A review by hellkitty915
Blacklist by Sara Paretsky
4.0
I've been a fan of V.I. for many years now. None of the books disappoint me and this one was right on the money.
It moves quickly and, even though V.I. has gotten older, her wits and one-liners are as sharp as ever. Ms. Paretsky does an excellent job of blending the political situation and general atmosphere after 9/11 into the plot and bringing in the McCarthy era past as well.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the obvious plot devices and 'coincidences' that happen too regularly. But, if one can overlook those, it's a great read and a lot of fun.
