By the time V.I. figures out the answers, she is in a race to find the missing young woman―before the murderers do. Praise for the audio edition of Body Work: "Susan Ericksen’s portrayal of Chicago private investigator V.I. Warshawski is pitch-perfect." ― AudioFile, Earphones Award Winner Praise for the audio edition of Hardball: “…narrator Susan Ericksen … ramps up the excitement in the story with a memorable voice that is intense and breathless. She’s equally convincing as a gangbanger, a gentle nun, a kindly neighbor, and a stroke victim. Each character shines as an individual, making this one of the best Sara Paretsky productions ever.” ― AudioFile, Earphones Award Winner
