I've read some of this series but am not sure I've read all of them. It's been a while since I've read one as it took me a while to remember how V.I. ended up with Peppy and Mitch (dogs).

You wouldn't think that a young girl, a rehab/nursing home, a Jewish Synagogue, a contractor, and V.I.'s childhood neighbors would all connect, but somehow, Sara Paretsky makes it work.

All month, Chicago had been hit by storms that put as much as three inches of water on the ground in an hour; but left the air as thick and heavy as a wet parka. Tonight's storm was one of the worst of the summer. I'd come up empty in.all the likely spots, bus stops, coffee shops, even the sleaziest nightclubs that might not card a bunch of tweens. I was about to give up when I saw lights flashing in the cemetery to my right. I pulled over and rolled down my window. Above the rumble of rain on my rooftop I could hear high-pitched chatter and bursts of nervous laughter.… (mais)

I LOVE V.I. Warshaski...her grit, her pushiness, her courage. Her in-your-face refusal to be bullied. Love everything about these stories!
