For the longest time, this didn’t really grab me. Then it all kicked off towards the end and redeemed itself into 4 stars. I liked the addition of Dietz, I could stand to read more with him in...

I really enjoyed that there were two story lines throughout this book. And a bit more depth/ twists than previous ones in the series.

Listened to this on audio. It's fun going back to Grafton's earlier work. The stories are a little more straight-forward; not quite so complex. Her writing definitely gets better later, by these early novels are like old friends.

This one's my favourite. It has a nice new dynamic between Kinsey and her bodyguard, a mystery with English lit references, and family drama.

I thought it was so fun.
