I love this series, the author always goes into great detail of the locations and the characters that you can clearly see them in your mind as you read. In this book i clearly had no clue as to who was guilty, i taught i had it figured out to be one of two suspects but was wrong, Looking forward to moving on to the next letter. ( )

I love Kinsey Millhone. But she's not everyone's cup of tea. I started reading the Alphabet series a few years ago - I think at the time it was up to O is for Outlaw. The idea of a mystery series each title beginning with a new letter amused me. I don't know why. I don't think it's particularly original. At least - I've seen a few others since. At the time though it was new to me and it just struck me as perfect. I flew through the series. Kinsey is riveting. She's brash and harsh and charming. She's fierce and flawed. She gets scared. She holds her own. She pushes herself to run often and tackles cases without judgement and with an open mind. Rosie and Henry are brilliant and I love the little family she builds around her.

But Kinsey Millhone isn't Jack Reacher - her speed is more Tracy Crosswhite. [book:My Sister's Grave|22341263] Her cases aren't full of action and high speed chases - they're slowly nitpicking away until something clicks into place. She writes down all her thoughts and places her facts and ideas on 3x5 index cards - which she often shuffles and rearranges to help her solve her case. And I love it. Kinsey Millhone is great - but she's not for everyone.

For some reason I've seen reviewers compare this to Stephanie Plum - I don't know why - this is absolutely NOTHING like that. Stephanie Plum is a very different character and an extremely different type of book. That's more fluff. Kinsey Millhone is more procedural mysteries. And this series isn't current - it was first published in the 80's - there's not really technology. Messages were relayed by calling the landlines. Paper files were still the main form of storage. Not everyone will enjoy reading this. But if you like your mysteries to be more like procedurals with a determined and fierce character - Kinsey Millhone is for you.

Lol Kinsey being scared of needles. I enjoyed this one. I felt sorry for Bailey. His family sucks.

3.5 stars. ( )

Příběh, v němž dávná vražda zasahuje do života současných lidí, je napsán se smyslem pro gradaci, citem pro psychologii a pietu k zákonům klasické detektivky.

Welcome back to the 1980s! Originally published in 1989, this book is set when private investigators had a lot of footwork to do. The ubiquitous Web wasn't available, cell phones weren't a thing, and proper society was a bit more straitlaced.

Kinsey Millhone is outside her usual setting, traveling to another town to solve an older mystery. The hotel she stays in, owned by her client, is a bit creepy. The client's family disturbed me as much as Kinsey. But the author plays fair with her readers, letting them solve the mystery, too, with nothing hidden from them.

The series is becoming a cozy mystery combined with the PI mystery subgenres. I like both, so the series is going to be right up my alley. If you like both, then this book should be right up yours, too. While the books can be read in any order, as with any good cozy mystery, you'll get the most out of reading them in order, so start with "A" and catch up to this one. I enjoyed this book enough that I bought the next book. ( )

I could really place myself in the small community that K.M. finds herself in, in this story. SG really does write good descriptions of the townsfolk and geography of the area, which takes you right there. The investigation itself is suspenseful and has enough twists to leave you wondering till the end. ( )

The Ocean Street Motel in Floral Beach, California, is located, oddly enough, on Ocean Street, a stone's throw from the sea wall that slants ten feet down toward the Pacific.
