I liked this book more than the first, and I really liked that one too!Kinsey is one helluva character! She's tough, smart and can get to the heart of a mystery in no time. She has great instincts. Sue Grafton was an incredible writer!You almost forget that Kinsey is not a real person when you read ...

After surviving almost being murdered in the first book, Kinsey is still dealing with having to take a life. When she gets another case looking into a missing woman, Kinsey hopes that keeps the ghosts that haunt her at bay. We get more insight into Kinsey, more development for characters like Henry ...

Kinsey Millhone takes on a missing persons case that seems to be connected to a murder.So far, these alphabet mysteries have been pretty average. Although it is an improvement from the previous book, it still proceeds from plot point to plot point without any particular flair or sense of urgency. Su...

This is one of a number of books I read over the holiday period, but didn't have the time (or more honestly the inclination) to write a review as I was reading it, so this review will not be as long or as detailed as my usual reviews are. Christmas was crazy busy with cooking and last minute shoppi...

Another reread. Unfortunately I remembered the main twist within a few chapters, but I still enjoyed seeing how it all worked out.

I love Kinsey Milhone and one of the things I love about this book is not only is there a very interesting puzzle to solve, but we get a glimpse of all the details it takes for the detective to solve them. I like seeing the mundane little efforts she makes because so often we're just told answers wi...

When I read a detective novel, it's more than just dessert reading. I try to use it as a brain puzzle. The process is pretty straightforward. A good detective novel will give you (the reader) everything you need to solve the mystery as soon or sooner than the detective in the novel. I simply tak...

Fairly quick and easy read. OK plot. I was a little disappointed in the ending.

B is for Burglar is a good second installment in the Kinsey Millhone series. The author fixed a lot of the things that bugged me when I read A is for Alibi - though there were still some jarringly dumb lines in the book.The good news is that we finally get Kinsey's back story, making it possible to...

I've read another of Sue Grafton's novels, and just like the previous one, this did nothing for me. Between the plot, the characterization, the writing style, there's nothing about it that stands out as being anything above mediocre. In this novel, Kinsey goes looking for an eccentric wealthy woman....
