While I like succinct stories, this was too much. When there was detail, it was frivolous. Not sure if I'll read more of them or not yet.

I was super excited to read this book due to the amazing things I had heard about Grafton's Alphabet series. However, I was left disappointed by both the plot and the writing. I felt the ending was expected and found myself skimming over the last few chapters. A good mystery but nothing to keep you on the edge of your seat.

I actually read these a long time ago. I can't believe I remembered who the bad guy was going to be from the beginning of the book. Hmm.

I listened to this while I was on a drive to visit my mom on Friday. It was a very nice distraction and I will definitely continue with the series when I need some light entertainment.

Read this for my annual book challenge. I liked it, but I don’t think I’ll continue the series.
Things I liked:
Things I liked:
- Listening to the old technology in the book made me chuckle. Who has an answering service anymore?
- Kinsey exercises, but doesn’t overly enjoy it. I can relate to that.
- The pace picked up in the last 25% and it was more enjoyable.
Things I didn’t like:
- I was not ok with her leaving a dead body.
- I was annoyed by all the driving back and forth. It was difficult to keep track of who was where.
- I got bogged down by the details of what wine people were drinking and who ordered the chef salad.
- The first 75% was pretty boring.

I kept comparing this book to Janet Evanovich's books and it just didn't come close to measuring up. It kind of reminded me of Dragnet. I thought it was pretty good though, with a surprising ending.

2.5 stars. It was an okay read but I wish we had heard the killer's motives directly from them instead of through what Kinsey assumed/discovered. This book spent a lot of time describing houses and bars and neighborhoods. Some of that time could have been spent putting more into the actual story. Also there are MANY typos
