Review

Ms. Barnes makes a fist and puts some muscle in this strong plot about an extortionist scheme to corner the market in the taxi medallions. Warning, this is a difficult book to put down! One of the most sparkling and irresistible heroines ever to grace the pages of a whodunit! Barnes's knack for crisp, snappy dialogue and devising a mystery that has both timeless and contemporary appeal is a winner. More than Grafton and far more than Paretsky - Barnes manages to overcome the too tough tendencies of her detective with salvos of self-deprecating wit... -Ms. Barnes makes a fist and puts some muscle in this strong plot about an extortionist scheme to corner the market in the taxi medallions.- --The New York Times Book Review on Hardware-Warning, this is a difficult book to put down!- --Kansas Ledger on Hardware-One of the most sparkling and irresistible heroines ever to grace the pages of a whodunit!- --Chicago Sun-Times- Barnes's knack for crisp, snappy dialogue and devising a mystery that has both timeless and contemporary appeal is a winner.- --Boston Herald-More than Grafton and far more than Paretsky - Barnes manages to overcome the too tough tendencies of her detective with salvos of self-deprecating wit...- --Booklist "Ms. Barnes makes a fist and puts some muscle in this strong plot about an extortionist scheme to corner the market in the taxi medallions." --The New York Times Book Review on Hardware"Warning, this is a difficult book to put down!" --Kansas Ledger on Hardware"One of the most sparkling and irresistible heroines ever to grace the pages of a whodunit!" --Chicago Sun-Times" Barnes's knack for crisp, snappy dialogue and devising a mystery that has both timeless and contemporary appeal is a winner." --Boston Herald"More than Grafton and far more than Paretsky - Barnes manages to overcome the too tough tendencies of her detective with salvos of self-deprecating wit..." --Booklist Ms. Barnes makes a fist and puts some muscle in this strong plot about an extortionist scheme to corner the market in the taxi medallions.
