Critics Review

€~With the creation of V.I. Warshawski, Sara Paretsky did more than anyone to change the face of contemporary women’s fiction.’

How enjoyable to settle down with a new book by Sara Paretsky. - Sunday Telegraph

With the creation of V.I. Warshawski, Sara Paretsky did more than anyone to change the face of contemporary women’s fiction. - Express on Sunday
