I think K is for Killer is the most frustrating Kinsey Millhone mystery yet. Half of the plot was left dangling, characters are developed only to disappear and never be mentioned again, and the conclusion was shockingly truncated.

The book was OK but there were far too many loose ends left at the end of the story. It almost felt like the author just got tired of writing the story and ended the book. Not one of her best works.

Plot was weak - the reason for killing Lorna wasn't fully developed and left a lot of holes. Who was Lorna's fiance? How did the sisters get the tape in the first place? How did Danielle eventually die - was it murder, or complications? And who attacked her - her pimp or the murderer? Just lots of holes.
I didn't like the way the reader read some of the characters. The sisters, especially, didn't jive. These women were supposed to be in their late 20s and they sounded like pre-teens. Danielle fluctuated from very mature to silly.
It held my attention, but wasn't the best.

Read it for the alphabet challenge. It was ok, but generally speaking I’m not a murder mystery fan. The ending was odd.

I was really disappointed in this one. The story kept me turning pages, but that was the most unsatisfying ending to a book that I remember in a long time. They answered one question and left me with about a hundred more. I don't need a mystery to end the way I envision, but I would at least like a good 80% resolution. I closed this book feeling annoyed. The last 5 pages tainted the previous 280 for me. Blah.

Well, it all was going well until the ending. Very disappointed how it turned out, automatically docks 2 stars just for that.

This one started out strong in my opinion but then became somewhat uneventful up until the last chapter or two. I was somewhat disappointed by how the book ended in terms of what happened, but I am curious how it may affect Kinsey in future books (if at all).
