lauraellis's review against another edition
3.0
[1996] A new mystery series set in Chicago, with a free-lance reporter named Cat Marsala as the detective. It was very reminiscent of Paretsky’s mysteries in a way. Action, independence, drive. The only minor quibbles: the solution did not seem to fit, quite all of a sudden Uncle Ben becoming the bad guy. Also there were several multi-page diatribes pro-and anti-drug law repeal, which was completely extraneous to the plot and which I would have excised completely.
[1998] This is a re-read—the first time I was not that impressed, and so I have not read any of the sequels. This time I liked it rather better, although I still find the murderer a little surprising. The detective is a free-lance journalist named Cat Marsala, who lives in Chicago. I’ll have to look for some more of the series.
