Hardball by Sara Paretsky
5.0

I love Sara Paretsky's VI Warshawsky series and this one is the best one yet. It's not often that mystery series get better--usually they start out well and eventually become formulaic. And, it is true that V.I Warhawsky is in an awful lot of fires. But the plots have gotten more and more interesting and this story was particularly interesting to me because it covers Civil Rights history. If you don't know this series, Sara Paretsky is an ardently feminist author concerned with social justice. Her mysteries are set in Chicago and her P.I. is a kick-ass smart and very tough woman. I highly recommend this series.
