Publisher Description
"Ms. Grafton writes a smart story and wraps it up with a wry twist." THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW Wendell Jaffe has been dead for five years--until his former insurance agent spots him in a dusty resort bar. Now California Fidelity wants Kinsey Millhone to track down the dead man. Just two months before, his widow collected on Jaffe's $500,000 life insurance policy--her only legacy since Jaffe went overboard, bankrupt and about to be indicted for his fraudulent real estate schemes. As Kinsey pushes deeper into the mystery surrounding Wendell Jaffe's pseudocide, she explores her own past, discovering that in family matters, as in crime, sometimes it's better to reserve judgment.... A MAIN SELECTION OF THE LITERARY GUILD

"The balcony scene had me laughing out loud. Kinsey is such a riot. The book had some twists and turns that led me in a different path then what I thought. The moral of the story is that you need a body before you can declare someone is dead. Instead of running, I think Kinsey needs to take up swimming."

" Yet again another great read :) "
— Amanda, 2/5/2014 -
" Found this one to be rather flat, and I never became particularly interested in the characters. "
— Greg, 1/23/2014 -
" I re-read this for a long plane journey. Both plot and character hold up well. Kinsey (ironic with an amusing edge to her commentary) tracks down a presumed suicide (who turns out not to have committed suicide) as she learns more about her own family background. "
— Beth, 1/21/2014 -
" I like this series, never a let-down. "
— Simone, 1/16/2014 -
" wow. what a twist at the end... "
— Shally, 1/16/2014 -
" Another one that I wasn't totally in to. It was okay but lacking in something...I only have two left...what will I do with my time? "
— Mishka, 1/12/2014 -

" Another good Grafton book! Kept me entertained during my many hours on Ryan's video shoot "
— Renee, 11/29/2013 -
" Kinsey embarks on another interesting mystery, but my favorite part is actually about her own life and family. There are some interesting developments in this book.... "
— Marissa, 11/27/2013 -
" Sue Grafton books are always an entertaining read. When I'm ready for something fun, but light, I pick up one of her books. "
— Connie, 11/3/2013 -
" The former Wendell Jaffe is apparently not so former. Kinsey's digging into his "widow"s insurance claims, as well as the fraud that led him believe it would be in his best interests to be believed dead. "
— Kyrie, 4/1/2013 -
" I love series. I can't help it, I get sucked in. I was at my daughter's swim meet and a mom was reading V for Vendetta. Well, I knew I couldn't start there and so it started. I read A for alibi and was hooked. Kinsey is a relatable hero and even when I finally got to V- I wanted more! "
— April, 3/9/2013 -
" This one was better - I hope they keep getting better since I'm not even halfway done with the alphabet. "
— Vanessa, 1/8/2013 -

" Another good solid read. Loved it. "
— Greg, 9/24/2012 -
" A good read, as usual. Somewhat complex with multiple themes, but kept me guessing, happy to meet up again with the regulars. Looking forward to K in a couple of weeks. "
— Mimi, 3/7/2012 -
" Solid Milhone. Kept me guessing until the end. Light on the continuing characters, but solid supporting characters. Nice twists in plot. Loved the ending. Recommended. "
— Kenny, 11/8/2011 -
" What can I say - the reason I like this book will remain a mystery. This is the one where she finds out she has cousins and with the nicely named boat "The Lord Stanley". Read it! "
— Richard, 10/26/2011 -
" Good summer reading - always fun. "
— Peg, 7/9/2011 -
" I've read all of the Kinsey books and I enjoy them. There are worse decades to be stuck in than the 80's. I am certainly looking forward to the next. "
— Sharon, 6/30/2011 -

" Sudah lama g bc buku misteri, jdnya bc buku ini. Kasusnya cukup apik, cm penceritaannya gaya hollywood bgt. G ada yg istmw, tp lumayanlah, kayak nonton serial detektif di tv. "
