Breakdown (Abridged) Audiobook

" Another page turner from Paretsky. This one gives us conservative talk show hosts, holocaust escape narratives, schizophrenia, as well as the whole host of regulars I have come to expect. I appreciate a complicated mystery, but this one tries to hard to be contemporary and topical, to the extent that it seems forced at times. "

" There were many things I liked about this book - V.I.'s character has grown and deepened over time, and Paretsky's social commentary is always relevant and incisive. I did have a problem, however, with the interweaving of various plot lines as the mystery unraveled - it really strained the book's credibility and distracted me from enjoying the book. Overall, a good read but not her best. "

" Okay but not memorable. "

" I like the character of VI Warshawski and found this a compelling read which meant I read it in a day. I was not quite convinced by the "evidence" revealed at the end but it is still a really good read. "

" Always good. Love that feisty V.I. "

" Complicated but the end is fabulous. "

" Expected more from Paretsky. too many characters; meandering plot. Hard to follow all the twists and poor development of secondary cast members. "

" Paretsky's latest Warshawski mystery is chocked full of action, twists and turns, and Chicago. I'm not a great fan, but these are fast-paced mysteries that keep your attention "

" Wow! A great read. I had trouble putting it down! "

" I don't know what took me so long to get into this book. But once I was in I was all in. "

" Sara Paretsky never disappoints. This was another page-turner! "

" One of Paretsky's best, especially since it engages all of V.I.'s awesome feminist sensibilities. When is the next one coming out? "

" So so. Could have cut this in half. "

" A very good read but the ending was a bit melodramatic. "

" VI is an old favorite and I especially enjoying sharing the author's political point of view. "

" If you like Sara Paretsky, this book will not disappoint. It's a good story with a lot of twists and turns, including a couple treks to an area not far from my house. "
