G Is for Gumshoe (Abridged) Audiobook

" This story was full of suspense and very fun to read. Another good one. "

" This book will be my last one of this series. I am not very impressed. "

" There's a lot going on is G is for Gumshoe. Kinsey is hired to find her client's missing mother in the Mojave Desert. She also learns that a criminal she helped nab has hired a hit man to kill her. The two plots revolve around Kinsey's efforts to find the missing woman and evade a killer. She enlists help, hiring a body guard. "

" It never was clear why G is for Gumshoe. Maybe I have missed some sort of literary verbiage or crime speak? I found this book to be rather annoying. The story line was strange and Grafton tried to merge two rather large plots into one story. I'm not sure if it worked or not. With the success of her books overall people would say it worked but Grafton has a cult following of sorts, which is the mystery I'm still trying to figure out. "

" Kinsey is on a hit list and hires a male bodyguard type while she tries and figures out who is after her. "

" The plot of this book was a little weak. And the ending sucked.. But it was good that Kinsey is starting to be less of a jerk. I hope this dietz character is in more books! "

" another easy read by grafton "

" Good plot, good mystery. As you read these stories, Kinsey starts to become a more fleshed out character. "

" Typical Grafton story. I would call her a template writer. She is not complex but maintains your interest. "

" Enjoyed this one. Great read for traveling. "

" My first & last Grafton. "

" This one had a lot of potential. But I don't think it quite hit it. It was still a good story though. "

" I caught the Bronte reference. "

" I love her style of writing w/ the exception of the language. "

" in which kinsey drives to the mojave dessert with a price on her head. kinsey, don't escape from your bodyguard when there's a trained assassin on your trail. it's stupid. "

" One of my favorites so far! But I'm trying to figure out why non of Kinsey's loves stick around!!!! "

" I finally gave up on the series after listening to this one. "

" Not many books have a setting around Brawley, CA and the Salton Sea - a place I am familiar with. Of course the rest is around Kinsey's home town of Santa Teresa (which is a made-up town)along the coast. This one was good and moved right along. "

" This is a good, suspense-filled detective series. Be aware the series has strong language and adult situations. "

" Exactly what I look for in a Grafton book. Finished it in less than 24 hours. :-) "

" It's... ok. Confusing relationships, and a dismayingly flat end to the book. The protagonist is very down to earth, funny, appealing. The mystery was "solved" but no motive was explained... leaves you asking "Ok, but whyyyy?" Can't say I'd read another one of her books. "

" A nice and easy detective mystery great for passing time. I am very fond of this entire series of books. They certainly aren't a literary marvel but they are fun and light. By the letter G the books are finally starting to get longer with a little more substance. "

" Pretty good. I really like spending some time with Kinsey Milhone. "

" Why yes, I am devouring these books? What of it?! "

" See my review on Sue Grafton's "A is for Alibi" for info on what I think of this series. "

" Sue Grafton has certainly proved herself as a top-notch author! Did I mention that she really appreciates her readers?! "

" One summer I read all of her books (probably 10-12 were published at the time), and G is for Gumshoe sticks out in my brain as being a great, suspenseful read. "

" Another great Kinsey Millhone novel... this time Kinsey is hired to find an elderly woman, while being pursued by a hit man. Little does she know how much danger she is in, or what kind of mystery the old woman has. A thriller to the very end! "

" Kinsey Millhone's P.I. work put her life on the line and what seemed like touch and go, her instincts got her out of a very precarious situation. Another wonderful read! "

" Exactly what I look for in a Grafton book. Finished it in less than 24 hours. :-) "

" Good plot, good mystery. As you read these stories, Kinsey starts to become a more fleshed out character. "

" Well I love it, the character of Kinsey is really opening up and we are seeing into her. She is one complex lady. I like it! Definately next please. "

" You have to love Grafton's character Kinsey Milhone, PI. She works in the same fictional town in California as Ross Macdonald's sleuth Archer. That alone recommends her. All her books are good, this happens to be my favorite. "

" Grafton's books are, for me, consistently entertaining and satisfying. "

" I read all the books in this series. They are nothing earth-shattering and after reading a few, you can see the formula. But I like the Kinsey character and they are easy and fun to read. "
