Description

Reba Lafferty, spoiled as a child with priviledges, gets out of jail for embezzlement at the age of 32. Her father is finally there for her and wants her to stay straight at home, so he hires someone to watch her. It seems like easy money, until one of Reba's old crowd comes circling around.

Ummm. As much as I'd like to cheer Sue Grafton on as she soldiers on toward 'Z', this limp installment had me feeling she'd might as well just give it up already. The tics and tropes that were so endearing in the earlier Kinsey Milhone books have been written and overwritten to the point of

becoming grotesque. At 350 pages, this book was a chore to finish.

Very good.

So I admit I had issues with Kinsey in this one. I would have left Reba to her own devices long before Kinsey. I just didn’t understand her need to make sure Reba was okay or what she was thinking in going along with Reba’s dumb ass antics. I also didn’t like the focus on Kinsey’s love

life. I never feel as though any of these guys are going to be in Kinsey’s life for the long-term so I don’t see why need to invest so much time with them.

The case interesting and really brought to light how much people of a certain class are allowed the freedom to get away with stuff. It also showed that it doesn’t matter how much money or “class” someone has they can still be a criminal or a greedy bitch. I do like the ingenuity that Sue Grafton uses to bring new cases into Kinsey’s orbit. Very rarely is it just some stranger walking in the door to ask for Kinsey’s help. I liked seeing more of Henry and his relationship because it showed that you can learn something about yourself at any age.

I know this isn’t much of a review but that is about all I have.
