Body Work by Sara Paretsky

3.0

I thought she did a very good job writing a suspenseful story that, while set in Chicago, dealt with the topic of the injuries we are doing to our soldiers and the huge contractor industry in Iraq and Afghanistan. This was not laugh out loud funny like Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series (I guess Chicago has less comic potential than Trenton), but there were some good funny moments to play off the suspense. I did get a kick out of the fact that one of the villains is named Scalia.
