See all formats and editions
Most of these stories are about murder. Murder of a stranger or a relative, murder in a quiet English town or in a crowded American city. It happens everywhere, it seems, for all kinds of reasons. In these stories by some of the finest modern crime writers in English, we see what can drive a person to murder - and that trying to catch them can be complicated and extremely dangerous!

Called a "genius" by Lee Child and "one of the all time greats" by Karin Slaughter, Sara Paretsky transformed the role of women in the mystery world with her detective, V.I. Warshawski. V.I. is tough, feminine and vulnerable, but above all loyal to her friends and clients. Paretsky and Warshawski share a love of singing, Golden Retrievers and Italian reds. V.I. has escaped many near-death experiences, including drowning in Chicago's swamps (Blood Shot), falling down an elevator shaft (Burn Marks), and multiple attempts to shoot her down (Dead Land). Paretsky would have retired to the Umbrian Hills after one such event, but V.I. keeps coming back for more.

Paretsky's passion for social justice is reflected in her novels but also in her support for reproductive health and the welfare of women and children. She founded Sisters in Crime, an international organization that advocates for women in the mystery/thriller field. She is one of four living writers to earn both the Cartier Diamond Dagger from the British Crime Writers and Grand Master from the Mystery Writers of America.

Je mes suis servie de cette resource avec plusieurs groupes avec plus ou moins de preparation selon le niveau du groupe. Les histoires sont courtes mais bien pensees et j'ai apprecie les exercices qui suivent et precedent les histoires. Ils donnent des idees d'exension tres utiles aussi.

4.0 out of 5 stars Für die Schule
Reviewed in Germany on June 2, 2013

Das Büchlein ist für die Schule ganz gut geeignet, weil es mit Verständnisfragen und Übungen versehen ist. Nicht gerade billig, deshalb würde ich mir privat eher Originalbücher kaufen, die nicht für Lernende aufbereitet sind.
