G Is for Gumshoe: A Kinsey Millhone Mystery (Grafton, Sue. Kinsey Millhone Mysteries.)

Rating:
Summary: Another Fun Read!
Review: Keep 'em coming, Sue Grafton. Kinsey is my kind of woman. Exciting new adventures and interesting twists and turns! Light enough to give the reader a relaxing sleep, and fun enough to keep him smiling, and always true to life! Kinsey is real!

Summary: G is for Good, but not as great as the usual Grafton book
Review: Kinsey gets herself into two stories, intertwined, but not really related. I kept wanting the two plotlines to link up into a single story, but this never happened. There were several things about the book that were lacking. First, I never understood how the hitman got ahead of Kinsey in her trip down to the Salton Sea. I mean, come on, how could he anticipate which rest stop she would use? The killer seemed to have passed up several opportunities to get her, which also didn't make sense. And the Dietz character also didn't make sense. Yea, right, he decided to be her free bodyguard, then without much todo, he leaves at the end. The story was well written, however, and the connection to the 19th century sisters was well thought out. I hate to give Sue Grafton anything less than 4 stars, but this was the most dissappointing of the series so far (A-G).

Summary: Highly Recommended
Review: Kinsey is in danger - again! This time she feels the need to hire a body guard, who alternately helps solve the case and drives her crazy. Great mystery. Sue Grafton keeps getting better and better. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Fast-paced but confusing!
Review: Let me say that the beginng and middle of this book were great. They were action-packed and fast-paced. Kinsey was as funny as ever especially around Robert, the male version of herself. Then the last sixty pages were confusing. The ending of the hitman story was still easy to follow but the ending to the Gersh storyline was confusing. Not to give anything away but I didn't know who was really who and why things happened the way they happened. I read the ending twice and I still can't make sense of it. Maybe I'm stupid? O well still an engrossing mystery well worth your time.

Summary: Not one of her best
Review: Not up to A through F but Kinsey remains a great gal to spend some time with.

Summary: Really terrific
Review: Plowing ahead with the series, I found 'G' to be engrossing and chilling. I enjoyed the double plots and also very much liked how Grafton brought in many of the characters from past novels and fleshed them out a little. Bringing back Dietz was a stroke of genius as it allows Kinsey to play off of a male version of herself. I see from other reviews that he will be in future books - can't wait. Overall the plot and suspense of the story were one of the best...it's definitely a don't-miss in the Kinsey series.

Rating:
Summary: Entertaining and funny
Review: Sue Grafton seems to know an awful lot about detective work. Her ideas are sound and the story flows very smoothly. I've read most books in this series and am always amazed at the creativity of Ms. Grafton. Sometimes I can almost see the VW or the garage apartment. The characters leap from the page with their idiosyncrisies.

Summary: Feisty
Review: Sue Grafton's alphbet series introduces us to the feisty independent Kinsey Milhone and the plot and narrative in "G" is a well written hard-to-put-down addition to the series. Kinsey takes on a case that draws her into unexpected puzzling intrigue and line-of-fire danger. You will never be disappointed with a novel from the talented Sue Grafton.

Summary: Excellent, Best book yet !
Review: This book is excellent. I couldn't put it down. Don't take it on vacation with you, you would never leave the hotel. My hair stylist asked me to PLEASE put the book away while she finishes my hair, once she was done she promptly walked over to the book store and purchased it and said " It must be good, the way your head was buried in it "
