D is for Deadbeat by Sue Grafton

3.0

I'm enjoying going back and re-reading some of the early books in this series. I like the heroine, Kinsey Millhone - she loves her independence. In this book she and Jonah become more than friends, so I look forward to how that relationship will develop. The book opens with a man walking into her office and giving her the job of delivering $25,000 to a 15 year old boy. When Kinsey tries to bank his retainer cheque, it bounces and she finds out that he's an ex-convict, alcoholic who killed 5 people in a car accident. He turns up dead and Kinsey is sure it's not an accident. I like how Sue Grafton sets up the story so there are several potential candidates for the murderer.
