neat book jacket. Each chapter written by a different author, telling events in the lives of people who knew George "Gee" Keane, a photojournalist. I really enjoyed the story until the strange separate personality weirdness.

Spencer travels to Mill Valley, California, to assist Hawk and Susan.

A friend of Paul asks Spencer to look into who killed her mother during a bank robbery 28 years ago.
