i love the details she gives about the characters and the settings in the book, makes you feel like you are there. Even though the stories are stand alone reading from the first book is recommended so you keep up with the lead role and other repeat characters. For this book it came down to the end and had no clue who done it.

My first Sue Grafton book and I have to say I was not overly impressed. I read it in about two days but it was a very typical mystery book - no major plot twists, not hard to figure out. I think I would have to give her another go before writing her off completely - her A,B,C, etc. books seem to be so popular. But if there are all like this one, I won't be a Sue Grafton follower.

Much better than the first 2 of the series - the ending isn't quite as predictable & easy to see long in advance as those. I'll admit to a healthy amount of eye rolling in one of the final scenes where Kinsey is taking a long time to discover evidence, though. As if the bad guy is just gonna let her take her sweet time finding that. *shrug* Ah well. Overall, I enjoyed it.

So far so good... if you like the Kinsey Millhone books you have to read this one to get to the seemingly thousands of others!
