Bitter Medicine by Sara Paretsky

3.0

V.I. reluctantly finds herself immersed in investigating the death of Lotty's partner's death, and the death of her friend Consuelo, who delivered at a suburban hospital. As is often the case in V.I.'s books, apparently unrelated cases converge and, in this one, we learn about the unethical practices of the medical facility and the strange partnership of anti-abortion activists and high level lawyers as she struggles to make sense of things, take care of her neighbor who has gotten hurt on her account, recover from her own encounters with a defendant of her past, and a new relationship with a suburban doctor. Ms. Paretsky never fails to deliver an exciting story, uncovering Chicagoland for us as she does.
