Summary: Verry interesting!
Review: I read this immediately after "H is for Homicide" (so I don't know the alphabet). Kinsey finds her client's mother, gets
her back to Santa Theresa, and has to find her again! Meanwhile,
her personal life is busy - her apartment is reconstructed, she fixes up a friend with the blind date the friend gave her, and has a bodyguard helping her dodge a hitman!
I can't wait to find out what's up with Kinsey and the bodyguard!

Summary: Keeps you guessing!!
Review: I really like Sue Grafton's books and have read A through G now. This book began a little slowly, but once it got going, it certainly kept you guessing. I recommend it!

Summary: Pretty Good One
Review: I thought this one in the Kinsey series was quite different than Sue's others. The beginning and the end of the novel were very exciting, but in the middle it was a little slow. She seemed to be thinking and writing on a higher order for this one. Make sure to pay very close attention to Agnes's clues near the beginning of the novel. However, There were a couple of things that bothered me with the story. Kinsey seemed to piece everything together quite easily together with Agnes's past. It wasn't that clear for me on who was whom. The character of Irene was obnoxious in the way she was always sickly. Also, there didn't seem to be any apparent attraction between kinsey and the bodyguard, and then boom, they are romantically connected. All and all, I like this one and E is for Evidence the most so far in the series.

Summary: So who is perfect?
Review: I would agree that it is never made quite clear why Kinsey is on someone's hit list, and one has to pretty much read between the lines to find a rational explanation as to why the culprit commited the crimes against the family of Kinsey's client, but life isn't always going to give us what we want. I wouldn't go so far as to say Kinsey is a hard-boiled detective, but it certainly seems she gets banged around as though she were one. I would hope she is physically stonger than is let on in the series or she might not last long enough to make it through Z. Given her experience with two different dead-beat husbands you would think Kinsey would know better than to have a one night stand with her body guard. This series is one of the lighter mystery series on the market these days. It also happens to be a rather good one. If you want top of the line read Agatha Christie or Rex Stout. If you don't much care how ridiculous matters can get read Tamar Myers or Rita Mae Brown. But, if you enjoy a good read which is entertaining, enjoyable, and still manages to keep you in some supense, then here is the series for you. This novel may not be the best in this particular series but it is still fun to read.

Summary: Keeps you guessing!!
Review: In this 7th. book of the Kinsey Milhonne series, the likeable female sleuth is in search of Agnes Gray who has not been in contact with her daughter Irene for several months. At the same time, Kinsey is trying to avoid being killed by a hit man who is hired by someone trying to wreak revenge on her. She reluctantly hires a bodyguard, Robert Dietz, who is a male counterpart to Kinsey--tough, independent, and good at his job.
Grafton skillfully weaves these plots together, and creates a mystery involving lost identities and family secrets. Kinsey continues to grow as a character--plucky and unflappable, with just the right amount of vulnerability and frank self-appraisal.
Another winner!

Summary: an unusually large story for Grafton, and well-executed
Review: In this seventh installment of Kinsey Millhone's adventures as a private detective, Kinsey has much more on her plate than usual. She is hired to locate a client's elderly mother, who has disappeared; she also discovers that someone is trying to have her killed. The first challenge develops in unexpected ways, and the search for Kinsey's would-be killer is a well-integrated secondary plot. The whole thing is bound up in Grafton's usual competent, easy-to-read writing. The book's only shortcoming is that it could have been much more than it was. It is essentially two stories coincident in time and both involving Kinsey; no thematic connection between them is evident. While this does not detract from the novel's enjoyability, it leaves some doubt as to why Grafton introduced a second story element rather than elaborating a bit more on the first.
