These Kinsey Millhouse novels are the perfect summer reads. Kinsey is in a new office, and is the contractor for a new client. I'm going to miss California Fidelity Insurance and the characters i met there, but change can be good.

I spent this entire story swinging back and forth as to whether David Barney killed his estranged wife. I honestly did not like David Barney. If this book was written today , he would have been labeled a stalker. He even started stalking Kinsey. But does that make him a killer. I was surprised by the answer.

This book is getting back to the Kinsey Millhone I know and love. After recently being fired from California Fidelity insurance which also meant she lost access to her office, Kinsey has to start again. She rents space from Lonnie Kingman, a local lawyer and ends up being hired by him as well. His previous investigator Morley Shine (you have to love the names!) recently died of a heart attack. The case Lonnie has her working on is the civil trial of David Barney. Barney has been acquitted of the murder of his wife Isabelle. However he is being sued by Isabelle's first husband, Ken Voigt, for wrongful death. As Kinsey once trained with Morley, she is shocked at the state of his files. She has to start again by piecing together who Morley has actually interviewed and what information he has uncovered. Then Kinsey starts to wonder about the timing of Morley's death - and the manner ... was it really a heart attack? As she recreates the night of Isabelle's death, more and more doesn't add up. I also loved the side story featuring her lovely landlord Henry and his brother who has come to stay.
