I quite enjoyed this old school mystery. Didn’t blow me away but will read more in the series. Interested to see how Kinsey’s character develops.

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.
