I love a Kinsey Millhone mystery. She's the type person you want to know.  Quirky, independent, courageous, and totally unpretentious. She doesn't care all that much about her physical appearance and has a sparse wardrobe. She drives an old VW. She knows who she is and she's comfortable with it. 

Wrap that one-of-a-kind PI  around a plot that keeps you turning pages, surround her with interesting characters harboring secrets, include a dash of murder, and finish it off with an unexpected ending. It leaves you wanting to read the next one.
