K is for Killer by Sue Grafton

adventurous dark funny lighthearted mysterious relaxing medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Another page turner from the Kinsey Millhone series. Kinsey is razor sharp, fearless and impatient, but the thing I love most is when she goes off on a random rumination, for example imagining what spiders might say to each other about us, or a fantasy about what horrors might be lurking down a hole. There is a constant internal monologue which helps to set the scene and give her impression of people but they also go off on bizarre lights of fancy and are often really funny. 
This one I re-read when I'd nearly got to the end because I didn't want to finish, it was that good. 
It's only 4.5 because it's very much of a type, and also I found Kinsey's attitude a bit problematic at times, but having said that she is meant to be a flawed character which makes her more interesting.It's got everything I want from a whodunnit and more and I enjoyed it enormously.
