Publisher Description

Kinsey Millhone's latest client is Malek Construction, a $40 million company still in family hands. It doesn't take an accountant to see that the four Malek brothers stand to inherit a fortune. But one of the brothers has been missing for 18 years, and Kinsey's assignment is to find him. The stock of family memories is filled with nothing but bitterness, and the prodigal son will find no comfort at the Malek table. If there's one thing that goes hand in hand with bad blood, it's murder -- and that's just around the corner.

"This was my first Sue Grafton book and I loved it! Now I want to go back and start the series at letter "A" to see how her novels progress. A suspenseful murder mystery mixed with interesting and very real characters, humor and psychological musings...a good read!"

    " (one review for series) ***** for the first book because I like the series enough to last till about R, now want more to find new authors, and finish another year. The rest get 3-4* because I cannot remember my favorites. I like strong, brave females who make choices and deal with consequences successfully. I like mysteries. I like funny eccentric, her odd sandwich and cute old landlord choices. Southern California feels warm and dry on a long cold Canadian winter. She always seems to go alone in the dark to meet the bad guy and get shot at the end (no,no), but why mess with success? "

    " 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. "

    " I love Sue Grafton & Kinsey Milhone. This one wasn't quite as good as some of the others, but still good. I started it on vacation in March and just now finished. Can't wait to read some of the others as soon as I can figure out which ones I haven't read! "

    " I really wanted to like this, since I really like the person who suggested this series... but I don't. The writing is sophmoric, the plot is weak, and the characters are too flat. It didn't help that the narration was mediocre. "

    " 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 "
