You have to read it twice
This one largely takes place in the Los Angeles barrio where
Kinsey
is (kind of) undercover investigating insurance fraud and murder for the California Indemnity Company. It's the last one in the series to have a major CIC connection.
You have to re-read this after you've finished because a final three-word sentence stands the whole plot on its head. An even better reason for re-reading is to savor Grafton's English prose style. When she gets a whole building to describe she slightly prolongs things too much, but I love descriptions like this one, of a garage "The late afternoon sun slanted onto the cracked concrete floor in tawny yellow stripes. The air smelled of oil, old tires. and hot metal."

Classic Grafton
If you have started the

Kinsey getting
personally affected by false insurance claims.

It could only happen to Kinsey.
Then again only
Kinsey could
get herself into so much trouble and on gang turf in Los Angeles trying to investigate an insurance fraud claim for California Fidelity. The latter, who has just been bought out and is now run by an efficiency expert, wants to renegotiate her long-standing employment agreement with the previous bosses. Can Kinsey crack the case and save her job? Will she escape the clutches of Luis, Raymond and company in time to buy a new dress for Vera Lipton's wedding? You will have to read it to find out. Stay tuned for futher episodes of Kinsey
Millhone

Sue Grafton does it again
Someone once told me that Sue Grafton's book were for women only. Well, he could not have been any more wrong. The
Alphabet series
is a wonderful series of books and I have read A through H at this point and will continue until I get to the end.
This time,
Kinsey gets
involved in investigating claims to an insurance company that seem fraudulent and she ends up infiltrating an insurance fraud gang as a result. It is Kinsey
Millhone
and Sue Grafton at their best. Don't Miss it! I loved it.
Hurrah for Kinsey Millhone
I love Sue Grafton's work. She has created a wonderful set of characters led by
Kinsey Milhone
, Private Investigator. In this novel Kinsey is investigating insurance fraud and takes her job seriously enough to pose as a hooker in order to get close to the hooker who will lead her to solving the case. This book is as usual a fast paced thriller.
