Cate Cole asked this question about Dead Land (V.I. Warshawski, #20):
Do you think that Dead Land is just too scatter-shot with it's political intrigues which takes away from the murder mystery itself?

She spent most of the novel trying to resolve the Lydia Zamar situation,…moreI believe the Chile aspect was not just a subplot, but one of two main plots. She spent most of the novel trying to resolve the Lydia Zamar situation, which also involved TWO murder mysteries--who killed Simon, and who shot Hector. She wanted to tell that story from the start. I don't think I'd have enjoyed a book all about Chicago land use fights.(less)
