Listening to an audio book at home was a new experience for me, and I'm not crazy about it. I prefer to read. That being said, I did get some crocheting and tidying done that wouldn't have happened if I hadn't felt the need to DO SOMETHING while listening. The story was pretty typical Sue Grafton, but not her best. Or maybe it's just that it was an audio book. Left one whole story line hanging. Will have to read the next one soon so I can see if it continues.

I thought this was one of the better Kinsey Millhone books. The story line is more complex than some of the books in this series and there is a nice parallel with Kinsey examining her beliefs about her own family while investigating her case that also has a lot to do with family and relationships.

Found this book in a box while cleaning out a storage closet. Read it on a whim and found it enjoyable but forgettable.

This was a good story. I like her books. I always have a few laughs listening to the novels. I liked the story and it was always moving.

Interesting premise, standard Kinsey Milhone sass
I love the bits we learn about Kinsey’s family. It is completely missing from the abridged version, which is SO MUCH SHORTER
Her struggle with identity when she finds out she does have family is so melancholy.
The abridged version I listen to originally was only maybe three hours long. This version is nine hours long and there was so much missing from the abridged version. It feels like an entirely different book.

This is book J in the Kinsey Millhone alphabet series. Yes, it's a re-read but I'd forgotten where I left off, so I went back to I and started over from there. I did remember slightly a bit of this book, but only the backstory part. Like I, i was distracted by the old methods, driving around to find phones instead of calling people on their cells, not looking things up online. A lot of waste. But it just serves to remind me how life was back then, which I don't remember too well anymore lol. There's something i kind of don't like about Kinsey anymore, when i used to like her a lot. I dunno. The mystery part itself was just ok. I'm still going to continue on with this series, because it's not bad, and i'd really like to make it to Z.
