Summary: Great Stuff!!
Review: In 'C is for Corpse' Kinsey is hired by an amnesiac who feels that someone is stalking him. After he is killed, Kinsey proceeds with her investigation and eventually finds the killer.Kinsey is quite an interesting character. I love the way Sue Grafton writes. She cracks me up sometimes! Consider these quotes: "What comes back to me most clearly is the hangover I endured after the cocktail of barbiturates I was injected with." "This was hotsy-totsy stuff. I wanted to say "hubba-hubba" but I was afraid she'd take offense."

Summary: I loved the "C" book. Bobby was such a lovable leading man.
Review: It was more tender than some of Grafton's other Alphabet books and nothing is better than a good cry. Kinsey Milhone is always fun to read, but this one showed a sentimental side of her character.

Summary: Kinsey is back to solve another crime
Review: Kinsey is back and this time she is asked by a young man Bobby Callahan to help him figure out who might want him dead. Kinsey agrees to take the case and she figures it should not be that hard and not to much work for her. As time goes on and Bobby is found dead. Kinsey starts to stumble across some evidence that might point towards who might have wanted Bobby dead and why they wanted him dead. Sue Grafton has knack for writing and hook me on the first book. I enjoy her writing style and am always looking forward to reading more books about Kinsey's adventures and how she figure them out. This was another great book in the series.

Summary: Kinsey's back!
Review: Kinsey Milhonne can't help but notice Bobby Callahan, the young man who works out at the same place she does. Although only about 20-years-old, he shows the physical effects of a terrible car accident he has endured. He is convinced that the accident was someone's attempt to kill him, and he feels that the person is still pursuing him. He hires Kinsey to find out who that person is. As she investigates, Kinsey finds out some surprising things about Bobby, but above all she feels admiration for a man who is battling to regain his memory and return to his normal physical state. The investigation takes Kinsey through high society and wealthy people in the medical community where secrets begin to unfold to her. This is the usual well-written Grafton mystery which has just enough twists and turns to make the ending interesting and satisfying to the reader.

Summary: Engaging mystery - kept me gripped till the end
Review: Kinsey Millhone, single female, Private Investigator and all-round ordinary person is still recovering from the beating she received solving her last crime (told to us in B is for Burglar). This is later on in 1982 and as part of her recovery programme she is working out at the gym. That's where she sees Bobby Callahan. He is also recovering from a serious accident, and he looks bad. A few months before he lost control of his car and drove off a canyon road killing his friend and almost killing himself. He lost most of his memory in the accident, and as it returns in flashes, he realises that someone was trying to kill him - and could try again. Kinsey takes the case wondering where to start - but before she gets too far Bobby is killed what seems to be an accidental crash, but Kinsey has her doubts. Given that he hired her to find his killers and left her with a retainer she feels she must, for his honour and memory, continue the case. Someone else in these reviews commented on Kinsey's loyalty, and that is right. She has a lot of likeable characteristics and this is one of them. Bobby's friends and family must be interviewed and eliminated from her investigation and these include mother, Glen; his stepfather, Derek ; his step-sister (a drug addict and anoretic), Kitty; - a beautiful ex-girlfriend ;- Doctor Fraker whom Bobby worked for ; Fraker's beautiful wife Nola whose first husband died in mysterious circumstances and a host of his mother's friends. Kinsey must find out who the mystery woman Bobby was meeting before his first accident and how his job at the morgue fitted in to all of this. At the same time Kinsey is having personal problems. Her personable landlord, Henry, has taken up with a widow by the name of Lila who has aroused everyone's suspicions except Henry's. Kinsey doesn't trust her and wants to find out what going on much closer to home as well....and then there are her feelings for Jonah Robb, gorgeous Policeman whom we first met in B is for Burglar. I do love Kinsey she is definitely addictive in all the good sense of the word. She is an engaging narrator for these books, detailed, good sense of humour and likeable. If she carries any chips on her shoulder she doesn't brood darkly about them, and I like that.. The mystery is satisfying to solve too - picking away at layers of clues and lies to find out what is going on beneath this all. The conclusion is somewhat Gothic but the story was so good I didn't mind that at all. Sue Grafton is definitely on my Keeper shelf - while C is for Corpse is not one of my favourites of her series - I just like Kinsey so much - she is readable, and human, and I enjoy that. In case you are wondering - you definitely don't have to read the series in order to make sense of the series. They are stand alone books in their own right.

