Why read it?

1 author picked Indemnity Only as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This first book in the V.I. Warshawski series sizzles with heat, tension, danger, and even humor. In Indemnity Only readers meet V.I., the quintessential P.I. and she’s cool. She races through the mean streets of Chicago on a sometimes wild goose chase as she searches for a missing young woman. V.I. never gives up as she works to save her quarry’s life. Sara Paretsky is a wonderful writer and one of my true heroines in this genre.
