Brush Back by Sara Paretsky
4.0
What I like about V. I. Warshawski:
She admits she's aging, but she's up to date with technology and contemporary.
We know she has a sex life but we don't have to know the details. She's not mooning over a superior officer.
What I like about this book:
It's told in one voice, front to back. No differing viewpoints from different eras.
What I like about Sara Paretsky:
She is a great writer, giving her characters and stories a lot of depth and action.
I couldn't help but compare Paretsky's Warshawski over Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone who is stuck in an outdated timeline. I think Paretsky's done a good job of advancing V.I.'s age and experiences.
I've also read several cop stories with strong female characters who turn into unprofessional simpletons because they can't help themselves from falling from male co-workers, usually their supervisor.
This is the kind of book I like to read!
