This is my first Sue Grafton book and I really enjoyed it. I read it in part as part of a 2012 fiction genre challenge I took on at the beginning of this year. But I enjoy a good mystery and have read several Dorothy Sayre books over the years. This is the first of the Kinsey Millhone alphabet series.
I found it to be challenging and engaging with good twists and turns and Kinsey is definitely NOT Miss Marple!

first of Sue Grafton books i have read so figured i start from the beginning. i enjoyed the book with the different twist and turns along the way. i did have an idea who did it 3/4 away trough the book but took almost to the end to confirm. i will be looking forward to continuing my way trough the alphabet with her.

It was just okay. I had correctly guessed one of the two guilty parties, but did not expect the other. That automatically makes this a pretty okay mystery to me, however... I didn't enjoy the writing style. I found it very dry and methodical. I get that it goes well with the genre and the detective's way of thinking and living, but I don't find it enjoyable.

I read this book many years ago and remembered liking it better than I did this time. I'm going to try B, which I also read a long time ago and then decide if I will continue on.

Pretty good mystery. Didn't figure out the killer until almost the end.
