Reading progress update: I've read 100%.
Well "Shell Game" was a good peek in VI's world again. I had no idea how much I missed her until this book. VI is definitely older and wiser about pushing in on things.
I do have to say that this book had the mother of all coincidences that did not work at all for me (why I am only giving it 4 stars) and think that Paretsky would have been better served with creating two stand alone novels. I loved the backstory about her and Dick's nieces' and wow he and his current wife are terrible. The other plot about Lotty's nephew made zero sense at all and Paretsky trying to tie it into immigration and ICE felt like a big leap. I know that she likes to talk about cultural events as they happen in her books which I love, but I was still scratching my head about some of the things depicted in the book.
