Good and bad things seem to be coming in threes for Kinsey Millhone: on her 33rd birthday she moves back into her renovated apartment, gets hired to find an elderly lady supposedly living in the Mojave Desert by herself, and makes the top of ex-con Tyrone Patty's hit list. It's the last that convinces Kinsey even she can't handle whoever's been hired to whack her, and she gets herself a bodyguard: Robert Dietz, a Porsche-driving P.I. who takes guarding Kinsey's body very seriously. With Dietz watching her for the merest sign of her usual recklessness, Kinsey plunges into her case. And before it's over, she'll unearth the gruesome truth about a long-buried betrayal and, in the process, come face-to-face with her own mortality.

Another solid story. Had more trouble keeping track of what was happening in this one though.
I was pretty disappointed with "F is for Fugitive" but this was a vast improvement! The description of The Slabs and the Salton Sea were interesting enough to get me started researching the areas. The characters were sympathetic and Kinsey showed some real vulnerability instead of the constant sneer...
Audiobook. Another good, quick story about Kinsey. It's a pleasure to listen to while I am walking with my dog
