Q is for Quarry by Sue Grafton

4.0

As I was reading the book, I thought that the author seemed to be putting together an atypical story to fit into the the "quarry" description. It was nice to learn more about Dolan; since his details weren't very deep in the past, it provided more flexibility for the story. What started as a big longshot of a case, a lot of lucky breaks allowed for an eventual solution of the case. The deep development of the supporting cast of characters added a lot of possibilities to what eventually happened in the past and as a result of the investigation. It turns out to be related to an actual open-ended case, which added to the story with procedural details.
