Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
#2 in series
Will I read other installments?
  Probably Not   Maybe   Likely  Most LIkely  Definitely I purchased the next three or four in the series; so yes, I will read more.
Comparison to others in series:   Better   About the same   Not as good  Good, but it could have been better I liked this and learned a lot about shipping on the Great Lakes (in the 1980s). I wonder how Paretsky did her research. Warshawski got a little annoying with the risks she took, but she solved the crime.
The narrator was Susan Ericksen. Still good, but, as I said above, the character was a little annoying. How much of that can I put on the writer or does it go to the narrator or both?
