Deadlock: A V. I. Warshawski Novel
by Sara Paretsky
Well-plotted, labyrinthine mystery involving the death of an ex-hockey pro, old money vs. new money, rival shipping conglomerates, professional dancers, blackmail and family entanglements.
I like Paretsky's protagonist, V.I. Warshawski, a remarkably progressive character for 30+ years ago. It's important to me for you to know this next comment is not snark; it's sincere. I enjoy the loving detail given to the descriptions of the food she eats, especially when it's something like a steak or onion rings.
In this book, Vic has a personal stake in unraveling the mystery when her cousin dies under mysterious circumstances. The police believe it was accidental; she suspects murder. And everyone she encounters during her investigation seems to have some secret to hide.