Summary: Quick and enjoyable
Review: Kinsey's back. And this time, she's been hired by a man who suspects he's been the victim of an attempted murder. When he ends up dead just a few days later, Kinsey's convinced he was right.
Bobby Callahan is recovering from injuries sustained during a car accident that killed his best friend. When he approaches Kinsey with his theory behind the attempted murder, she's a little skeptical, but decides to do some investigating anyway - because, hey, she likes him. He seems like a good kid, even though his folks are the epitome of a troubled blended family. With his memory riddled with holes and missing pieces, discovering who might want him dead - and most importantly, why - is no easy task.
The third in the ever-popular Kinsey Milhone series, C IS FOR CORPSE also offers a humorous subplot involving Kinsey's landlord, Henry. It seems Henry's been having a little too much fun with a new girlfriend, and Kinsey smells trouble from a mile away.
The plot is predictable, and follows the well-outlined pace of the previous books. Kinsey takes a case, she discovers clues, and it all leads down the same path, to a heart-wrenching, hair-raising encounter with the bad guy.
Grafton's talent lies in her ability to capture Kinsey's voice. As always, Kinsey is an endearing character; someone readers can relate to and root for. A quick, enjoyable read.

Summary: "C" is for Corpse review book by Dennis R. Rivera
Review: Non-nonsense fictitious private investigator Kinsey Mullhone is back in the third book by popular and best-selling author Sue Grafton. "C" is for Corpse would not disappoint the fans of her popular series.
In "C" is for Corpse Kinsey meets Bobby Callahan at a local gym while both are recovering from injuries. Kinsey is rehabilitating her arm from a gunshot wound and Bobby is recovering strenuous therapy while recovering from several deforming and disabilitating injuries he suffered during a suspicious car accident.
Both become friends and Bobby hires Kinsey to investigate his tragic accident. He is convinced that he was deliberately forced off the road over the edge of a deep canyon, but the trauma and his head injuries have erased most the memories of the events that lead to the accident. He is also convinced that someone still wants to kill but cannot remember who or why.
Kinsey takes the case and desperately looks for clues but three days later Bobby is dead. Murdered by a killer trying to bury the past. Kinsey who never welshes on a deal continues on the case, and although she is hired to stop a killing, now she must concentrate in finding Bobby's killer before she or someone else become the next "corpse".
This third novel in the popular Grafton series also has a humorous subplot regarding Kinsey's landlord Henry. She must protect him from his new girlfriend who plans to rob him blind of all his money.
The author is able to weave all plots nicely together. Kinsey must search for answers into Bobby's death with few clues among his family, friends, and acquaintances, while at the same time, protect Henry from his shady girlfriend.
Grafton's vocabulary is easy to understand. No Webster is necessary to translate this novel. The story flow is common among Grafton fans; Kinsey takes case, she struggles to find clues, and finally stumbles alone on the answers the killer/killers and close to peril until by luck she is able to survive and solve the case.
The cast of suspects range from family members who are stoned head cases or whose stupidity makes them suspects, to friends who act like they have something to hide.
The ending was to far fetched for me. Kinsey solved the mystery by successfully operating an X-ray machine with no prior training. PLEASE! I spent twenty years as a medic in a military hospital, and could not operate a complicated X-ray machine without proper training. But hey, I guess that is why they call it fiction.
In conclusion Sue Grafton would not be disappointed with this third installment. I would recommend this fiction novel to people who like detective stories and love happy endings. As for me, I will eagerly await for the rest of the series when they come out on "The Movie of the Week." Sincerely,
Dennis R. Rivera

Summary: Poor Bobby!
Review: Of the "alphabet" series so far, C is for Corpse is one of the best. I read this book in one sititng! It starts out simply enough as a case to uncover the events leading up to a car accident that left young Bobby disfigured but ultimately leads to a muder investigation as Bobby is done in by his mystery assailant.
