A fast and fun ride with Kinsey
Sue Grafton is an amazing talent! In H Is For
Homicide
,
Kinsey's case
has her dealing with some tough characters in even tougher areas around Los Angeles. The departure from Santa Teresa seems to be displeasing to some, but Grafton is able to put Kinsey into almost any situation anywhere and make it believable and entertaining. There are many great scenes with Kinsey, using a fun alias, dealing with her desire to get away from the shady creatures she's involved with while also facing her unstoppable desire to right wrongs and help out those in danger. Raymond and Bibianna are particularly memorable supporting characters as well.

Homicide Look
There is a
homicide
and
Kinsey doesn't
want any part of it because she is already busy with a case. Kinsey's case takes her all over Los Angeles. The question is are the two cases related? The suspense keeps building and you cannot put it down. It is a great mystery, read and enjoy it. By Ruth Thompson author of "The Bluegrass Dream" and "Natchez Above The River"

Another winner
It's been a while since I read one of her books, but they're just as great as I remember. I don't recall her others being quite so violent as this, but the violence was necessary to the story. As an added bonus, but one that applies solely to this reader, I once had what I thought was a great idea for an antagonist in a thriller but was horribly unable to write the thing. Sue Grafton used a similar idea quite successfully here. I hate to see great ideas go to waste, so I'm happy she did that. As a fine and final endorsement of this novel, I'm going to read another one. Next week, unfortunately. Tough editing schedule.

the ending will get ya
I started the series when my husband went off to Iraq and sadly I got out of order! Finally, getting back to the begining of the series and I was at "H" Far and away her best book yet (and I have read the most recent). I admit I was concerned for
Kinsey
and had to skip certain passages. However, the last three words (as another reviewer aptly put it) will have me picking up the book again and reading it much more closely.
Kinsey in LA
H is for
Homicide
...the books just keep getting better.
Kinsey
is interested in the apparent homicide of a casual work acquaintance. Soon, she is investigating one of his ex clients for insurance fraud. In no time Kinsey is in over her head and without protection in Los Angeles in a gang ridden hood. She is undercover, and there is a surprise at the end. It is interesting to see Kinsey functioning totally out of her element and home environment.
