Kinsey is a private investigator in a small wealthy coastal town. She’s a loner, a divorcee, and mystery solver. Very formulaic and basic, but who doesn’t love a basic whodunnit?
Additionally, it was fun to read an 80s setting as a Gen Zer. The pay phones and have to reroute calls when traveling was interesting and a bit funny to imagine.
However, Kinsey is definitely not a nice person. Major thing I disliked about her and her narration was the full on fatphobia. Would avoid this book is that is a trigger or something that upsets you.
Now, something that confused me
