Deadlock Book

Sara Paretsky writes novels about a Private Investigator called V. I. Warshawski and they are really good as long as you don't take them too seriously. Our main character uses the old fashioned approach to detecting where she tends to approach the suspect and let them know that she suspects them. This can lead to all kinds of difficulty but of course she always comes out the other side smelling of roses. I enjoyed this particular one so much that I am moving straight on to the next in the series.
