The third installment of the Kinsey Millhone series had a slow start for me. It felt as if we didn't get to the true mystery/case of the book until halfway through and the end felt overly rushed. I didn't feel there was enough of the puzzle solving, interviewing of characters, or other fun PI shenanigans we have gotten used to with the two previous books in the series. Bobby was an intriguing character that even with his character flaws had me rooting for him. Though I do wish there had been more of Rosie and Henry in this book. It won't stop me from continuing on in the series, but it won't be a favorite.

I enjoyed this a lot more than A is for Alibi and B is for Burglar. I feel Ms Grafton is starting to hit her stride and getting better at her craft. There was better pacing, suspense and activity in this one. Looking forward to the next in the series.
