Series: Kinsey Millhone #1 Not a bad mystery, although the romance angle earned a few eyerolls. The main character as a female PI who is actually competent at her job was a nice angle, although I'm not sure if I'll explore the rest of the series.
Kinsey is quite a character.This series focuses on her, she is a private investigator, and this is not only an intro to her but her first case. What a case it is too. So many possibilities and unanswered questions... intrigue, more murder and quite a sexscapade! Would I call this novel brilliant, no...
Can you believe that I had never read any of the Kinsey Millhone books? Pretty much everyone can probably recognize that mystery is far and away my favorite genre, right? And yet, somehow, I had managed to studiously avoid reading a single one of Grafton's wildly popular and incredibly long series a...
The first book in the Kinsey Millhone series. Though I love the series, the first book did have some issues. I think at times the book's flow got a bit rough. And the characters are not very developed yet. Grafton gives a short description of Kinsey. It takes a lot of books to find out about her las...
This is not my genre. Lot's of driving, lot's of talking. Spining wheels in place. There was also a lot of "look what I reseached, isn't it interesting". In little pieces, mercifully, but the instances were numerous. That said, nice trick with the cynical detective/femme fatale trope. Some of the ...
I enjoyed this book for the most part. The writing doesn't feel too terribly dated, in fact the only thing that really stood out was that there was no cell phones. The plot is your typical mystery. Nothing more. Nothing less. If you've read anything by Lawrence Block or Dashiell Hammett or John D. M...
First time reading this author. The book was good. I felt so sad for Kinsey, to let her guard down and to be used like that. No wonder she's got such a wall up. I'm not sure if I'll read more of these series although I do have some of the audiobooks and that will probably be the only way. It's ...
I was starting to get into it and then instead of more mystery/action there were relationships. And since the characters are not very developed and I wasn't even sure I liked them yet, and I definitely don't care about their personal lives, I called it a day. Too bad.
Far be it for me to knock something that has obviously worked well for many years, but I am struggling with this series (I've read C is for Corpse previously, so this is not a one-off thing). I feel like I should have a much better feel for Kinsey's character, especially now after two books, but the...
