G Is for Gumshoe by Sue Grafton
4.0
adventurous mysterious tense fast-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This is the second time I have read this book, but it has been about 12 years since the first time so I don't have too much recollection of exactly what happened in the book.

It started out slow in my opinion and there wasn't really much mystery to figure out until about two thirds in. There was two interwoven plots going on, but the one was less mystery and more just an obstacle. When the mystery picked up I instantly got hooked and read through the last third almost uninterrupted. 

I liked the character of Agnes and wished she was around more in the book, but that would have affected the flow I am sure.
