Summary: Politics over Plotting
Comment: I have read all of the Sara Paretsky mysteries, and think this is the weakest of the group. She maintains her writerly skill, but the plot in this novel feels like it was devised to make a political point about women's access to health care and particularly to abortion. In the process, she takes pot shots at her political opponents by making the characters of those who disagree with her unidimensional, manipulative, and unlikeable. The novel does have suspenseful elements, but not enough, and I just didn't buy the story. If you want to read all the books in the series, this is readable. If you're picking the best, go with Hard Time or Tunnel Vision.

Summary: Bitter Medicine a Bit Sugary
Comment: Good storyline but characters sometimes difficult to discern. Story a little choppy; not as tight as it could be; somewhat maudlin but still it holds the interest until you discover whodunit
Rating: 2
Summary: Bad medicine
Comment: Almost interesting, but finally wraps up with stock villians and an implausable resolution. The fact that this is set entirely in the world of doctors and hospitals, healthcare economics, which Ms Paretsky obviously does not understand, dooms the story.
