LOVE & OTHER CRIMES Stories

Narrator Susan Ericksen teams up again with author Sara Paretsky to provide listeners with a special treat: 14 short stories themed on love in a variety of machinations. Seven of the stories feature Paretsky's famous private detective, V.I. Warshawski. Ericksen succeeds in capturing the mini-worlds of the stories, which are populated by both familiar and new characters of different ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities. Ericksen masterfully uses accent, tone, and pace to bring these characters to life in the brief timeframe that the short story structure allows. She also voices Paretsky herself, who shares notes on the inspiration for each story. Fans will welcome this opportunity to gain insight on Paretsky's writing process.
