Tunnel Vision
ByPublisher Description
Stubbornness has landed private eye V.I. Warshawski in big trouble at her Chicago office. With her grand old Loop building set to be razed, she's become a hold-out tenant amid frayed wiring and scary, empty corridors. Then she finds a homeless woman with three kids in the basement, and before she can rescue them, they disappear. Worst of all, she's been implicated in a murder--after the body of Deirdre Messenger, a prominent lawyer's wife, turns up sprawled across her desk.
V.I., who had volunteered with Deirdre at a women's shelter, suspects her death is linked to a case of upper-class domestic abuse so slickly concealed that the police refuse to believe it. Increasingly at odds with the cops, V.I. is blindly plunging ahead after the truth. And her path may lead to corruption at the highest levels.or deep into the abandoned tunnels beneath Chicago's streets, where secrets are hiding in the dark like a child's--or V.I.'s--worst nightmare.

“Her office building is falling apart, numerous unpaid bills are piling up. V.I Warshawski needs a lucrative case and needs it fast. Instead her most important client demands she find his son a community service job to keep him from jail time. At the same time she finds a homeless family in the basement, her search for emergency shelter sends her to home free, a charity organization for homeless people. She is puzzled by home free’s cold response for someone needing help and she becomes even more troubled when they start giving a group of trade women she knows the runaround.
This book suffers from too much happening. A murder, missing family, fraud, money laundering”

“Tunnel Vision by Sara Paretsky is the 8th book in the V.I. Warshawski Mystery series. With the building housing her office set for demolition, V.I. comes across a homeless woman with her children hiding in the basement after fleeing from domestic abuse, and then the wife of a prominant lawyer that she enlists to help is found murdered in her office. V.I. is tenacious as ever but the books are starting to become a little repetitive, although still exciting and complex. I did find the police attitude a bit condescending and offputting and the story rather unbelievable and not up to the standard of the previous books. However, V.I.s determination and capability save the day and she starts to be a bit more considerate of her friends.”
