This is my favorite Sue Grafton book so far. Probably because the plot of her book is based on a true case of a young woman murdered and her body left in a quarry. The homicide occurred in 1969 and the young woman has never been identified. There are artist sketches of the woman at the end of the book, hoping someone will identify her. Grafton did a great job developing a story about this woman and continued to build Kinsey’s story too. It’s interesting how she gains personal insight as she examines her relationships with friends and family.

I debated dropping this a star because there are just a *few* too many characters. So maybe 3.75. But overall I really liked the story.
One of the better Kinsey stories, I found myself LOL'ing quite a few times between the 'grumpy old men' element and Henry's calendar pinup photo.

I picked this up longing for a "series" to get in to. Perhaps I would have liked it more if I'd started on A, but my issues were more with her writing style (predictable and sounded a lot like a voice-over in a bad police drama).
Good to hear more of Kinsey's family and background. Interesting crime as well.
A tops author, interesting plots , great characters and always, yes always an excellent read.
