inulro19. Indemnity Only by Sara Paretsky
The first of the long-running VI Warshawski detective novels. I grabbed another random one from the library last year or the year before and found it to be perfectly acceptable disposable bus reading. This was pretty much the same.
I can't believe they've been going since 1982!
Disposable is probably unfair - both of the books I've read so far are a little meatier than that, but quite formulaic.
Interestingly, although my first reaction is "wants to be Raymond Chandler", the only fictional detective mentioned by the private eye in the book is Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey.
