"F" is for Fugitive by Sue Grafton

arthur_pendrgn's review against another edition

3.0

I liked this series, but it's been a while since I've read one.

This is pretty representative of 80s attitudes and morals, including 80s lit. Lots of stereotypes in play. Grafton certainly supplies multiple suspects. Reading mystery/thriller books before cell phones always makes me laugh. But, seriously, a hotel switchboard in the 80s? That doesn't seem plausible.

This is the best of the series thus far. There were strong motifs of

fatherhood and care

throughout the book that wrapped up all the loose ends quite nicely.

Originally read in the mid- to late-1990s. Enjoyed until the reveal of the villain, at which point there was copious eye-rolling.
