First the book review goes on Goodreads, and then I send it on over to my WordPress blog at, where you’ll also find TV & Film reviews, the revealing and introspective 365 Daily Challenge and lots of blogging about places I’ve visited all over the world. Go out and see!įor those new to me or my reviews… here’s the scoop: I read A LOT. It’s one of the better ones in the series, but don’t take my word for it.

And Paretsky is really strong at bringing to the forefront the pertinent details so it is educational in a way you don’t expect.

Plus, I was always curious what happens in a fire this helps explain a lot of the technical details in an easy-to-understand manner. Though the cover is plain, it seemed so mysterious to me… called out to the old-time detective story and makes you very curious. And you also want to shake Elena until she starts being clear and honest. You get lots of clues, some of which you don’t know how to handle, and in the end, it all fits together. She is what VI could turn into if she isn’t careful. How would you react if the relative you really didn’t want to deal with, but loved, showed up telling you that you owed her a favor? And you couldn’t remember why… probably because it wasn’t true… but when it’s family, sometimes you just have to go with it.Īunt Elena is a hoot. It is full of action, starting with the opening pages. Burn Marks by Sara Paretsky will not let you down. And I refused to read this one, book 6, until I caught up. I had asked for a bunch for Christmas after I read the first two, and this sat on my shelf for weeks as I had a few other books in front of it, plus we couldn’t find book 4 for a long time. I vividly recall seeing the cover for this book when I started reading the series.
