F Is for Fugitive by Sue Grafton
4.0

Restaurants used to have smoking and non-smoking sections. It's all coming back to me now, how it was.

Bonus points for this installation of the series taking place in a town my where my in-laws used to live, which I recognized from the distinctive hotel described in the book, at which I have actually stayed. Ha!

This was delightful, and claustrophobic, graphic and unexpected, and I really dug it.

Kinsey's a spectacular wild hedgehog of a human being, but what really blew me away was that usually when an author makes a home for their series in one particular town, and really goes in on that town, any book they write in a different place is somehow seriously less than. This is not the case here. Grafton was as at home in Floral Beach as she was in Santa Barbesa.

Delicious, with that weird gummy taste you get in your mouth after you drink a Fruit Punch-flavored Capri Sun.
