"I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. The characters were interesting and many had unique personalities. I did manage to guess whom the killer was before the detective. A little more time on the post ending wrap up would have been nice, but otherwise the ending was entertaining. "

" These books are pretty much alike, but I had the tapes, and needed something to listen to in the car. If you've read any of them, you know what this one is like. "
— Pattyb, 2/3/2014" Not my favorite in the series. My mind kept wandering so I'd have to replay chapters. I like a mystery that grips and this wasn't it. Disappointing, but one can't expect every story an author writes to be top-notch. Still love the author and I like the series "
— Sharon, 2/3/2014" I love all of Sue Grafton's book. I love her sense of humor and she always has an unexpected twist at the end. Looking forward to more. "
— Phyllis, 2/3/2014" I was a bit perturbed by this one. I was blown away when the killer was revealed. I didn't get that at all. LOL it was also sad, but I like the vulnerability shown in Kinsey in this book. I really enjoyed the book overall. "
— Sassafrass, 2/1/2014" Maybe not as suspenseful as others of this series but I enjoyed seeing the vulnerable side of Kinsey this book. "
— Julie, 2/1/2014" I am having a hard time getting into this one... "
— Theresa, 1/11/2014" I always enjoyed this series, I just caught up on the backlist and forgot to look for new titles as they came out. I'd like to catch up some day. "

— Becky, 12/15/2013" The plot was really well thought out and interesting... I really enjoyed the ending too quite the twist. "
— Ellisse, 11/21/2013" Kinsey Millhone is a fun and spunky PI heroine. The alphabet series is great because it takes place starting in 1982. PI work seems terribly rudimentary before cellphones, the internet and other modern technology. References to gabardine suits and Chardonnay are greatly appreciated. "
— Rachel, 11/8/2013Sue Grafton (1940–2017) was a New York Times bestselling author published in twenty-eight countries and twenty-six languages. She began her alphabet series in 1982, and they have become international bestsellers, with readership in the millions. Like Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald, she earned new respect for the mystery form.
