This was as usual a good read from this series. I wished it didn't end quite so quickly. We learn a lot about Lotty, VI's friend and mentor.

This was a good mystery with the past of the Holocaust affecting the events in the present. I liked how V.I. gradually learned about Lotty's past.

In this 11th VI Warsahwski book, Vic investigates a life insurance claim that was paid out prematurely before a man's death. When he dies, it leaves a mystery as to why the claim was paid out and where the money went. The insurance company has other bigger problems when different groups try to get reparations for people insured during the Holocaust and American slavery. When the issues begin to involve her friend Lotty Herschel, the cases merge as one and a man claiming to be related to a mysterious Sofie Radbuka, whom Lottie knew once. Can VI figure out this man's identity and solve the insurance mystery before her friend gets hurt?

VI is still plucky and tenacious, but all the parts don't fit together in a compelling story in this book.

Don't confuse this book about Chicago Based private eye VI Vic Warshawski with the 80's movie with the same name. The flick was a classic Arnold Swarzeneggar and this book is a classic tale of the most hard biting female detective created. This story is particularly compelling as the reader learns more about one of the other characters central to Vic's life, her beloved mentor Lotty Herschel. Not to be missed!

IF YOU LIKE SUSPENSE AND MYSTERY, ALL OF SARA PARETSKY'S V.I. WARSHAWSKI NOVELS ARE A GOOD READ. THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION.
