Good Kinsey Millhone read

I enjoyed this offering in the Kinsey Millhone series. I was also glad to see Kinsey with a boyfriend, Cheney Phillips. Let's not have him disappear from the scene later, too, like Robert Dietz!

Juicy! A very fun Kinsey novel

After being a tad disappointed with a couple of the last books in this series that I read, I was very pleased with R is For Ricochet. I loved the introduction of the character Reba and thought she had excellent chemistry with Kinsey. I found it quite believable that Kinsey would be drawn to her and want to help her even in spite of some of her actions. I would be pleased to see Reba make an appearance in a future Kinsey book, but I doubt it would happen. Grafton seems to keep the characters largely separate in her books, which makes it pretty easy to pick up and start from any novel in the series. The jacket makes it clear that much of this novel deals with love and it's certainly true; I enjoyed reading about all of the romances and liked how it felt thematic throughout this particular entry. One of my favourite Kinsey books I've read so far!

R is for Ricochet is another thrilling installment in Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone series.

Reba Lafferty was a daughter of privilege, the only child of an adoring father. Over the years, he quietly settled her many scrapes with the law, but he wasn't there for her when she was convicted of embezzlement and sent to the California Institute for Women. Now, at thirty-two, she is about to be paroled, having served twenty-two months of a four-year sentence. Nord Lafferty wants to be sure she stays straight, stays at home and away from the drugs, the booze, the gamblers.

It seems a straightforward assignment for Kinsey: babysit Reba until she settles in, make sure she follows all the rules of her parole. Maybe all of a week's work. Nothing untoward?the woman seems remorseful and friendly. And the money is good. But life is never that simple, and Reba is out of prison less than 24 hours when one of her old crowd comes circling around.

Readers have come to expect the unexpected from Sue Grafton, and R is for Ricochet is no exception. In it, a complex and clever money-laundering scheme is just a cover for a novel that is all about love: love gone wrong, love betrayed, love denied. And love avenged. For Reba Lafferty, its moral is clear: Sometimes what you hand out in life comes back to bite you in the ass. Sometimes the good guys win, even when they lose.
