Too much going on for me in this one. Things were too disconnected and nonrelated. I was only happy that Kinsey got herself a new apartment and a love interest.

G is for Great book!
adventurous mysterious slow-paced

Always fun, always engaging. I'm working my way through the alphabet. I'm re-reading some, reading others for the first time.

Quick and enjoyable read. I am a little disappointed that the contract killer just happened to be more into the hunt than getting the job done and not financially dependent on the job. It is just a little convenient and seems easily solved by the body guard being good at his job.

I'll be honest, I only picked up this book because it had a Volkswagon Beetle on the cover, and at the time I drove one.
And I found not only a female lead I could admire, but a world that was normal and sinister, sweet and ugly, all at the same time.

I've kept up with the series and enjoyed at least 80%, and if her last two books (I think we're at "U") are any indication, the series will end spectacularly.
