So I think I figured out the Template that Sue Grafton uses when she writes these stories. It starts out with Kinsey getting a “simple” assignment, which ends up being more than she bargained for, she waxes on about how competent and ballsy she is only two in aptly stumbling through each mystery to its conclusion. She also seems to get her ass handed to her multiple times in each book and is on the verge of a breakdown after each incident. This has pretty much happened in every book and this book was no exception, but at least we didn’t have to deal with any of her romantic entanglements with married people so that’s a plus, the thing is even with this formula I Kinda, like the stories in a roll, your eyes kind of way.

I'm working my way through these alphabetically. I think I started around L when I first started reading. They are a little uneven in the beginning but this one started to feel like the Kinsey I knew.

Excellent! Everything about it. From character development to plots and plot twists. Best letter of the alphabet so far. Couldn’t put it down.

I was pretty confused trying to figure out who everyone was, even at the end I still am not sure.

Another solid story. Had more trouble keeping track of what was happening in this one though.
