Hare's new novel is Miss Aldridge Regrets.
At CrimeReads she tagged seven unconventional women at the heart of great novels, including:
Indemnity Only, by Sara ParetskyRead about another entry on the list.
My introduction to the unconventional woman was through Indemnity Only, Sara Paretsky’s first V.I. Warshawski novel. A missing person’s case turns into a murder investigation, but it’s V.I. herself who kept me turning the pages when I first picked this up. The divorced daughter of a Chicago cop and an Italian opera singer, V.I. is so fiercely independent and I’d never come across anyone like her before, either in real life or in fiction.
