The 11th book with Kinsey Millhone. This one has a lot of classic crime detective elements to it.

A mother comes to Kinsey's office and begs her to take the case of her dead daughter. Dead daughter had a secret life where she was a prostitute. Kinsey has to submerge herself in the night life of said prostitute in order to find out what happened.

I was pretty disappointed with this book. I had to force myself to finish the book and haven't had a problem with that ever on this series. I hope the next book is back to the great reads that I enjoy.

I love this series because it takes me back to the early 90s, when friends would just drop by without calling, information about everything wasn’t in our pocket all the time, and fax machines were pretty darned modern. This installment had some great detective work, and the case moved along nicely until about 75%. The resolution was confusing and the motives weren’t clear. It was still an enjoyable reading experience, but far from Grafton’s best.
