Rating: Summary: I is for Intriguing! Review: The authenticity of character development makes this a fantastic read, however, I gave it three stars for two reasons: 1. the section where the girl from the motel says she can identify the truck from a moments glance at it from an accident that she witnessed 5 years ago was unrealistic and 2. when it was discovered who "dunnit" we never got to find out why from the "horse's" mouth (just left to assume she was murdered for reasons made obvious from earlier descriptions of the relationship between Isabelle and her killer). I would have liked to hear more from the murderer but overall I would recommend this book for fans of Grafton. I will definitley go on to indulge in J is for Judgment!
Rating: Summary: Great read Review: The book had one of the most unexpected endings
Rating: Summary: Best of Show! Review: There are no bad books in Sue Grafton's alphabet series, only varying degrees of good. That said, the series, to date, reached its peak somewhere around "F" or "G" and held its top form at least through "L." This one is my pick for best of the lot-which is saying a good deal. The book features a temporarily subdued Kinsey (still smarting under a career setback encountered in a prior book), the usual cast of rich snobs, an unusually intriguing puzzle whose vital clues I spotted but nevertheless failed to piece together, some unusually likeable supporting characters, and a lot of Santa Barbara (oops Theresa) atmosphere.Next time I point friends at the series, this is where I'll tell them to start. Highly recommended.

Rating: Summary: GOT ANY TIME TO READ WITHOUT PUTTING THE BOOK DOWN? Review: This book is excellent-as all of Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone books that I've read. Sue really knows how to make the story intriguing, yet without making it too suspenseful. And Kinsey is not the most typical P.I. either; for one thing she's a woman and for another thing, she's the hard-butted detective that we all crave for in our books. She's also bitingly funny even at the most mysterious moments. So let's give Sue and Kinsey a high-five.
Rating: Summary: I is for Innocent Review: This book is not as good as some of Grafton's other books but still has the same type of quality that she exhibits in all of her books. In this one, Kinsey is asked to follow up a deceased PI in solving a 6-year old murder.

Rating: Summary: A rather good find. Review: This novel may prove to be one of the better enteries in Garfton's series. It is well worth the time it takes to read.
Rating: Summary: Once you Start, it is hard to put down! Review: Very good book, in the alphabet series, but one of the more complicated ones. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good mystery!
Rating: Summary: So So Review: Was lacking Graftons usual crazy humor. The ending was a real gotcha tho. Shooting someone thru a doors peephole is kinda neat.... ingenious :o) But why did they remove the fisheye? Wouldn't a bullet be able to blast right thru all that? Or no? Epilogue was too short again as usual.
