Book Discussion at Mystery Manor
When: 28 May (Wednesday)
Time: 6PM SL
Where: Gazebo at Mystery Manor

Maxito Ricardo will lead a discussion of Hard Time by Sara Paretsky. Paretsky’s character, V.I. Warshawski, is a detective from the hardboiled school and with her “Paretsky is credited with transforming the role and image of women in the crime novel.” (Wikipedia). It isn’t hard to imagine Warshawski holding her own in the company of Philip Marlow, Lew Archer, and Sam Spade. The cases that V.I. (Vic to her friends) takes on involve social issues and in Hard Time she learns about the prison system close up and personal. Contact Maxito Ricardo or Max Batra for more information.
