About this product

Product Information

V.I. Warshawski returns in the spectacular new novel from the New York Times bestselling author. Carmilla, Queen of the Night, is a shape-shifting raven whose fictional exploits thrill girls all over the world. When tweens in Chicago's Carmilla Club hold an initiation ritual in an abandoned cemetery, they stumble on an actual corpse, a man stabbed through the heart in a vampire-style slaying. The girls include daughters of some of Chicago's most powerful families: the grandfather of one, Chaim Salanter, is among the world's wealthiest men; the mother of another, Sophy Durango, is the running for United States Senate. For V. I. Warshawski, the questions multiply faster than the answers. Is the killing linked to a hostile media campaign against Sophy Durango? Or to Chaim Salanter's childhood in Nazi-occupied Lithuania? As V.I. struggles for answers, she finds herself fighting enemies who are no less terrifying for being all to human.

BREAKDOWN: Sara Paretsky's V.I. Warshawski is Back...and Better Than Ever
What's not to love about a V.I. Warshawski novel wherein an item bought on eBay breaks the case wide open? In fact, what's not to love about a V.I. Warshawski novel, period? There's a reason author Sara Paretsky is a Mystery Writers of America Grand Master and winner of the the British Crime Writers Association's Cartier Diamond Dagger Award...and her name is V.I. Warshawski. Chicago's smart -- and smart-mouthed -- answer to Robert B. Parker's Boston-based Spenser is older and wiser now than she was when she arrived upon the mystery scene in 1982, yet she's also tougher than ever. Over the years she's been shot, stabbed, beaten up, drugged, and poisoned,but it's only made her harder to kill. V.I,, her cousin Petra, Mr. Contreras, Lotty and Max, Murray, and even Sal at the Golden Glow are in rare form this time around. The storyline revolves around a murdered private eye, a book club whose tween membership is hooked on a "Twilight"-like series about a shape-shifting teenager, and what V.I.'s brilliant but batty law-school buddy learned in the locked ward at her mental hospital.Throw in a controversial ultra-conservative talk-show host, a contentious senate race, and the world's 21st richest man, and you've got all the ingredients for "Breakdown"'s delicious stew of plot, counterplot, and subplot, which comes to a boil with a hair-raising climax, then simmers down to a most satisfying denouement. Read it!!! Thank you for reading my review. If you found it helpful, please vote by clicking "Yes" below.Read full review
