I really enjoyed this mystery! Sue Grafton is so good at setting up mysteries and keeping you guessing the whole time. I love Kinsey’s relationship with Henry and I look forward to seeing their friendship continue and grow.
A favourite of the series thus far. I really liked the wide range of minor characters in this book and there was a particularly good death!
I don't often read mysteries or crime novels, but picked this up out of curiosity since these books are so popular. It was entertaining enough that I read the whole thing, but I doubt I'll read any more of this series.

was a little surprised by the ending and who had comitted the crime. One of the better of her books.
I actually had this murderer guessed pretty early on, but it was still a fast and entertaining read just like all the Kinsey Millhone mysteries.

I liked this, but I do think it fell apart a little towards the end. While some of these Millhone books are straight mysteries, some add thriller elements in and this is one of those, except it doesn't quite hold together for me in that respect. I think Kinsey made it harder for herself than she needed to, and it might not have gone into thriller territory if she'd kept her head and not run haring off. I began to wonder if she was a little - not addled, but still affected by - the explosions of the last book. She felt jumpy, which is fair enough under the circumstances, but only if the story is aware of her jumpiness. It's one thing to present a character as making hasty decisions as a result of lingering trauma, and it's another to have the trauma and the hasty decisions and have the story not make the connection, averring that this is business as usual.
What I tend to like best about this protagonist is her sensible practicality, so I hope she goes home, gets hold of herself, and comes back in the next book a bit less jittery.
