Killing Orders by Sara Paretsky
3.0
VI is on the case of the forged stocks that were owned by her aunt's church. What follows is a stock exchange takeovers, a fight with Lotty, and a smaller, if not still big event.
It was a solid contribution to the series. If you've not read any before, start with #1. If you have read them, you should totally continue. Now for some spoilers because I like to use these reviews as reminders for myself.
Lotty's Uncle is a forger that VI goes to for help. He does but also gets stabbed for his trouble. His lives but Lotty is pissed. The makeup at the end felt a little forced.
The second spoiler is that VIs apartment is burned down. While not as big as blowing up a cargo ship, it does keep the trend of big things happened.
Much to my relief, no dumb luck helped VI solve this one. The voice behind the calls to drop the case was revealed to be the priest with the thick accent. He was putting it on for her and when she overheard him, he was nailed.
